A compound is a substance that consists of 2 or more elements chemically combined in a fixed proportion.
Compounds can be broken down ijt0 simple substances by chemical means but, elements cannot.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
this should be obvious if you read it haha
Data: molar mass 470 g/mol
Percent composition:
Hg = 85.0%
Cl = 15.0%
Solution:
1) Convert % to molar ratios
A. Base: 100 g
=> Hg = 85.0 g / 200.59 g/mol = 0.4235 mol
Cl = 15.0 g / 35.45 g/mol = 0.4231 mol
B. divide by the higher number and round to whole number
Hg = 0.4325 / 0.4231 = 1.00
Cl = 0.4231 / 0.4231 = 1.00
=> Empirical formula = Hg Cl
2) Find the mass of the empirical formula:
HgCl: 200.59 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 236.04
3) Determine how many times is the empirical mass contained in the molecular mass:
470 g/mol / 236.04 = 1.99 ≈ 2
=> Molecular formula = Hg2 Cl2.
Answers:
Empirical formula HgCl
Molecular Formula Hg2Cl2
Answer:
1.B
2.A
3. B
Explanation:
1. A chemical bond is the physical phenomenon of chemical substances being held together by attraction of atoms to each other through sharing
2. so 2 is electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom.meaning the answer is A
3. is When atoms combine by forming covalent bonds, the resulting collection of atoms is called a molecule. We can therefore say that a molecule is the simplest unit of a covalent compound.
I’m pretty sure that they mostly design building structures!
