Answer:

MnO- Manganese Oxide

Explanation:

Empirical formula: This is the formula that shows the ratio of elements

present in a  

compound.

   

How to determine Empirical formula

1. First arrange the symbols of the elements present in the compound

alphabetically to  determine the real empirical formula. Although, there

are exceptions to this rule, E.g H2So4

2. Divide the percentage composition by the mass number.

3. Then divide through by the smallest number.

4. The resulting answer is the ratio attached to the elements present in

a compound.

           

                                                                              Mn                         O    

                         

% composition                                                      72.1                      27.9    

                       

Divide by mass number                                       54.94                     16  

                                 

                                                                               1.31                      1.74    

                       

Divide by the smallest number                         1.31                      1.31                          

                                                                               1                    1.3

                                                 

The resulting ratio is 1:1

 

Hence the Empirical formula is MnO, Manganese oxide

What is the mass in 6.34x10^23 molecules of calcium chloride
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer : The mass of calcium chloride is, 116.84 grams

Solution : Given,

Molar mass of calcium chloride, CaCl_2 = 110.98 g/mole

Number of molecules of calcium chloride = 6.34\times 10^{23}

As we know that,

1 mole of calcium chloride contains 6.022\times 10^{23} molecules of calcium chloride

or,

1 mole of calcium chloride contains 110.98 grams of calcium chloride

Or, we can say that

As, 6.022\times 10^{23} molecules of calcium chloride present in 110.98 grams of calcium chloride

So, 6.34\times 10^{23} molecules of calcium chloride present in \frac{6.34\times 10^{23}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 110.98=116.84grams of calcium chloride

Therefore, the mass of calcium chloride is, 116.84 grams

The pH of a solution can be calculated from which of the following expressions?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

(c) pH = -log [H^+]

Explanation:

pH defines the acidicity or basicity a solution.

pH also refers to hydrogen ion concentration and it is only applied to aqueous solution.

pH ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral and a pH less than 7 is acidic while a pH higher than basic.
