Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is CuI

Explanation : Given,

Mass of Cu= 19.45 g

Mass of metal iodide = 58.30 g

Now we have to calculate the mass of iodide.

Mass of I = Mass of metal iodide - Mass of Cu

Mass of I = 58.30 - 19.45

Mass of I = 38.85 g

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

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Cu =\frac{\text{Given mass of Cu}}{\text{Molar mass of Cu}}=\frac{19.45g}{63.54g/mole}=0.306moles

Moles of I = \frac{\text{Given mass of I}}{\text{Molar mass of I}}=\frac{38.85g}{126.9g/mole}=0.306moles

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 0.0306 moles.

For Cu = \frac{0.306}{0.306}=1

For I = \frac{0.306}{0.306}=1

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Cu : I = 1 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is Cu_1I_1=CuI

A weighed piece of magnesium ribbon is added to a dried crucible, which is reweighed and heated in air to form the compound MgO.
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

One of the errors for low percentage of magnesium could be because not all the magnesium may have reacted.

Explanation:

During the heating process, if the magnesium have not reacted completely, it can lead to low percentage of magnesium in the oxide formed. The product may still look a bit greyish rather than whitish after the heating process.

Does the temperature of the solvent (water) affect the rate of dissolving?​
gregori [183]
Yes. Heating up the solvent gives the molecules more kinetic energy. The more rapid motion means that the solvent molecules collide with the solute with greater frequency and the collisions occur with more force. Both factors increase the rate at which the solute dissolves.

What is the job of these macromolecules ​
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

<u>When small organic molecules bind together, they form larger molecules called biological macromolecules.</u>Biological macromolecules are important cellular components and perform a wide array of functions necessary for the survival and growth of living organisms. The four major classes of biological macromolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Describe how experimental evidence led each of the following scientists: Dalton, Rutherford, Thompson, Chadwick and Bohr, to dev
nasty-shy [4]
Dalton Found out there was a small, hard indestructible sphere that is the smalles part of an element.He created his own Atomic Theory:
-All Matter is made up of small particles called atoms.
-Atoms cannot be created, destroyed, or divided into smaller particles.
-All atoms of the same element are identical in mass and size. The atoms of one element are different in mass and size from the atoms of other elements.
<span>-Compounds are created when atoms of different elements link together in definite proportions.
</span><span>Rutherford had found the positively charged nucleus in the middle of every atom using his Gold Foil Experiment. While doing this experiment, he expected these particles to just pass right through the foil but they bounced right back. He also proposed there were negatively charged electrons revolving around the nucleus.
</span><span>Thompson found negative electrons and inferred atoms also contain negative particles. He inferred there was a lump of positively charged material, with negative electrons throughout. He used the Raisins Bun Model to explain. 
</span>Chadwick <span>proved that it consisted of a neutral particle with about the same mass as a proton "Neutron"  is the name given to the particle</span>
Bohr 
believed Rutherford's prediction was correct, but it wasn't complete. Bohr proposed electrons could only move between energy levels, rather then being able to move everywhere.

How many molecules are in 5.60 L of oxygen gas
topjm [15]
5.6L of O2 means we have 0.25 moles of O2.
As, 1 mole has 6.023*10^23 molecules,
0.25 moles of O2 will have 0.25*6.023*10^23 molecules=1.50575*10^23 molecules
and as 1 molecule of O2 has 2 atoms, so, 1.50575*10^23 molecules will have 2*1.50575*10^23 atoms=3.0115*10^23 atoms of O.
