Answer:

B. It shows the ratio of elements in the compound.

Explanation:

Empirical formula tells about the ration of the elements found in the compound . The ratio are in complete number .

For example the molecular formula of glucose is C₆ H₁₂O₆

Its empirical formula = CH₂O

The metric system is based on what number?

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The prefixes attached to metric units carry the same meaning for all base units. The metric system is based upon powers of ten, which is convenient because: A measurement in the metric system that is represented by a rational number remains a rational number after metric unit conversion.

For the reaction at equilibrium: 2 NO(g) + O2(g) → 2 NO2(g) Which change will increase the amount of NO2(g)? a. Remove NO gas b.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

b. Add NO gas

Explanation:

According with Le Chatelier´s principle, when a reactant is added the equilibrium is displaced to the product(s), to achieve the equilibrium again. Therefore, if NO is added in the reaction, it will be produced more of NO2(g).

a rock is examined to determine its age, and the ratio of uranium-235 to lead-207 is found to be 125,000:875,000. the half-life

slamgirl [31]

The old age of rock when examined is 21.4 million years if the ratio of uranium-235 to lead-207 is found to be 125,000:875,000. the half-life of uranium-235 is 700 million years.

<h3>Decaying Equation </h3>

P = [P + D] (1/2) ^(t/t(1/2))

where,

P represent the present parent amount

D is the present daughter amount

t(1/2) is the half life time period

t is the actual age

We know that,

t = (log[(P+D) /P] / log2) × t(1/2) ----------(1)

Given,

P = 97.6

D = 2.1

Ratio of P and D can be calculated as

P/D = 97.6/2.1

= 46.476

By substituting all the values in eq(1), we get

t = [(log 46.476 +1)/log2] × t(1/2)

Given,

The half life of U —Pb decay is 700 million years.

So,

t = [(log 46.476 +1)/log2] × 700

t = 21.4 million years.

Thus, we calculated that the the old age of rock when examined is 21.4 million years.

DISCLAIMER:

The given question is misprint on portal.

Here is the correct form of question:

A rock is examined to determine its age, and the ratio of uranium-235 to lead-207 is found to be 125,000:875,000. the half-life of uranium-235 is 700 million years.

How old is the rock if it contains Uranium-235/ lead-207 ratio of 97.6 to 2.1?

What is the molar mass of water (H2O)?

Sidana [21]

Answer:

The molar mass is: 18.02 g/mol.

Explanation:

Mass of two moles of Hydrogen atoms (H2) = 2x 1 g/mol = 2 g/mol.

Mass of one mole of water (H2O) = 2 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 18 g/mol.

1 mole of Hydrogen= 1.01, so if we have 2 moles of it here, that would be 2.02.

1 mole of Oxygen (that's all we have here)= 16.00

Once you add the two together (2.02+16.00), you will get 18.02.

I hope this made sense! Have a great day!

when you cook food like eggs or potatoes this is a chemical change when candle burns the wick of the candle and wax turn into no

finlep [7]

When you cook food like eggs, this is a chemical change. Agree.

The runny egg turns into a solid. One type of matter must be changing into another type

When you cook food like potatoes, this is a chemical change. Agree.

Boiling potatoes causes changes in the structure of the starch. Higher heat as in baking, roasting, or frying causes the development of a harder crust on the potato. This suggests that chemical changes have taken place.

When a candle burns, the wick of the candle and wax turn into nothing. Disagree.

The <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em> says that <em>you can’t turn matter into nothing</em>. What must be happening is that the wick and the wax are changing into other substances that we can’t see, such as colourless gases of carbon dioxide and water vapour.
