Answer:

Fe₃Si₇

Explanation:

In order to determine the empirical formula, we have to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Determine the percent composition

Fe: 46.01%

Si: 53.99%

Step 2: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

Fe: 46.01/55.85 = 0.8238

Si: 53.99/28.09 = 1.922

Step 3: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one

Fe: 0.8238/0.8238 = 1

Si: 1.922/0.8238 = 2.33

Step 4: Multiply by numbers that make the coefficients whole.

Fe: 1 × 3 = 3

Si: 2.33 × 3 = 7

The empirical formula is Fe₃Si₇.

_NaHCO(s) --&gt; _CO2+_NaCO(s)+_H2O<br><br>balance the equation​
elena55 [62]

The balanced equation :

2NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

NaHCO(s) --> _CO2+_NaCO(s)+_H2O

Required

The balanced equation

Solution

Maybe the equation should be like this :

NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O

Give a coefficient

NaHCO₃⇒aCO₂ + bNa₂CO₃+cH₂O

Make an equation

Na, left=1, right=2b⇒2b=1⇒b=1/2

H, left=1, right=2c⇒2c=1⇒c=1/2

C, left=1, right=a+b⇒a+b=1⇒a+1/2=1⇒a=1/2

The equation becomes :

NaHCO₃⇒1/2CO₂ +1/2Na₂CO₃+1/2H₂O x2

2NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O

Which of the following is a disadvantage of using hydropower? (2 points)
anygoal [31]

Answer : The disadvantage of using hydropower is Land can be flooded, displacing people and wildlife

Explanation :

Hydropower is a renewable source of energy. In hydropower, electricity is generated using the mechanical energy of moving water.

Since the kinetic energy is necessary to move the turbines, it is essential that the hydropower plant is present near a water source which has moving water.

It is the most efficient way of harnessing the energy from naturally available energy sources. It does not produce any waste. It does not pollute water or air.

Since hydropower needs kinetic energy of moving water, there is always a possibility of nearby land getting flooded. This would affect the people and wildlife of nearby areas.

Therefore the disadvantage of using hydropower is that land can be flooded, displacing people and wildlife

The density of nitric oxide (NO) gas at 0.866 atm and 46.2 degrees celcius is ____ g/L
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

 d = 0.992 g/L

Explanation:

Data Given:

Pressure of nitric oxide (NO) = 0.866 atm

Temperature of a gas = 46.2° C

Convert the temperature to kelvin = 46.2° C + 273  

temperature in kelvin = 319.2 K

density of nitric oxide (NO) = ?

Solution:

Density of a gas can be calculated by

                       d = PM /RT

Where

d = density

P = Pressure

M = molar mass of gas

R = ideal gas constant  = 0.0821 L atm mol⁻¹ K⁻¹

T = temperature

So,

Molar mass of NO = 30 g/mol

Put values in the formula:

                        d = PM /RT

           d = 0.866 atm × 30 g/mol / 0.0821 L atm mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ × 319.2 K

           d = 25.98 atm. g/mol / 26.2 L atm mol⁻¹

           d = 0.992 g/L
