Answer:

Empirical formula = K₂SO₄

The name of the compound is Potassium tetraoxosulfate (vi)

Explanation:

Percentage composition of the elements:

Potassium = 44.82%

Sulfur = 18.39%

Oxygen = 36.79%

Mole ratio of the elements:

Potassium = 44.82/39 =1.15

Sulfur = 18.39/32 = 0.57

Oxygen = 36.79/16 = 2.29

Dividing by the smallest ratio in order to obtain the simplest ratio

Potassium = 1.15/0.57 =2

Sulfur = 0.57/0.57 = 1

Oxygen = 2.29/0.57 = 4

Therefore, the mole ratio of Potassium : Sulfur : Oxygen = 2:1:4

Empirical formula = K₂SO₄

The name of the compound is Potassium tetraoxosulfate (vi)

Covert from scientific notation<br> 1.3 x 10¹²=
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

1,300,000,000,000

Explanation:

1.3 x 10^12

We want to convert this from scientific notation.

Tip: in scientific notation the exponent tells you how many place you move the decimal point over. If the exponent is negative you move the decimal point to the left. Ex. For, 4.1 x 10^-8, we would move the decimal point over 8 times to the left to get .00000041. When the exponent is positive we move over to the right. Ex. For, 7.6 x 10^7 we would move the decimal point over 7 times to the right to get 76,000,000

So to convert 1.3 x 10^12 we simply move over the decimal point over 12 times to the right.

1.3 x 10^12 ------> 1,300,000,000,000

Our answer is 1,300,000,000,000

What changes in space result from the death of massive stars?
lana [24]

Whenever the fuel is being used up, a star explodes and the energy leakage from a star's core ceases.

Explanation:

The dying star expands in the "Red Giant," before even the inevitable collapse starts, due to nuclear reactions just outside of the core.

It becomes a white dwarf star when the star has almost the same density as the Sun. If it's much larger, a supernova explosion could take place and leave a neutron star away. However, if it is very large–at least three times the Sun's mass–the crumbling core of the star, nothing will ever stop it from crumbling. The star is imploding into a black hole, an endless gravitational loop in space.

If chemical bonds didn’t
hram777 [196]

All of the above answers are true right answer is option D

because, no bond no molecule no interaction no life,

no bond= only element will exist

Energy would not exist coz energy consumption and excretion takes place during bond formation and bond breaking process!
