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

Which of the two substances would have a higher melting point: O2 or quartz (SiO2)n? Explain your answer.
sesenic [268]

Answer:

quartz (SiO2)n

Explanation:

Melting point is defined as the temperature or point at which the substances change its state from solid to liquid.

Quartz (SiO2)n has high melting point than O2 because Quartz (SiO2)n is found in the form of hard, crystalline mineral that is made up of silicon and oxygen atoms having strong covalent bonds between all the atoms. So, a lot of energy is required to break the bond between the atoms and it has a high melting point.

Hence, the correct answer is quartz (SiO2)n.

C5H6 reacts with itself to form C10H12 according to the following process
swat32
When carbon compounds react with themselves to form a larger molecule the process is called polymerization. Specifically addition polymerization. sometimes molecules containing containing carbon to carbon double bonds can join together to form longer chains. The double bond is broken and the electrons in it join to neighboring molecules.

A gas is in a sealed container. How do you think the pressure will change if the container is cooled. explain your answer​
Semenov [28]

Answer:

If the container is cooled, the gas inside likewise gets colder and its pressure is observed to decrease.

Explanation:

Since the container is rigid and tightly sealed, both the volume and number of moles of gas remain constant. If we heat the sphere, the gas inside gets hotter and the pressure increases.
