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.

What is the conjugate acid in the following equation:
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

HNO₂

Explanation:

An acid is a proton donor; a base is a proton acceptor.

Thus, NO₂⁻ is the base, because it accepts a proton from the water.

H₂O is the acid, because it donates a proton to the nitrite ion.

The conjugate base is what's left after the acid has given up its proton.

The conjugate acid is what's formed when the base has accepted a proton.

NO₂⁻/HNO₂ make one conjugate acid/base pair, and H₂O/OH⁻ are the other conjugate acid/base pair.

NO₂⁻ + H₂O ⇌ HNO₂ + OH⁻

Calculate the acid dissociation constant Ka of a 0.2 M solution of weak acid that is 0.1% ionized is ________.
mars1129 [50]

Answer: acid dissociation constant Ka= 2.00×10^-7

Explanation:

For the reaction

HA + H20. ----> H3O+ A-

Initially: C. 0. 0

After : C-Cx. Cx. Cx

Ka= [H3O+][A-]/[HA]

Ka= Cx × Cx/C-Cx

Ka= C²X²/C(1-x)

Ka= Cx²/1-x

Where x is degree of dissociation = 0.1% = 0.001 and c is the concentration =0.2

Ka= 0.2(0.001²)/(1-0.001)

Ka= 2.00×10^-7

Therefore the dissociation constant is

2.00×10^-7

How many protons and electrons does oxygen have? What about hydrogen? Draw a model of each atom if that helps you think about th
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Two electrons fit in the first shell out from the nucleus and eight fit in the second. Every element with more protons than the two of Helium needs to work on shells outside the first one. one you get to ten, you have filled the first two shells.

In a water molecule, oxygen forms one covalent bond with EACH of TWO hydrogen atoms. As a result, the oxygen atom has a stable arrangement of 8 valence electrons. Each hydrogen atom forms only one bond because it needs only two electrons to be stable.

Exactly one mole of an ideal gas is contained in a 2.00 liter container at 1,000 K. What is the pressure exerted by this gas?
Kipish [7]
pV = nRT

p = nRT/V 

p= 1 x 0.08205 x 1000/ 2

p = 41.025 Pa  

Edit: The unit should be atm instead of Pa, as pointed out by a nice human being.

A sample of a vapor occupies a volume of 500 mL at 65°C. If pressure remains constant, what is the volume of the gas at standard
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

403 mL

Explanation:

First, I will assume that the mole is 1, because you are not specifing this.

Now, with the innitial data, we need to get the pressure:

T = 65+273 = 338 K

V = 500 / 1000 = 0.5 L

Now if:

PV = nRT

Then:

P = nRT/V   and V = nRT/P

Let's calculate the P:

P = 1 * 0.082 * 338 / 0.5 = 55.432 atm

The standard temperature is 0° C or 273 K so, the volume is:

V = 1 * 0.082 * 273 / 55.432

V = 0.40384 L or simply 403.84 mL
