Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is NO_2

Explanation : Given,

Mass of O = 0.370 g

Mass of N = 0.130 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Oxygen = \frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.370g}{16g/mole}=0.0231moles

Moles of Nitrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{0.130g}{14g/mole}=0.00928moles

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.00928 moles.

For Oxygen  = \frac{0.0231}{0.00928}=2.4\approx 2

For Nitrogen = \frac{0.00928}{0.00928}=1

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of O : N = 2 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is NO_2

<h2>Nucleosynthesis.</h2>

Explanation:

A. the Big Bang occurred; the Big Crunch occurred

Nucleosynthesis is the process by which new atomic nucleus are formed from pre-existing protons and neutrons.

According to cosmic theories, the nucleosythesis began one minute after the occurrence of Big bang and will end with the big Crunch.

The Big bang theory describes all the processes by which the universe came into existence while the big crunch theory explains how universe will come to an end.  A

In the titration between potassium iodate and the sodium thiosulfate solution, if the titration is not performed immediately aft
N76 [4]

Answer:

The calculated concentration of sodium thiosulphate solution will be less than the actual value.

Explanation:

When IO3^2- solution is added to KI solution, I2 gas is released ,then sulphuric acid is now added to facilitate reduction. In order to prevent the escape of iodine (I2) gas ,the solution must immediately be titrated with thiosulphate.

If the solution is not immediately titrated with thiosulphate, the concentration of iodine available in the system decreases. When this occurs, it will also cause a decrease in the amount of iodine available to react with thiosulphate thus decreasing the concentration of thiosulphate obtained from calculation
