Answer:

HfCl3

Explanation:

Step 1

Divide the percent by mass of each element by its relative atomic mass

Hf- 62.2/178.5, Cl-37.4/35.5

0.348, 1.054

Step2

Divide through by the lowest ratio

0.348/0.348, 1.054/0.348

1, 3

Therefore the empirical formula is HfCl3

How many atoms are in 5.2 moles of Na ?
Nastasia [14]

One mole of a substance is defined by Avogadro as consisting of 6.022 x 1023 atoms. This is Avogadro's number. To calculate the number of atoms in two moles of sodium, use dimensional analysis. 2.0 moles Na x 6.022⋅1023g1mol=1.20⋅1024 atoms of Na

A student is shown a simple model of particles that make up a liquid,as shown.
trapecia [35]
Answer:
            Option-D : <span>Decrease the velocities of the particles, and decrease the space between the particles.

Explanation:
                     The solid state of matter is composed of particles closely packed with a minimum space between them. This closed packing of particles occur due to strong interatomic or intermolecular interactions between particles. Therefore, solids particles have zero translational and rotational motions and only show vibrational motions. So, decrease in velocity and decrease in space between particles is the right answer for making solids.</span>
