Answer:

H_5N_5O_6

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for the determination of empirical formulas, it is firstly necessary to assume the given percentages of the constituent atoms as the masses so we can compute their moles in the formula:

n_N=\frac{35gN}{14.01g/mol} =2.5molN\\\\n_H=\frac{5g}{1.01 g/mol}=5molH\\\\n_O=\frac{60g}{16 g/mol}  =3molO

Thus, we need to divide the resulting moles, by the fewest ones (those of nitrogen) in order to determine the coefficients in the formula:

N:\frac{2.5}{2.5}=1\\\\H:\frac{5}{2.5}=2\\\\O:\frac{3}{2.5} =1.2

However, we need to turn all these numbers, whole numbers, so we multiply by 5 to get:

H_5N_5O_6

Best regards!

Thallium-207 decays exponentially with a half life of 4.5 minutes. if the initial amount of the isotope was 28 grams, how many g
Agata [3.3K]
An exponential decay law has the general form: A = Ao * e ^ (-kt) =>

A/Ao = e^(-kt)

Half-life time => A/Ao = 1/2, and t = 4.5 min

=> 1/2 = e^(-k*4.5) => ln(2) = 4.5k => k = ln(2) / 4.5 ≈ 0.154

Now replace the value of k, Ao = 28g  and t = 7 min to find how many grams of Thalium-207 will remain:

A = Ao e ^ (-kt) = 28 g * e ^( -0.154 * 7) = 9.5 g

Answer 9.5 g.

List 6 uses of acids
devlian [24]

Answer: 1. Vinegar, used in the kitchen, is a liquid containing 3-6% acetic acid. It is used in pickles and in many food preparations.

2. Lemon and orange juice contains citric acid. Citric acid is used in the preparation of effervescent salts and as a food preservative.

3. Acids have been put to many uses in industry. Nitric acid and sulphuric acid are used in the manufacture of fertilizers, dyes, paints, drugs and explosives.

4. Sulphuric acid is used in batteries, which are used in cars, etc. Tannic acid is used in the manufacture of ink and leather.

5. Hydrochloric acid is used to make aqua regia, which is used to dissolve noble metals such as gold and platinum.

6. Sulphuric acid is used in manufacturing fertilizers such as super phosphate, ammonium sulpahte etc.

Name the type of ion formed by the atom when it loses three electrons. Show by illustration
Nimfa-mama [501]
The atoms of elements can gain or lose electrons and become ions. Ions are charged particles that have gained or lost electrons. The atoms of elements can gain or lose electrons to form monatomic ions (made from a single atom of an element).

Give the formula of each coordination compound. Include square brackets around the coordination complex. Do not include the oxid
rodikova [14]

Answer:

sodium hexachloroplatinate(IV)- Na2[PtCl6]

dibromobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) bromide- [Co(en)2Br2]Br

pentaamminechlorochromium(III) chloride-[Cr(NH3)5Cl]Cl2

Explanation:

The formulas of the various coordination compounds can be written from their names taking cognisance of the metal oxidation state as shown above. The oxidation state of the metal will determine the number of counter ions present in the coordination compound.

The number ligands are shown by subscripts attached to the ligand symbols. Remember that bidentate ligands such as ethylenediamine bonds to the central metal ion via two donors.
