Answer: The empirical formula is $PbO_2$

Explanation:

Mass of Pb = 4.33 g

Mass of O = (5.00-4.33) g = 0.67 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles

Moles of Pb = $\frac{\text{ given mass of Pb}}{\text{ molar mass of Pb}}= \frac{4.33g}{207g/mole}=0.021moles$

Moles of O = $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{0.67g}{16g/mole}=0.042moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Pb = $\frac{0.021}{0.021}=1$

For O = $\frac{0.042}{0.021}=2$

The ratio of Pb O= 1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is $PbO_2$

An astronomer is a guest speaker at your school. She states that iron is the very last product in stellar fusion. Why would she

Zarrin [17]

Iron is the very last product in stellar fusion is that; Iron has a tightly bound nucleus, and atoms larger than iron are less stable and tend to undergo nuclear fission.

The stability of an atom is dependent on the binding energy per nucleon of the atom.

The binding energy per nucleon of elements increases steadily until iron, we can see that from the curve very easily.

Beyond iron, we have exceeded the region of stable binding energy per nucleon of atoms. The atoms after iron in the curve are mostly unstable heavy nuclei.

For the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g), what will happen if hydrogen gas was removed from the reaction mixture? There will be a

Hoochie [10]

This uses something called Le Chatelier's principle. It states essentially that any stress put upon a system will be corrected.

In more simple terms, it means that in an equilibrium, such as the equation N2(g) + 3H2(g) <=> 2NH3(g), removing a reactant will cause the system to create more of said reactant to compensate for its loss, or adding excess reactant will cause the system to remove some of the added reactant. For future reference, the same principle applies to products in an equilibrium as well.

In this case, hydrogen gas is a reactant, and hydrogen is being removed. According to Le Chatelier's principle, the system will shift to create more hydrogen gas. In essence, it will shift in the direction of the hydrogen gas, so there will be a shift toward the reactants.

To clear something up, Keq will not change, as it is a constant value with constant conditions (such as temperature, pressure, etc.).

Explain why you get a basic solution when you dissolve NaF in water.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

That's because in water NaF will dissolve to produce Na+,the conjugate base of a strong acid which will not react with water.however F- will behave like a bronsted base, and accept a proton from water.this is called hydrolysis reaction, because a molecule of water is broken up.

a conjugate base is what I leftover after an acid loses a hydrogen ion.

I hope this helps
