Answer:
HNO₃
Explanation:
Data given
Nitrogen = 9.8 g
Hydrogen = 0.70 g
Oxygen = 33.6 g
Empirical formula = ?
Solution:
Convert the masses to moles
For Nitrogen
Molar mass of N = 14 g/mol
no. of mole = mass in g / molar mass
Put value in above formula
no. of mole = 9.8 g/ 14 g/mol
no. of mole = 0.7
mole of N = 0.7 mol
For Hydrogen
Molar mass of H = 1 g/mol
no. of mole = mass in g / molar mass
Put value in above formula
no. of mole = 0.70 g/ 1 g/mol
no. of mole = 0.7
mole of H = 0.7 mol
For Oxygen
Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol
no. of mole = mass in g / molar mass
Put value in above formula
no. of mole = 33.6 g / 16 g/mol
no. of mole = 2.1
mole of O = 2.1 mol
Now we have values in moles as below
N = 0.7
H = 0.7
O = 2.1
Divide the all values on the smallest values to get whole number ratio
N = 0.7 / 0.7 = 1
H = 0.7 / 0.7 = 1
O = 2.1 / 0.7 = 3
So all have following values
N = 1
H = 1
O = 3
So the empirical formula will be HNO₃ i.e. all three atoms in simplest small ratio.
Electrolysis is the process of applying an electrical current to a solution in order to separate the components of that liquid phase solution on the basis of their charge. If we consider molten calcium hydroxide, the ions present will be:
Ca⁺²
OH⁻
The cations, the ones with a positive charge, will be reduced at the cathode. Therefore, calcium metal will be produced at the cathode. The anions will be oxidized at the anode, which means hydrogen gas will be produced at the anode.
Answer:
Explanation:
First of all, we need to understand what gravity is. Gravity in its simplest form can be best visualized as a force of attraction, that pulls all objects that have a mass towards itself.
It is usually exerted by an object with a larger mass and felt by objects with smaller masses.
Putting this into context, the earth exerts a gravitational pull on all substances with masses, which are around it. This includes the oceans, birds, airplanes, clouds, and even gasses in the atmosphere. The atmospheric gasses may be light enough to float, but they can't go very far, since gravity is constantly tugging at them. This keeps the gasses that make up our atmosphere, within a reasonable radius, which is very close to the earth. In a nutshell, gravity prevents them from floating away into outer space.
