Answer: 2. NO_2

Explanation:

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

a) If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of N = 30.4 g

Mass of O= 69.6 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles

Moles of N=\frac{\text{ given mass of N}}{\text{ molar mass of N}}= \frac{30.4g}{14g/mole}=2.2moles

Moles of O=\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{69.6g}{16g/mole}=4.4moles

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

For N = \frac{2.2}{2.2}=1

For O =\frac{4.4}{2.2}=2

The ratio of N: O = 1; 2

Hence the empirical formula is NO_2

As you move from left to right across a period, what happens to the atomic radil?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Moving Across a Period

Moving from left to right across a period, the atomic radius decreases. The nucleus of the atom gains protons moving from left to right, increasing the positive charge of the nucleus and increasing the attractive force of the nucleus upon the electrons

For the galvanic (voltaic) cell Fe(s) + Mn2+(aq) → Fe2+(aq) + Mn(s) (E°= 0.77 V at 25°C), what is [Fe2+] if [Mn2+] = 0.040 M and
avanturin [10]

Answer:

0.01836 M

Explanation:

Again the reaction equation is;

Fe(s) + Mn2+(aq) → Fe2+(aq) + Mn(s)

E°cell= 0.77 V

Ecell= 0.78 V

[Mn2+] = 0.040 M

[Fe2+] = the unknown

n=2

From Nernst's equation;

Ecell= E°cell- 0.0592/n log Q

0.78= 0.77 - 0.0592/2 log [Fe2+] /[0.040]

0.78-0.77= - 0.0592/2 log [Fe2+] /[0.040]

0.01/ -0.0296= log [Fe2+] /[0.040]

-0.3378= log [Fe2+] /[0.040]

Antilog(-0.3378) = [Fe2+] /[0.040]

0.459= [Fe2+] /[0.040]

[Fe2+] = 0.459 × 0.040

[Fe2+] = 0.01836 M

2. To what volume will you have to dilute 20.0 ml of a 8 M HCl solution to make a 0.35 M
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

You need to dilute 8 M HCl to 0.35 M to make 457 mL.

Explanation:

Use the equation M₁V₁=M₂V₂

Convert the mL to L : 20 mL= 0.02 L

8 M x 0.02 L = 0.35 M x V₂

V₂ = 0.4571429 L = 457 mL
