Answer:

KNO₂

Explanation:

To get the empirical formula of a compound, we follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Given data

%K = 45.942%

%N = 16.458%

%O = 100.000% - 45.942% - 16.458% = 37.600%

Step 2: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

K: 45.942 / 39.098 = 1.1750

N: 16.458 / 14.007 = 1.1750

O: 37.600 / 15.999 = 2.3501

Step 3: We divide all the coefficients by the smallest number

K: 1.1750 / 1.1750 = 1

N: 1.1750 / 1.1750 = 1

O: 2.3501 / 1.1750 = 2

The empirical formula is KNO₂.

lorasvet [3.4K]

The full question is shown in the image attached

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In naming an alkane, the first thing we do is to obtain the parent chain by counting the number of carbon atoms in the chain.

When we obtain that, then we identify the substituents and number them in such a way that they have the lowest numbers. The compounds shown have the following names according to the order in which the structures appear in the image attached;

1. 2-methyl propane

2. 2,4-dimethyl heptane

3. 2,2,3,3-tetramethyl butane

4. 5-ethyl-2,4-dimethyl octane

What is the density of a block marble that occupies 255 cm^3 and has a mass of 1000g
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

<h2>3.92 g/cm³</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question we have

density =  \frac{1000}{255}  \\  = 3.921568...

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.92 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you
