1 Aluminium is oxidised Al - 3e = Al⁺³
2 Chlorine is reduced Cl⁺⁷ + 8e = Cl⁻¹
3 Nitrogen is oxidised 2N⁻³ - 6e = N₂
What is the exoeruent. Searched it up on google and only came up with two search results. None related to chemistry
Answer:
XZ2
Explanation:
There are different ways in which compounds can be represented. Broadly, we have three different types of formula;
- Structural formular: This shows how th atoms in te compound are connected to each other.
- Molecular formular: This shows the actual number of atoms of element present in the compound
- Empirical Formular: This is the simplest formular of a compound. It basically shows the number of atoms in simple ration to each other.
This question requires us to input the empirical formular;
X2Z4
The ratio of the elements is; 2 : 4 which can be simplified into 1 : 2
This means the empirical formular is XZ2
The density of the sample is:
Density = mass / volume
Density = 9.85 / 0.675
Density = 14.6 g/cm³
If the sample has 95% gold, and 5% silver, its density should be:
0.95 x 19.3 + 0.05 x 10.5
Theoretical density = 18.9 g/cm³
The difference in theoretical and actual densities is very large, making it likely that the jeweler was not telling the truth.
