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

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Metal is a conductor. it takes in heat very well. wood is an insulator. it takes in heat too, but less of it. this makes the wood handle cooler and the metal handle hot

Identify each statement as true or false. Explain in every case.a.Ionization energies are always negative quantities.b.Oxygen ha

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) FALSE

(b) FALSE

(d) FALSE

Explanation:

Ionization energy refers to the energy needed for removal of a valence electron present in valence shell of a gaseous atom.

(a) The value of ionization energy of an atom is always positive. This is because energy has to be always supplied or provided to a gaseous atom for the removal of the valence electron.

Therefore, the statement (A) is false

(b) The ionization energy of an atom increases across a period i.e. from left to right. This is because the effective nuclear charge that is experienced by the valence electron increases from left to right in the periodic table, as the atomic number increases.

So, more energy is required to remove the valence electron of fluorine as compared to oxygen.

Therefore, the ionization energy of fluorine is greater than oxygen.

Therefore, the statement (B) is false

(c) First ionization energy is energy needed for removal of first electron present in valence shell of a neutral atom. Whereas, second ionization energy is the energy needed for removal of second electron present in valence shell of a monovalent cation

The second ionization energy of an atom is always greater than the first ionization energy. This is because removing an electron from a positively charged species, requires more energy.

Therefore, the statement (C) is true

(d) The third ionization energy refers to the energy needed to remove the third electron from a divalent cation.

Therefore, the statement (D) is false

A swimming pool is 5.0 m long, 4.0 m wide and 3.0 m deep. Compute the force exerted by the water against

Alona [7]

For the answer to the question above, ater weights 1000kg per meter cubed. the volume of the pool is part A is 5*4*3 = 60 meters cubed 
60*1000 = 60 000kg. the force from this is m*g = 60 000 * 9.81 = 588kN 

part B: 
volume: 4*4*3 = 48 meters cubed 
48 * 1000 = 48000kg 
F = 9.81*48000 = 470kN
I hope this helps.
