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

Answer:

Hydrogen peroxide should be stored in

1) a cool environment

2) with amber bottles away from sunlight

3) with little drops of sodium phosphate

Explanation:

It has been confirmed that heat and light aids in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide according to the equation; 2H2O2→2 H2O + O2.

This means that hydrogen peroxide must be stored in a cool place. This will reduce its rate of decomposition. Secondly, it should be stored in amber bottles away from light since light also aids in its decomposition.

Thirdly, drops of sodium phosphate may be added to prevent its catalytic decomposition during storage.

How do three states of matter arise?
Evgen [1.6K]
The status of the state of matter of a material defines the phase. Pellet currently case 16 is defined; three of which solid, liquid and gas are referred to as conventional cases. There are a total of 16 state currently defined, these classic except; liquid crystal, amorphous solid, magnetic regularly, superconducting, superfluid, the Bose-Einstein condensation, Rydberg molecules, plasma (ionized gas), the quark-gluon plasma, degenerate matter, Superkate, the stringy liquid and SuperCam mine. Daily life in general, solid materials, include liquid or gaseous, but outside world, 99% of the material in the universe plasma (ionized gas) is in the form.

Viktor [21]

Answer: subduction and sea floor spreading

Explanation:

He knew that the continents today were once joined together by fossil records of plants and animals that were found to be on continents far removed from each other. He knew this also by corresponding land forms that matches up as well. What he couldn’t prove is how the land masses would have moved so far away from each other. Subduction and sea floor spreading move the tectonic plates that the continents sit on. That’s what he was missing.

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

C. Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is one of the end-product of combustion reactions involving many fuels today.

With the rapid increase in urbanization and technological development, man demand for energy increased tremendously. The discovery of fossil fuels paved the way for the astronomical increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil invovles the process where the carbon atoms present in these fuels combine with oxygen in the air to make CO2. This has resulted in an increase in the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).

The burning fossil fuels for electricity, industry, heat, and transportation are the major sources of the emossion of carbon dioxide.

Also, the cutting down of trees for paper production, building construction and for the establishment of settlements also increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Trees are help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. However, when these trees are cut down, carbon dioxide accumulates in the atmosphere.
