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

Newton's second law of motion is F = ma.
ZanzabumX [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The acceleration of the object is 2m/s^2. If net force increases, acceleration will also increase and if mass increases, the acceleration will decrease.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Force is defined as the product of object's mass and acceleration.

Mathematically,

F = ma     ......(1)

or,

a = F/m      .....(2)

where,

F = Force exerted on an object = 60N

m = mass of an object = 30kg

a = acceleration of the object = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

a = 60 kg.m/s^2/30 kg = 2m/s^2

The acceleration of the car is 2m/s^2.

From equation 2, it is visible that acceleration is directly proportional to force. This means that \if force increases, acceleration also increases.

And acceleration is inversely proportional to mass of the object. This means that if mass increases, the acceleration decreases.

Hence, if net force increases, acceleration will also increase and if mass increases, the acceleration will decrease.

Determine the bond type formed between Hg and F
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Multivalent Ionic

Explanation:

The type of bond formed between the atoms of two elements can easily be deduced from the magnitude of electronegativity difference between the two bonding atoms.

A summary of electronegativity differences and corresponding types of bonds are shown below as adapted from chemlibretexts, where Δχ is the difference in electronegativity ;

ionic if Δχ ≥ 2.0

polar if 2.0 > Δχ > 0.5

nonpolar if 0.5 > Δχ

To determine the type of bond between Hg and F. Hg has an electronegativity of 2 while F has an electronegativity of 4. the difference in electronegativity (Δχ) is 4 - 2 = 2

This corresponds to a multivalent ionic bond because mercurous ion is the  

Hg2^2+  ion and this leads to the formation of Hg2X2 (mercury I fluoride).
