Answer:

Tin (IV) chloride (SnCl4)...Methane(CH4)

Explanation:

all the dipole moments of the bonds tend to cancel each other out...hence leaving the substance non-polar

Empirical formula of a compound composed of 32.1 g potassium (k) and 6.57 g oxygen (o)?

tester [92]

The empirical formula is K₂O.

The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles.

So, our job is to calculate the molar ratio of K to O.

Step 1. Calculate the moles of each element

Moles of K = 32.1 g K × (1 mol K/(39.10 g K =) = 0.8210 mol K

Moles of O = 6.57 g O × (1 mol O/16.00 g O) = 0.4106 mol 0

Step 2. Calculate the molar ratio of each element

Divide each number by the smallest number of moles and round off to an integer

K:O = 0.8210:0.4106 = 1.999:1 ≈ 2:1

Step 3: Write the empirical formula

EF = K₂O

Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope that decays according to first-order kinetics in a process that has a half-life of 5730 years

Sliva [168]

Answer : The time passed in years is $2.83\times 10^3\text{ years}$

Explanation :

Half-life = 5730 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac{0.693}{5730\text{ years}}$

$k=1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}$

t = time passed by the sample = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant = X g

a - x = amount left after decay process = $71\% \times (x)=\frac{71}{100}\times (X)=0.71Xg$

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

$t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{X}{0.71X}$

$t=2831.00\text{ years}=2.83\times 10^3\text{ years}$

Therefore, the time passed in years is $2.83\times 10^3\text{ years}$

1- What do greenhouse gases do in our atmosphere? a. They absorb radiation given off by the Earth b They block harmful radiation

zavuch27 [327]

Answer: A. They absorb radiation given off by the earth.

Explanation: Green house gases are gases that have the capability of trapping the heat energy from the sun in our environment. These special attribute of these gases is what keeps our environment warm and sustain life as we know it. Example of Green House Gases include: carbon dioxide, water vapour and methane.

Consider successive ionizations of the element Ca. Which ionization would you expect have the largest increase relative to the p

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

B) 3rd

Explanation:

The 3rd ionization energy represents the removal of electrons from a filled core shell.

The electron configuration of calcium is [Ar]4s^2. Hence after the removal of the second electron from the 4s^2 orbital, a lot of energy is required to remove an electron from the next completely filled core shell. This is the highest successive jump in ionization energy. The other options in the question deal with electrons found on the same shell.
