The empirical formula of the compound is determined by converting the individual masses of each element to moles first. Hence for Mg, this is equal to 0.2042 moles, and oxygen is equal to 0.2 moles. We divide the number of moles to the smaller value between the two. For Mg, that is 1 as well as for oxygen. Hence the answer is MgO or magnesium oxide.

salantis [7]

Answer:

Darmstadtium

Explanation:

An element with the electronic configuration 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶6s²4f¹⁴5d¹⁰6p⁶7s²5f¹⁴6d⁸ has 110 electrons in its electron shells.

Since the element is a neutral atom, this number is also equal to its atomic number. Therefore, its atomic number is 110.

The element in the period table that has an atomic number of 110 is Darmstadtium, a d-block element, thus a transittion metal. It also belong to period 7 in the Periodic table of elements.

12.1 g CoCl3 calculate the amount, in moles
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Number of moles of CoCl3 =  0.09 moles

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CoCl₃ = 12.1 g

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the molar mass.

Molar mass of CoCl3 = 28.01 + (35.5×3)

Molar mass of CoCl3 = 28.01 + 106.5

Molar mass of CoCl3 = 134.51 g/mol

Number of moles of CoCl3 = mass / molar mass

Number of moles of CoCl3 = 12.1 g/134.51 g/mol

Number of moles of CoCl3 =  0.09 moles

Explain what happens to the energy in a wave when a sound is louder.
liraira [26]
Greater amplitude waves have more energy and greater intensity, so they sound louder. ... The same amount of energy is spread over a greater area, so the intensity and loudness of the sound is less. This explains why even loud sounds fade away as you move farther from the source.

What are ions and how do they work please send me answer​
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

hope it helps

please mark me brainliest

Explanation:

An ion is a charged atom or molecule. It is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. An atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom.

What are the different elements found in naphthalene and how many atoms of each are found in the formula. C10H8
Alex777 [14]
Calculating the molar mass of naphthalene (C10H8)

molar mass = 10 x (12.01) + 8(1.008)

= 120.1 + 8.064 = 128.164 g/mol
