Veronika [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Empirical formula = NO₂

Molecular formula = N₂O₄

Explanation:

Percentage mass of Nitrogen = 30.4 %

Percentage mass of Oxygen = 60.9 %

Mole ratio of the elements:

Nitrogen = 30.4/14 = 2.17

Oxygen = 69.9/16 = 4.37

Dividing by the smallest ratio to obtain a simple ratio

Nitrogen: 2.17/2.17 = 1

Oxygen; 4.37/2.17 = 2

Therefore, the simplest mole ratio is 1:2

Empirical formula = NO₂

Molecular formula = n(empirical formula), therefore, molecular mass = n *(empirical mass)

92.010 = n(14 + 32)

92.010 = 46n

n = 92.010/46

n = 2

Therefore, molecular formula = 2(NO₂)

Molecular formula = N₂O₄

What is the key difference that causes the atoms of one element to differ from the atoms of the other elements? A the number of
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

B = the number of protons

Explanation:

The atom of every elements differ from each other because of number of protons they have.

Every atom consist of neutron, proton and electron. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron.

The number of neutrons may be same but every atom have different number of protons.

Neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P+  

Symbol of neutron= n0  

Mass of proton=1.672623×10-27 Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10-27 Kg

You drop a rock weighing 23.2 g into a graduated cylinder that contains 55 mL. The level
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

<h2>3.31 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 23.2 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 62 - 55 = 7 mL

We have

density =  \frac{23.2}{7}  \\  = 3.314285

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.31 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Wine goes bad soon after opening because the ethanol (CH,CH,OH) in it reacts with oxygen gas (0.) from the air to form water (11
daser333 [38]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of water produced is 1.8 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

Given mass of ethanol = 4.59 g

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of ethanol}=\frac{4.59g}{46.07g/mol}=0.0996mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of ethanol with oxygen gas follows:

CH_3CH_2OH+O_2\rightarrow CH_3COOH+H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction;

1 mole of ethanol produces 1 mole of water.

So, 0.0996 moles of ethanol will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0996=0.0996mol of water.

Now, calculating the mass of water from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 0.0996 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.0996mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(0.0996mol\times 18g/mol)=1.8g

Hence, the mass of water produced is 1.8 grams
