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

Why do the pH scale generally range from 0 to 14 in aqueous solution?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

In aqueous solution the pH scale varies from 0 to 14, which indicates this concentration of hydrogen. Solutions with pH less than 7 are acidic (the value of the exponent of the concentration is higher, because there are more ions in the solution) and alkaline (basic) those with a pH higher than 7. If the solvent is pure water, the pH = 7 indicates neutrality of the solution

Explanation:

PH is a measure of how acidic or basic a liquid is. Specifically, from a dissolution. The acidity of a solution is essentially due to the concentration of hydrogen ions dissolved in it. In reality, the ions are not found alone, but are in the form of hydronium ions consisting of one oxygen molecule and three positively charged hydrogen. PH precisely measures this concentration. And to do it, we can use simple and very visual methods.

Chromium is strange because it moves on to the 4s orbital instead of filling the 3d orbital with that last electron. Tricky.

Mark as brainliest if this helped! :)

Answer:

C. NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

Explanation:

» For a balanced equation, the number of atoms of reactants and products must be equal.

» In equation C, the reactant side has one sodium atom while ptoduct side has 2 sodium atoms.

» The balanced equations mus be;

{ \rm{ 2NaHCO _{3(aq)} → Na _{2}CO _{3(s)}+ H _{2} O _{(l)} + }CO _{2(g)} }
