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.

Question 4 (1 point)<br> If you have exactly one million atoms how many moles do you have?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

                       1.66 × 10⁻¹⁸  Moles

Explanation:

                     As we know one mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 10²³ particles (atoms, ions, molecules or formula units). This number is also called as Avogadro's Number.

The relation between Moles, Number of Atoms and Avogadro's Number is given as,

             Number of Moles  =  Number of Atoms ÷ 6.022 × 10²³ Atoms/mol

Putting values,

              Number of Moles  =  1.0 × 10⁶ Atoms ÷ 6.022 × 10²³ Atoms/mol

              Number of Moles  =  1.66 × 10⁻¹⁸  Moles

What is the ph of a solution with [h3o+] = 1 × 10-9 m?
FrozenT [24]
PH scale is used to determine how acidic, basic or neutral a solution is
pH can be calculated using the H₃O⁺
ph can be calculated as follows
pH = - log[ H₃O⁺]
[H₃O⁺] = 1 x 10⁻⁹
pH = - log [1 x 10⁻⁹]
 pH = 9
pH of solution is 9

Select the compounds from the list below which are insoluble in water
natulia [17]

Answer:

Insoluble in water:

  • BaSO4
  • PbCl2
  • Cu2O
  • AgBr

Explanation:

Water turns out to be a good solvent for ionic substances, or in general, polarized covalent substances. On the other hand, it is not a good solvent for non-polar substances, these being the vast majority of covalent substances.

What is the concentration of Htions at a pH = 11?
Lostsunrise [7]
Answer:
a) 1 x 10^-11 mol/L
b) 1 x 10^-6 mol/L
c) 1 x 10^-5 fewer H+ ions

Explanation

pH stands for Power of Hydrogen, the more acidic a substance is, the more H+ ions it has rendering the substance acidic. a pH of 1 means the concentration of H+ ions is 1 x 10^-1. A pH of 7 means the concentration of H+ ions is 1 x 10^-7 and so on.

10^-11 has 10^-5 more H+ ions than 10^-6

Hope this helps :)
