To determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the compound, we assume a basis of the compound of 100 g. We do as follows:

       Mass              Moles                     
K    52.10     52.10/39.10 = 1.33         1.33/1.32 ≈ 1
C    15.8       15.8/12         = 1.32         1.32/1.32 ≈ 1
O     32.1      32.1 / 16       =  2.01        2.01/1.32 ≈ 1.5

The empirical formula would most likely be KCO.
The molecular formula would be K2C2O3.

The correct name for the ion Fe2+ is
forsale [732]

Fe is the symbol of the metal iron. This is because the Latin name of iron is Ferrum. Iron shows more than one valency and forms Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions. Fe2+ ion is formed when an atom of iron loses 2 electrons to form a cation and Fe3+ ion is formed when an atom of iron loses 3 electrons to form a cation. For this reason, Fe2+ is known as the ferrous ion.

Therefore, the correct name for the ion Fe2+ is ferrous ion.

What is the ph of a soft drink in which the major buffer ingredients are 6.6 g of nah2po4 and 8.0 g of na2hpo4 per 355 ml of sol
Volgvan
First, we need to get the concentration of  [NaH2PO4]:
[NaH2PO4] =( mass / molar mass ) * volume L
when we have mass NaH2PO4 = 6.6 g & molar mass = 120g/mol & V = 0.355 L
So by substitution:
[NaH2PO4] = (6.6g / 120g/mol) * 0.355 L = 0.0195 M

then, we need to get the concentration of [Na2HPO4]:
[Na2HPO4]= (mass / molar mass ) * volume L
So by substitution:
[Na2HPO4] = (8g/ 142g/mol) * 0.355 L = 0.02 M

and when Pka of the 2nd ionization of phosphoric acid = 7.21 
So by substitution in the following formula, we can get the PH:

PH = Pka + ㏒[A]/[AH]

∴PH = 7.21 + ㏒[0.02]/[0.0195]
∴ PH = 7.2

An isotope of an element, atomic number Z, has a mass number 2z+4. How many neutrons are there in the nucleus of the element?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

z+4

Explanation:

An isotope of an element, atomic number Z, has a mass number 2z+4. How many neutrons are there in the nucleus of the element?o

protons + neutrons =mass number

so

z +neutrons = 2z+4

neutrons = 2z+4 - z=z+4 which is the # of neutrons in the nucle

Use the dichotomous key below to identify the cell type.
xenn [34]

The dichotomous key is not given here, however, the correct dichotomous key is as follows:

step- 1a cell has a nucleus and organelles - go to step 2

        1b cell has no nucleus or organelles - bacterial cell

step- 2a cell has a cell wall - go to step 3

         2b cell has no cell wall - animal cell

step-  3a cell has chloroplasts - plant cell

3b cell has no chloroplasts - fungal cell

Using this dichotomous key the cell can be identified as - Fungal cell.

A dichotomous key is an essential scientific tool that is used to find out the various kinds of organisms on their observable traits. Dichotomous keys have a series of statements with two different choices in each step that will take the student or user to the correct identification.

Identification of the given cell:

1. Follow step 1.

  • If cells have a nucleus and organelles - yes then go to step 2

2. follow step 2.

  • 2a. if cell has a cell wall - yes go to step 3

3. follow step 3.

  • 3a. if cell has chloroplasts - no then fungal cell

Fungal cells have a nucleus and cell organelles enclosed with a cell wall around the plasma membrane but do not have chloroplast.

Thus, Using this dichotomous key the cell can be identified as - Fungal cell.
