What is the empirical formula of a compound that contains 6.10 g of hydrogen and 28 g of nitrogen?

Chemistry

Answer:

NH₃

Explanation:

mass H = 6.10 grams

mass N = 28.00 grams

mass cpd = (6.10 + 28.00)grams = 34.10 grams

%H/100wt = (6.10/34.10)100% = 17.9% w/w

%N/100wt = (28.00/34.1)100% = 82.1% w/w

%/100wt => grams/100wt => moles => ratio => reduce => emp ratio

%H/100wt = 17.9% w/w => 17.9g => (17.9/1)moles = 17.9 moles H

%N/100wt = 82.1% w/w => 82.1g => (82.1/14)moles = 5.9 moles N

Ratio N:H => 17.9 : 5.9

Reduce mole ratio (divide by smaller mole value) => 17.9/5.9 : 5.9/5.9

=> 3HY:1H empirical ratio => empirical formula NH₃ (ammonia)

What did Thomas Young, Max planck and Albert Einstein contribute towards the nature of light?
Lera25 [3.4K]

The contribution to the nature of light-

Thomas Young - wave nature of light (double-slit experiment)

Max Planck - E = hv

Albert Einstein - a quantum theory of light

Thomas Young proposed the most important double-slit experiment which shows that light acts like a wave and shows the pattern of interferences.

Max Planck proposed that light is proportional to frequency. He gave the equation, E = hv, where E is the energy of light, h is Planck's constant, and v is the frequency.

Albert Einstein proposed the quantum theory of light. He determined that light exists in discrete quanta of energy called photons.

If a chemical reaction occurs in a direction that has a positive change in entropy thenGroup of answer choicesthe change in enth
mezya [45]

Answer:

The reaction must be spontaneous, the disorder of the system increases.

Explanation:

By the Second Law of Thermodynamics, a positive change in entropy is due to a net input heat, and entropy is a measure of the grade of disorder within the system. The net input heat means that resultant goes to the system from the surroundings.

By the First Law of Thermodynamics, a net input heat is due to a positive change in enthalpy.

The reaction is endothermic and spontaneous (since change in entropy is positive).
