Answer:

The answer to your question is     AgCl

Explanation:

Data

Silver = Ag = 75%

Chlorine = Cl = 25%

1.- Convert percent numbers to grams

Silver = 75 g

Chlorine = 25 g

2.- Calculate the moles of each element

Mass number Ag = 108 g

Mass number Cl = 35.5 g

                            108 g of Ag ------------------  1 mol

                              75 g of Ag ------------------   x

                                x = (75 x 1) / 108

                                x = 75 / 108

                                x = 0.69 moles

                            35.5 g of Cl ------------------ 1 mol

                             25 g of Cl    -----------------   x

                                    x = (25 x 1) / 35.5

                                    x = 0.70 moles

3.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

Ag = 0.69/0.69 = 1

Cl = 0.70 / 0.69 = 1.02 ≈ 1

4.- Write the empirical formula

                                                 Ag₁ Cl₁  = AgCl

lora16 [44]

Answer: Please see answer below

Explanation:

Mecury vapor lamp is better to use than Sodium vapor light, this is because  because

---The Filaments of the lamp in sodium  emit fast moving electrons, which causes valence electrons of the sodium atoms to excite to higher energy levels which when electrons after being excited, relax by emitting yellow light which concentrates on the the  monochromatic bright yellow part of the visible spectrum which is about  580-590 or about (589nm) which will fall incident on the calibrations making it difficult to see

While

In Mercury vapor lamp, The emitted  electrons from the filaments, after having been excited  by high voltage, hit the mercury atoms but the excited electrons of mercury atoms relax and emits an  ultraviolet  uv invisible lights falling on the mecury vapour lamp to produce white light  covering  a wide range of  (380-780 nm) which is visible that is why it is used for calibrations purposes in  lightening applications.

Element X has the following valence electron configuration: [core]ns2np5. Element M has the following valence electron configura
alex41 [277]

Answer:

The kind of ionic compound formed is MX2.

Explanation:

Element X electron  configuration is represented as [core] ns2np5. The group in the periodic table this element belong to is group 7A.  The element group is called the halogen family. Element X cannot be stated specifically, because the number is represented with n.  Element X will behave as an anions when it react with a metal(cations). Element X has a charge of -1. The element X will gain electron when it bond with a metal. Element X is a non metal . Elements  in this group are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine , astatine, and tennessine . The element X have 7 valency electrons.

Element M electronic configuration is represented as  [core]ns2. The group in the periodic table this element belong to is group 2A . The element  group is called the alkaline earth metals family . Element M will behave as a cation when it bond with a non metal. Element M is a metal , therefore it will likely lose electron to form cations during bonding . The charge of element M is 2+. Element M is positively charged. Elements that belong to this group includes beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium.  Element M has 2 valency electrons.

The reaction between this 2 ions will likely form an ionic compound . The element M is the cations while the element X is the anions. The element M will lose 2 electron while 2 atoms of element  X will gain 2 electrons.Element M will lose 2 electron to attain a stable configuration while 2 atoms of element X will gain a single electron each to attain a stable configuration.

M²+ and F- . This will form MX2 when you cross multiply the charge. The kind of ionic compound formed is MX2.

Indicate which reaction will occur faster. explain your reasoning. select the single best answer. solvolysis of 1−chloro−2,2−dim
Radda [10]
The tert-butyl chloride in ethanol would surely react faster than the solvolysis of 1-chloro-2,2-dimethyl propane. It is known that both reactions are under the SN2 category so it would be hard for these reactions to occur. However, SN1 reactions are possible because of the ethanol which is a polar solvent. Both would form carbocations but tert-butyl chloride forms a more stable carbocation while the 1-chloro-2,2-dimethyl propane forms a primary carbocation only.

4. What is the difference between an open system and a<br> closed system?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Systems can exist in three ways as open systems, closed systems, and isolated systems. The main difference between open and closed system is that in an open system, matter can be exchanged with the surrounding whereas, in a closed system, matter cannot be exchanged with the surrounding.

btw why not just look it up on google? btw btw brainliest plz
