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

A single serving bag of snack chips contains 65.0 Cal. Assuming that all of the energy from eating these chips goes toward keepi
AveGali [126]

Answer:

= 62.1 hours

Explanation:

Energy provide by the serving is 65 cal

= 65 cal  × 4.184 Kj = 271.96 kJ

271.96 KJ = 271960 J

Energy required for 1minute of energy

= 73 x 1

= 73 J/min

So, 271960 joules will be required for 271960 heart beat

Minutes = 271960 / 73

= 3593.94 minutes  

Time in hours = 3725.429 / 60

= 62.1 hours
