Because it can be balanced in an infinite number of ways so it would need to be rewritten in a simpler form.

A compound is found to contain 73.23% xenon name 26.77% oxygen by mass. What is the empirical formula for this compound ?

Luba_88 [7]

The empirical formula is XeO₃.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Assume 100 g of the compound is present. This changes the percents to grams:

Given mass in g:

Xenon = 73.23 g

Oxygen = 26.77 g

We have to convert it to moles.

Xe = 73.23/ 131.293 = 0.56 moles

O = 26.77/ 16 = 1.67 moles

Divide by the lowest value, seeking the smallest whole-number ratio:

Xe = 0.56/ 0.56 = 1

O = 1.67/ 0.56 = 2.9 ≈3

So the empirical formula is XeO₃.

Please help!! Having trouble with this

Gnoma [55]

For #4 first find the molar mass(M) of copper then use that and the mass (m) n=m/M to find moles(n) using moles and the volumes find the concentration using c=n/V

Salt is poured from a container at 10 cm³ s-¹ and it formed a conical pile whose height at any time is 1/5 the radius of the abo

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{1}{10 \pi}$

Explanation:

Volume of a cone:

$\displaystyle V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h$

We have $\displaystyle \frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{10 \ cm^3}{sec}$ and we want to find $\displaystyle \frac{dh}{dt} \Biggr | _{h\ =\ 6}= \ ?$ when the height is 2 cm.
