What is the molecular formula of a compound if its emprical formula is NO2 and its molar mass is 138.02 g/mole

Chemistry

Answer:

N₃O₆  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

EF = NO₂

MM = 138.02 g/mol

Calculations:

EF Mass = (14.01 + 32.00) u

EF Mass = 46.01 u

The molecular formula is an integral multiple of the empirical formula.

MF = (EF)ₙ

  n = MF Mass/EF Mass  

  n = 138.02 u/46.01 u  

  n = 3.000 ≈3

MF = (NO₂)₃

MF = N₃O₆

"A crosslinked copolymer consists of 57 wt% ethylene (C2H4) repeat units and 43 wt% propylene (C3H6) repeat units. Determine the
ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

Percentage ethylene by weight = 57%

Percentage propylene by weight = 43%

Suppose in 100 grams of polymer:

Mass of ethylene = 57 g

Mass of propylene = 43 g

Moles of ethylene = \frac{57 g}{28 g/mol}=2.036 mol

Moles of propylene = \frac{43g}{42g/mol}=1.024 mol

1 mole = N_A =6.022\times 10^{23} molecules/ atoms

Units of ethylene = 2.036 mol\times N_A

Units of propylene = 1.024 mol\times N_A

a) Fraction of ethylene units:

=\frac{2.036 mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{509}{765}

b ) Fraction of propylene units:

=\frac{1.024mol\times N_A}{2.306 mol\times N_A+1.024 mol\times N_A}=\frac{256}{765}

EXTRA CREDIT. The rate at which an object moves is its speed. If a horse
Irina18 [472]
Average speed is total distance divided by total time.

Total distance is 50 m + 150 m + 300 m = 500 m
Total time is 68 s + 35 s + 22 s = 125 s

Average speed is 500 m / 125 s = 4 m/s

How do you expect the size of the atoms to change as you go from neon to argon to krypton
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The number of energy levels will increase.

Explanation:

As they are all Noble Gases, they are all in the same family. However, as you go further down the list of Noble Gases, the period number increases. The period number shows the number of energy levels. Hence, an increase in energy levels.
