Answer:

NO_{1.499}

Explanation:

Let assume that 100 kg of the compound is tested. The quantity of kilomoles for each element are, respectively:

n_{N} = \frac{36.86\,kg}{14.006\,\frac{kg}{kmol} }

n_{N} = 2.632\,kmol

n_{O} = \frac{63.14\,kg}{15.999\,\frac{kg}{kmol} }

n_{O} = 3.946\,kmol

Ratio of kilomoles oxygen to kilomole nitrogen is:

n^{*} = \frac{3.946\,kmol}{2.632\,kmol}

n^{*}= 1.499

It means that exists 1.499 kilomole oxygen for each kilomole nitrogen.

The empirical formula for the compound is:

NO_{1.499}

Answer:

N₂O₃

Explanation:

Empirical Formula: The Empirical formula of a compound is the smallest formula of that compound that tells us the component element in the molecule of that compound and the ratio in which these elements are combined together.

From the question,

Given: N = 36.86 %, 0 = 63.14 %

Step 1: divide by their relative atomic mass.

N                 :              O

36.86/14                   63.14/16

2.633           :              3.946

Step 2: Divide by the smallest

N                       :          O

2.633/2.633                3.946/2.633

1                       :            1.5

1                       :           3/2

2                       :            3

Hence the empirical formula = N₂O₃

Write a simple rule that will tell a person how many water molecule will be lost while putting monosaccharides together to form
belka [17]
<span>For hydrolysis to monosaccharides, one molecule of a disaccharide needs only one molecule of water. C12H22O11 (sucrose) + H2O = C6H12O6 (glucose) + C6H12O6 (fructose) Structurally, a disaccharide molecule may be viewed as a product formed by the condensation of two molecules of monosaccharides with the elimination of a water molecule. So, only one H2O molecule is needed for the reverse process.</span>

a 1500 kg car traveling at 15 m/s to the south collides with a 4500 kg truck that is intially at rest at a spotlight. The car an
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

3.75 m/s south

Explanation:

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Since the car and truck stick together, v₁ = v₂.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v

Given m₁ = 1500 kg, u₁ = -15 m/s, m₂ = 4500 kg, and u₂ = 0 m/s:

(1500 kg) (-15 m/s) + (4500 kg) (0 m/s) = (1500 kg + 4500 kg) v

-22500 kg m/s = 6000 kg v

v = -3.75 m/s

The final velocity is 3.75 m/s to the south.

Two fat black arrows are swimming along together, when they see a single skinny black arrow coming toward them. They are afraid of strangers, and they know that the skinny one must be mean and tough if it's not afraid to travel alone. So they turn to the side and get out of the skinny arrow's way.

A bar magnet is dropped toward a conducting ring lying on the floor. As the magnet falls toward the ring, does it move as a free
REY [17]

Explanation:

According to the Faraday-Lenz law, a conductive ring generates an induced current due to the change in the magnetic flux caused by the motion of the bar magnet. This induced current generates a magnetic field opposite to the magnetic field of the bar, generating an upward force that opposes the weight of the bar magnet, Therefore, it does not move as a freely  falling object.
