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

The graph shows a relationship between volume and temperature. Which of the following statements is true?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The graph shows a directly proportional relationship between volume and temperature and represents Charles' Law.

Explanation:

The relation between volume and temperature is given by :

Ideal gas law, PV = nRT

Where

P is pressure

V is volume

R is gas constant

T is temperature

As volume and temperature have direct relationship. Charles law states that there is a direct relationship between volume and temperature. The correct option is (a).

Select the correct answer.
vichka [17]

Variations in the solar resource are probably the first and main consideration. You can use local weather stations where available, otherwise satellite data (eg from NASA's website) or commercial databases such as Meteonorm. Also there is quite a comprehensive set of data files in the SAM software

Other important considerations are

local environment: plants and animals that could be affected by the system; community support and buy-in.wind, hail, rain, snow profile for the location in question. if there are high/tropical winds then it will increase the plant cost.flight paths and roads near the plant which could be affected by glint and glareproximity to a local town where staff will be able to live both during construction and later during operationproximity to a electricity transmission line with available capacityavailability of water for mirror cleaning and steam blowdown.cost (and availability) of electricity in the area. If remote, electricity/energy may be very expensive, which will enable a high price for electricity sold from the plant.quality of road to the plant, required to bring equipment and materials to sitepolitical stability of the region -- potential impact on perceived bankability of the project.

Many of these items will have a large influence on the cost of the plant and/or the revenue it will generate during its life. Others relate to environmental and risk factors and are also critically important to consider.

Hope this helps!!

What is the mass of 3.6 x 1024 atoms of Zinc (Zn)?
AlladinOne [14]
Answer is: mass od zinc is 392,28 g.
N(Zn) = 3,6·10²⁴.
n(Zn) = N(Zn) ÷ Na.
n(Zn) =  3,6·10²⁴ ÷ 6·10²³ 1/mol.
n(Zn) = 6 mol.
m(Zn) = n(Zn) · M(Zn).
m(Zn) = 6 mol · 65,38 g/mol.
m(Zn) = 392,28 g.
Na - Avogadro number.
n - amount of substance.
M - molar mass.

Which process is an example of a physical change?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The answer is flattening

Explanation:

A physical change is generally something that affects the shape of form of the matter and a chemical change results from a chemical reaction. Flames are caused by chemical reactions, as is rust, and the process of a fruit becoming ripe. Thus, the answer is “flattening”.
