Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up a compound.
The percentage composition of each element has been given
therefore the mass present of each element in 100 g of compound is
B N H
mass 40.28 g 52.20 g 7.53 g
number of moles
40.28 g / 11 g/mol 52.20 g / 14 g/mol 7.53 g / 1 g/mol
= 3.662 mol = 3.729 mol = 7.53 mol
divide the number of moles by the least number of moles, that is 3.662
3.662 / 3.662 3.729 / 3.662 7.53 / 3.662
= 1.000 = 1.018 = 2.056
the ratio of the elements after rounding off to the nearest whole number is
B : N : H = 1 : 1 : 2
therefore empirical formula for the compound is B₁N₁H₂
that can be written as BNH₂
Answer: Democritus atomic theory is the ancient theory that describes the nature of matter in terms of atoms whereas Dalton atomic theory is a modern scientific theory that describes the nature of matter in terms of atoms. According to Dalton's theory, atoms are identically same, but Democritus had no idea about it. Atoms are never created nor destroyed, they just rearrange.
Explanation:
Answer: option B.
carbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide
Explanation:
Answer:
50
Explanation:
We will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.
1. Gather all the information in one place with molar masses above the formulas and masses below them.
Mᵣ: 30.01 32.00 46.01
2NO + O₂ ⟶ 2NO₂
Mass/g: 80.00 16.00
2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

3. Calculate the moles of NO₂ we can obtain from each reactant
From NO:
The molar ratio is 2 mol NO₂:2 mol NO

From O₂:
The molar ratio is 2 mol NO₂:1 mol O₂

4. Identify the limiting and excess reactants
The limiting reactant is O₂ because it gives the smaller amount of NO₂.
The excess reactant is NO.
5. Mass of excess reactant
(a) Moles of NO reacted
The molar ratio is 2 mol NO:1 mol O₂

(b) Mass of NO reacted

(c) Mass of NO remaining
Mass remaining = original mass – mass reacted = (80.00 - 30.01) g = 50 g NO
Explanation:
The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are the valence electrons. These electrons are the most loosely held in an atom.
The energy required to remove these electrons are not as great as those of the inner shell electrons.
- Atoms of some elements show no tendency to combine with other atoms because they have completely filled outer energy levels.
- Their outermost shell, valence shell and the electron numbers are complete for them. These are the noble gases.
- other atoms share or exchange their valence electrons in order to have a stable configuration.
- The valence electrons are involve in inter-atomic bond formation and interactions
- Also the distribution of these electrons determines inter-molecular interactions between molecules.
