Answer:

PNCl_2

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, when determining empirical formulas by knowing the by-mass percent, we first must assume the percentages as masses so we can compute the moles of each element:

n_P=\frac{26.73g}{30.97g/mol}=0.863mol\\\\n_N=\frac{12.09g}{14.01g/mol}=0.863mol\\\\n_C_l=\frac{61.18g}{35.45g/mol}=1.726mol

Now, for the determination of the subscript of each element in the empirical formula, we divide the moles by the fewest moles (P or N):

P=\frac{0.863mol}{0.863mol}=1\\\\N= \frac{0.863mol}{0.863mol}=1\\\\Cl=\frac{1.726mol}{0.863mol}2

Thus, the empirical formula is:

PNCl_2

Find the equation of directrix of the parabola is given by 64x equals to -ySquare ​
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Given equation of parabola is

and

2

=64x ......(i)

The point at which the tangent to the curve is parallel to the line is the nearest point on the curve.

On differentiating both sides of equation (i), we get

2 y

dx

d y

=64

⇒

d y

=

and

32

Also, slope of the given line is −

⇒and=−24

From equation (i), (−24)

2

=64x⇒x=9

∴ the required point is (9,−24)

Which of the following claims may be made based on your observations? (You will recieve negative points for wrong answers.)
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

D, E and F

Explanation:

About tetrachloro cobalt complexes, the following facts have been observed  

  • Color of the tetrachloro cobalt complexes is blue.
  • They do not decompose on heating that means synthesis of tetra chloro is endothermic.

About hexa aqua cobalt complexes, the following facts have been observed  

  • Color of the hexa aqua cobalt complexes is pink color.
  • They decompose on heating and remain stable on cooling that means process of synthesis of hexa aqua cobalt complexes is exothermic.

Based on above, the correct statements are:

The correct is chloro cobalt complex is blue and aqua cobalt  

complex is pink.  

The chloro complex is favored by heating.

If the chloro complex is a product, then the reaction must be endothermic.

The correct options are D, E and F.

Choose the reaction that represents the combustion of C6H12O2.
Leona [35]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  letter D

Explanation:

In a combustion reaction, the reactants are always a molecule with Carbon that reacts with oxygen and the products are carbon dioxide and water.

According to the explanation, the only possible solution is:

a) C₆H₁₂O₂(l) ⇒ 6 C(s) + 6 H₂(g) + O₂(g)

b) Mg(s) + C₆H₁₂O₂(l) ⇒ MgC₆H₁₂O₂(aq)

c) 6 C(s) + 6 H₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₂(l)

d) C₆H₁₂O₂(l) + 8 O₂(g) ⇒ 6 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(g)

e) None of the above represent the combustion of C₆H₁₂O₂.
