Answer: N_2O_5

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of N = 25.92 g

Mass of O = 74.07 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of N =\frac{\text{ given mass of N}}{\text{ molar mass of N}}= \frac{25.92g}{14g/mole}=1.85moles

Moles of O =\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{74.07g}{16g/mole}=4.63moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For N = \frac{1.85}{1.85}=1

For O =\frac{4.63}{1.85}=2.5

The ratio of Fe : O= 1:2.5

Converting them into whole numbers, the ratio will be 2: 5

Hence the empirical formula is N_2O_5

Explanation! 

When given %, assume you have 100 g of the substance. Find moles, divide by lowest count. In this case you'll end up with

<span><span>25.92 g N<span>14.01 g N/mol N</span></span>=1.850 mol N</span>

<span><span>74.07 g O<span>16.00 g O/mol O</span></span>=4.629 mol O</span>

The ratio between these is <span>2.502 mol O/mol N</span>, which corresponds closely with <span><span>N2</span><span>O5</span></span>.

Phosphorus-32 is radioactive and has a half life of 14.3 days. What percentage of a sample would be left after 12.6 days
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

There is 54.29 % sample left after 12.6 days

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Half life time = 14.3 days

Time left = 12.6 days

Suppose the original amount is 100.00 grams

Step 2: Calculate the percentage left

X = 100 / 2^n

⇒ with X = The amount of sample after 12.6 days

⇒ with n = (time passed / half-life time) = (12.6/14.3)

X = 100 / 2^(12.6/14.3)

X = 54.29

There is 54.29 % sample left after 12.6 days

Pierce conducts an experiment in which waves collide in a way that the energy increases, which means that has occurred
Vikki [24]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

It means the waves collides and constructive interference occurred.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

If the two waves coming from the opposite direction collide with each other, there are two way of their interference.

  • Constructive interference: An interference which results in the increase in energy. And it is when crust of a wave comes on the crust of second wave.
  • Destructive interference: An interference which results in decrease in energy of the resulting wave and colliding waves cancel the result of each other.

Hence in experiment there will be constructive interference.

A single atom of an element has 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons. Which element is it?
scoray [572]

Answer:

Na

Explanation:

When identifying elements, you only need to look at the number of protons.  Elements can have varying numbers of electrons and neutrons, but they can only have one number of protons.

Looking at the periodic table, the elements with 11 protons is sodium (Na).

Describe porosity and how that affects groundwater infiltration.
algol13
It’s the measure of spaces between objects. It affects groundwater infiltration by having more water fill the spaces between it. For example, is you have bigger rocks the spaces between it are bigger therefore the groundwater infiltration rate is faster. If the rocks are smaller, they are tightly packed and it’s not easy for groundwater infiltration.
