Answer: XF8

Explanation:

Empirical Formular shows the simplest ratio of elements in a compound.

 Xe = 46.3%             F  = 53.7%

Divide the percentage composition of each element by the atomic  mass.

Xe = 46.3/ 131.3                      F= 53.7/ 19

      = 0.353( approx)               =  2.826 (approx)

Divide through with the smallest of the answers gotten in previous step.

 Xe = 0.353 / 0.353                F = 2.826/ 0.353

       =  1                                       = 8.0

Empirical formular = XF8

Butane, ch3-ch2-ch2-ch3, is a hydrocarbon fuel used in lighters. how many moles of molecules are there in a 350. gram sample of
Galina-37 [17]
<span>6.03 moles.



1 molecule of butane contains 4 carbon atoms and ten hydrogen atoms.

The molar mass is 4 times the atomic mass of carbon, 12 g/mol, plus 10 times the atomic weight of hydrogen, 1 g/mol.

Molar mass = 4 * 12 g/mol + 10 * 1 g/mol = 58 g/mol.

This means that 1 mole of butane has a mass of 58 g.

To figure out how many moles are in a sample of butane, divide the mass of sample in grams by 58 grams

Number of moles in sample = 350 g / 58 g/mol = 6.03 moles.</span>

Which pair of elements would you expect to exhibit the greatest similarity in their physical and chemical properties? Sr, Te Ga,
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

N and P will have similarity

Electronic configuration of N

2,5

1s²2s²p⁵

Electronic configuration of  P

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁵

Electronic configuration bears similarity.

Both have 5 electrons in their outermost orbits . So they exhibit similarity in their properties. Both belong to the same 15 th group of periodic table.

Sr and Rb too bear much similarity . Both are strongly electro-positive metal , difference in their atomic no being only one.
