Answer:

The empirical formula of the compound would be A_2Z_3

Explanation:

The A ions are in the body center position and at each corner .

There are 8 faces of the cube and 1 corner is also shared by another 7 cubic unit.

Then number of A ion in a cubic unit = 1+\frac{1}{8}\times 8=2

The Z ions are on each face of the cubic unit :

There are 6 faces of the cube and 1 face is shared by another cubic unit.

Then number of Z ions in a cubic unit = \frac{1}{2}\times 6=3

The structural formula of the cubic lattice is  =A_2Z_3

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

The empirical formula of the compound would be A_2Z_3

Pls assist if you can.<br>Reasons why hydrogen was chosen as a standard reference to other elements
MrMuchimi

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Hydrogen either reacts with or is formed by reactions with many other elements, so chemists could use it directly to determine their relative masses.
  • Hydrogen has the smallest atomic mass, so it was convenient to give H a relative atomic mass of 1 and assign those of other elements as multiples of this number.

The O = 16 scale became the standard in 1903 and carbon-12 was chosen in 1961.

In the titration between potassium iodate and the sodium thiosulfate solution, if the titration is not performed immediately aft
N76 [4]

Answer:

The calculated concentration of sodium thiosulphate solution will be less than the actual value.

Explanation:

When IO3^2- solution is added to KI solution, I2 gas is released ,then sulphuric acid is now added to facilitate reduction. In order to prevent the escape of iodine (I2) gas ,the solution must immediately be titrated with thiosulphate.

If the solution is not immediately titrated with thiosulphate, the concentration of iodine available in the system decreases. When this occurs, it will also cause a decrease in the amount of iodine available to react with thiosulphate thus decreasing the concentration of thiosulphate obtained from calculation

What evidence do you need to determine that two rocks have some similar minerals because the minerals from the original rock was
klio [65]

Answer:

It comes from same parent material.

Explanation:

The two rocks have some similar minerals which indicates that they are comes from the same parent material but with the passage of time it is mixed with other minerals due to which they are some different in composition from one another so we can conclude that they comes from the same parent material due to the presence of some similar minerals.
