It should be KNO3 to the best of my understanding

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 is the wavenumber of the radiation emitted when a hydrogen
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: Wavenumber of the radiation emitted  is 0.08\times 10^{8}m^{-1}

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and energy of the wave follows the equation:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of the radiation = 1.634\times 10^{-18}J

h = Planck's constant  = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

\lambda = wavelength of radiation = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.634\times 10^{-18}J=\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda=12.16\times 10^{-8}m

\bar {\nu}=\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{12.16\times 10^{-8}}=0.08\times 10^{8}m^{-1}

Thus wavenumber of the radiation emitted  is 0.08\times 10^{8}m^{-1}

A 1.000-g sample of lead shot reacted with oxygen to give 1.077 g of product. Calculate the empirical formula of the lead oxide
Evgesh-ka [11]
It mean it consisted of 1 g of lead and 0.077 g of O2.
divide these numbers by molar mas.
1/82=0.012 Pb /0.004 = 3
0.077/16= 0.004 O /0.004 =1
Pb3O

Se construye una pila galvánica con una barra de cobre sumergida en una disolución 1M de cationes Fe+2 y una barra de plata sume
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

El potencial celular estándar, E_{cell} is +0.46 V

Explanation:

Las reacciones de media célula son;

Media reacción del ánodo Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ↔ Cu, E ° = 0.34 V

Media reacción catódica 2Ag + 2e⁻ ⁻ 2Ag, E ° = 0.80 V

Sin embargo tenemos para hierro Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻ ↔ Fe, E ° -0.44 V

y Fe³⁺ + e⁻ ↔ Fe²⁺, E ° = 0.77 V

 que es más alta que la del cobre presente, por lo tanto, el cobre se oxidará en el ánodo

Por lo tanto, en el ánodo, tendremos

Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ (E ° = -0.34 V)

En el cátodo

2Ag + 2e⁻ → 2Ag (E ° = 0.80 V)

E_{cell} = E_c + E_a = -0.34 + 0.8 = +0.46 \, V

El potencial celular estándar, E_{cell} = +0.46 V
