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.

What two forms of energy do portable radio has?
kogti [31]

Answer: okay, girl I got you . Chemical.

Nuclear.

Thermal.

Electromagnetic. The Electromagnetic Spectrum. The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is the range of all types of EM radiation. Radiation is energy that travels and spreads out as it goes – the visible light that comes from a lamp in your house and the radio waves that come from a radio station are two types of electromagnetic radiation. This lesson will introduce electricity as the flow of electrons. In some cases, electricity can be the flow of positive charges or both positive and negative charges. This lesson will focus on the more typically defined flow of electrical current as that of electrons. Students should have some basic knowledge of atoms and their structure. However, as part of their online readings, students will investigate the basics of atomic structure (nucleus, protons, neutrons, electrons). Thus, this lesson provides a good opportunity to clarify misconceptions about atoms and to ensure that all students understand basic atomic structure. According to the Benchmarks for Science Literacy, students of all ages show a wide range of beliefs about the nature and behavior of particles. They lack an appreciation of the very small size of particles; attribute macroscopic properties to particles; believe there must be something in the space between particles; have difficulty in appreciating the intrinsic motion of particles in solids, liquids, and gases; and have problems in conceptualizing forces between particles. This misconception is important to keep in mind when talking about electricity as the flow of electrons. Students may think that the electrons are in the copper wire and not the copper atoms that make up the wire. It is important to stress this point with students so that they develop an understanding that substances are composed of atoms, rather than atoms residing as a separate entity within substances.

Cuál o cuáles de las siguientes características son correctas para la mayoría de los compuestos del carbono?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Todas son correctas

Explanation:

I) Los compuestos del carbono son solubles en disolventes no polares como el hexano, benceno, éter, etc. <em>VERDADERO. </em>La mayoría de los compuestos de carbono son apolares, y basados en la regla: Similar disuelve similar, podemos presumir que la mayoría de compuestos de carbono se disuelven en solventes no polares.

II) Los compuestos del carbono generalmente presentan puntos de fusión y de ebullición bajos. <em>VERDADERO. </em>Al ser sustancias apolares, sus fuerzas electrostáticas son bajas. De la misma manera, como su masa atómica es pequeña, las fuerzas de Van der Waals son despreciables haciendo que sus puntos de fusión y ebullición sean bajos respecto a sustancias de estrucutra similar.

III) La gran mayoría de los compuestos del carbono son combustibles, sean estos, gaseosos, líquidos o sólidos. <em>VERDADERO. </em>Los gases (Como el gas natural) son combustibles usados para cocina. Los líquidos (Como la gasolina) son combustibles y bastante inflamables. Los sólidos (Como la madera) se usan como combustibles para hacer asados o son el combustible en incendios forestales.

IV) El enlace covalente es característico de los compuestos del carbono. <em>VERDADERO. </em>La polaridad del carbono es neutral haciendo que la mayoría de los enlaces que forma sean covalentes.

Part 1. A lightly inflated balloon is placed in a freezer. Explain the change to the size of the balloon based on the kinetic mo
Eduardwww [97]

According to Kinetic molecular theory, the frozen balloon shrank and it will expands and get burst when it is kept in sun.

<h3>What is Kinetic molecular theory ?</h3>

Kinetic molecular theory of gases is a theoretical model that describes the molecular composition of the gas in terms of a large number of submicroscopic particles which include atoms and molecules.

According to this theory, gas pressure arises due to particles colliding with each other and the walls of the container.

Because the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules in a balloon decreases when the temperature decreases.

This makes the molecules move more slowly and have less frequent and weaker collisions with the inside wall of the balloon, which causes the balloon to shrink a little.

Due to the sun's heat, the kinetic energy of particles in the balloon increases and it expands and continues to expand and comes to a stage when the balloon bursts.

Therefore,

According to Kinetic molecular theory, the frozen balloon shrank and it will expands and get burst when it is kept in sun.
