<u>Answer:</u> The empirical formula for the given compound is H_{4}O_1N_1Cl_1=H_4NOCl

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Percentage of H = 5.80 %

Percentage of O = 23.02 %

Percentage of N = 20.16 %

Percentage of Cl = 51.02 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of H = 5.80 g

Mass of O = 23.02 g

Mass of N = 20.16 g

Mass of Cl = 51.02 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{5.80g}{1g/mole}=5.80moles

Moles of Oxygen = \frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{23.02g}{16g/mole}=1.44moles

Moles of Nitrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{20.16g}{14g/mole}=1.44moles

Moles of Chlorine = \frac{\text{Given mass of Chlorine}}{\text{Molar mass of Chlorine}}=\frac{51.02g}{35.5g/mole}=1.44moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 1.44 moles.

For Hydrogen = \frac{5.80}{1.44}=4.03\approx 4

For Oxygen = \frac{1.44}{1.44}=1

For Nitrogen = \frac{1.44}{1.44}=1

For Chlorine = \frac{1.44}{1.44}=1

  • <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of H : O : N : Cl = 4 : 1 : 1 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is H_{4}O_1N_1Cl_1=H_4NOCl

Which of the following describes a use of thermal energy? * A heater warming a room A flashlight shining on a wall A football fl
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

A heater warming a room

Explanation:

The reason is that thermal energy is heat. The first option is the only one that has heat in it. A flashlight shining in a wall shows light energy. A football flying through the air shows potential energy to kinetic energy. A radio playing a song shows sound energy. The only answer that shows thermal energy is the first one.  I hope I was able to help! :)

Answer:

1) The cryosphere contains the frozen parts of the planet. This sphere helps maintain Earth's climate by reflecting incoming solar radiation back into space. As the world warms due to increasing greenhouse gases being added to the atmosphere by humans, the snow and ice are melting.

2) Organisms like the Frilled Shark, Giant Spider Crab. Atlantic Wolffish Pair, Fangtooth Fish, Six-Gill Shark, Giant Tube Worms, Vampire Squid, Pacific Viperfish. But there are most likely archaeabacteria which are prokaryotic bacteria or single-celled organisms. A Prokaryotic cell does not contain a nucleus. It only contains one chromosome and is a single-celled organism. It was the only form of life on earth for millions of years. Examples of a Prokaryotic cell are the different types of bacteria present today.

3) Many different types of plant and animal communities call estuaries home because their waters are typically brackish — a mixture of fresh water draining from the land and salty seawater. This unique combination of salty and fresh water creates a variety of habitats. Estuaries are full of decaying plants and animals. This makes the soil of estuaries rich in nutrients. Because the soil is so rich, lots of different plants grow in estuaries. The plants attract lots of different animals to the estuary and those animals attract other animals to the estuary.

4) Temperature, humidity, precipitation, air pressure, wind speed, and wind direction are key observations of the atmosphere that help forecasters predict the weather. These same factors have been used since the first weather observations were recorded. Observational data collected by doppler radar, radiosondes, weather satellites, buoys and other instruments are fed into computerized NWS numerical forecast models. The models use equations, along with new and past weather data, to provide forecast guidance to our meteorologists. The three main factors of weather are light (solar radiation), water (moisture) and temperature.
