"What is salt composed of?" Maria wondered. She took a microscope from the cabinet in her science classroom, put some salt on a

microscope slide, and focused on the salt. She saw tiny squares on the slide. "I guess salt is made only of crystals:" Maria observed. Is Maria correct in her conclusion?

Answer is: No. Salt, like all matter is composed of atoms.

For example, table salt is sodium chloride mixed with small amount of potassium iodide (KI), sodium iodide (NaI) or sodium iodate (NaIO₃).

Atomic level - sodium chloride (NaCl) has crystal cubic structure (lattice-type arrangement) with ionic bonds. Sodium is cation with charge 1+ and chlorine is an anion with charge 1-.

Macroscopic level - table salt is colorless crystal, soluble in water with high melting and boiling temperature.

You have a radioactive isotope with a mass of 400 grams. The sample has a half life of 5 days. How much is left after 25 days ha
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Amount left after 25 days = 12.5 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sample = 400 g

Half life of sample = 5 days

Mass left after 25 days = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of half lives passes in given time period.

Number of half lives = Time elapsed / Half life

Number of half lives = 25 days/ 5 days

Number of half lives = 5

At time zero = 400 g

At 1st half life = 400 g/2 = 200 g

At 2nd half life = 200 g/2 = 100 g

At 3rd half life = 100 g/2 = 50 g

At 4th half life = 50 g/2 = 25 g

At 5th half life = 25 g/2 = 12.5 g

A compound has an empirical formula CH2 and a molecular mass of 70.1 amu. What is
kompoz [17]

Answer:

Molecular formula = C₅H₁₀

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Empirical formula of compound => CH₂

Molar mass of compound = 70.1 amu

Molecular formula of compound =...?

The molecular formula of a compound is usually a multiple (n) of the empirical formula i.e

Molecular formula = [CH₂]ₙ

Thus, to obtain the molecular formula of the compound, we must first determine the value of n. The value of n can be obtained as follow:

[CH₂]ₙ = 70.1

[12 + (2×1)]n = 70.1

[12 + 2]n = 70.1

14n = 70.1

Divide both side by 14

n = 70.1 / 14

n = 5

Molecular formula = [CH₂]ₙ

Molecular formula = [CH₂]₅

Molecular formula = C₅H₁₀

Thus, the Molecular formula of the compound is C₅H₁₀.
