step  one 
calculate  the  %  of  oxygen
from  avogadro  constant
1moles =  6.02  x  10  ^23  atoms
what  about    4.33  x10^22  atoms
= ( 4.33  x  10^ 22 x 1 mole )  /  6.02  10^23=   0.0719 moles
mass=  0.0719  x16=  1.1504   g
% composition   is therefore= ( 1.1504/3.25)  x100 = 35.40%
 step  two
calculate the  %  composition  of  chrorine
100-  (25.42  +  35.40)=39.18%

step  3
calculate the  moles   of  each  element
that   is  
Na  =  25.42  /23=1.1052  moles
Cl=  39.18  /35.5=1.1037moles
O=  35.40/16=  2.2125   moles
step  4
find  the  mole  ratio  by  dividing  each  mole  by  1.1037  moles
that  is
Na  =  1.1052/1.1037=1.001
Cl= 1.1037/1.1037=  1
0=2.2125 = 2
therefore  the  empirical  formula= NaClO2

What will happen to a lighted candle that is covered by a glass jar.
Troyanec [42]
A lit candle needs to draw oxygen from the air in order to continue burning. ... Thus, oxygen inside the glass jar will decrease and it gets filled with carbon dioxide, and eventually the candle's flame will Extinguish.

Use the chart to determine which type of bond is formed between potassium (K) and chlorine (Cl).
iris [78.8K]
Potassium and Chloride forms an ionic bond.
(K+) + (Cl-) = KCl

Potassium is under Group IA (Alkali Metal), wherein elements under this group can easily lose electrons.

Chlorine is under Group VII (Halogens), in which these elements can gain electrons easily.

The inner shell electrons on potassium will merge with the outer shell of electrons of chlorine to make potassium chloride.

On the atomic level energy and matter exhibit the characteristics of
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

  • <em>On the atomic level, energy and matter exhibit the characteristics of </em><u>both waves and particles.</u>

Explanation:

The dual behavior of subatomic particles as waves and particles is known as the wave - particle duality.

And this principle is the basis of the quantum theory.

Such principle is widely applied to the electrons; i.e., the electrons posses wave and particle propeties, which must be understodd as that some of their properties may be explained as if they were particles and others as if they were waves.

For example, from the particle point of view electrons have mass. You can find in internet that the mass of one electron is about 9.1093837015×10⁻³¹ kg or about 1/1836 times the mass of one proton.)

Since, the point of view of the wave characteristics, electrons have wavelength, Louis de Broglie deduced the equation that relates the wavelength and the mass, through this realtion:

  • Wavelength (λ) =  Planck’s constant (h) divided by the product of the mass (m) and the the speed (v) of the particle.

         λ = h / mv
