Answer:

The answer to your question is FeS₃

Explanation:

Data

mass of Fe = 3.78g

mass of S = 5.95 g

mass of FeS

Chemical Balanced Reaction

                           Fe   +   S     ⇒    FeS

Process

1.- Convert the grams to moles

For Iron

                              55.85g of Fe --------------  1 mol

                               3.78 g of Fe -----------  x

                               x = (3.78 x 1) / 55.85

                               x = 0.0677 moles

For Sulfur

                              32 g of S ------------------- 1 mol

                               5.95 g     ------------------  x

                               x = (5.95 x 1)/32

                               x = 0.185 moles

2.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

Iron = 0.0677 /0.0677 = 1

Sulfur = 0.185 /0.0677 = 2.73 ≈  3

3.- Write the empirical formula

                                 FeS₃

Answer:FeS

Explanation:

Mass of sulphur=5.95-3.78=2.17g

Fe S

3.78/56. 2.17/32

0.0675/0.0675. 0.0678/0.0675

1:1

Empirical formula=Fe1S1=FeS

What is the oxidation number of chlorine in Al(ClO4)3? Please give me unique work! THANKSS
sveta [45]
It would be +7 oxidation number.
[All compounds are zero]
Al is in group III [ or 13 depending on the system ] so the oxidation state is 3.
You have 12 O at -2 each for-24. That leaves you at -24+3=-21. So, 3 Cl atoms must be +21 to balance the -21 there which makes +21/3 or +7 for each Cl.

Answer:

Fatty Acids

A lipid is an organic compound such as fat or oil. Organisms use lipids to store energy, but lipids have other important roles as well. Lipids consist of repeating units called fatty acids. Fatty acids are organic compounds that have the general formula CH3(CH2)nCOOH" role="presentation" style="display: inline-table; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 17.6px; text-indent: 0px; text-align: left; text-transform: none; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: normal; overflow-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative;">CH3(CH2)nCOOHCH3(CH2)nCOOH, where n" role="presentation" style="display: inline-table; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 17.6px; text-indent: 0px; text-align: left; text-transform: none; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: normal; overflow-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative;">nn usually ranges from 2 to 28 and is always an even number. There are two types of fatty acids: saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids.

Saturated Fatty Acids

In saturated fatty acids, carbon atoms are bonded to as many hydrogen atoms as possible. This causes the molecules to form straight chains, as shown in the figure below. The straight chains can be packed together very tightly, allowing them to store energy in a compact form. This explains why saturated fatty acids are solids at room temperature. Animals use saturated fatty acids to store energy.

Figure 14.2.1" role="presentation" style="display: inline-table; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 16px; text-indent: 0px; text-align: left; text-transform: none; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: normal; overflow-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative;">14.2.114.2.1: Structures of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.

Unsaturated Fatty Acids

In unsaturated fatty acids, some carbon atoms are not bonded to as many hydrogen atoms as possible due to the presence of one or more double bonds in the carbon chain. Instead, they are bonded to other groups of atoms. Wherever carbon binds with these other groups of atoms, it causes chains to bend (see figure above). The bent chains cannot be packed together very tightly, so unsaturated fatty acids are liquids at room temperature. Plants use unsaturated fatty acids to store energy.

Figure 14.2.2" role="presentation" style="display: inline-table; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 16px; text-indent: 0px; text-align: left; text-transform: none; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: normal; overflow-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative;">14.2.214.2.2: Saturated fatty acids have only single bonds while monounsaturated fats have one double bond and polyunsaturated fats have more than one double bond.

Lipids and Diet

Unsaturated fat is generally considered to be healthier because it contains fewer calories than an equivalent amount of saturated fat. Additionally, high consumption of saturated fats is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Some examples of foods with high concentrations of saturated fats include butter, cheese, lard, and some fatty meats. Foods with higher concentrations of unsaturated fats include nuts, avocado, and vegetable oils such as canola oil and olive oil.

Explain what a conjugate acid is and what a conjugate base is.
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

A conjugate acid, within the Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, is a chemical compound formed when an acid donates a proton to a base—in other words, it is a base with a hydrogen ion added to it, as in the reverse reaction it loses a hydrogen ion

Which coefficients will balance the following reaction:
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

C ) 2, 1, 2

Explanation:

The given reaction is synthesis reaction in which lithium and bromine react to form lithium bromide.

Chemical equation:

Li + Br₂    →    LiBr

Balanced chemical equation:

2Li + Br₂    →    2LiBr

Step 1:

Li + Br₂    →    LiBr

left hand side                         Right hand side

Li = 1                                        Li = 1

Br = 2                                        Br = 1

Step 2:

Li + Br₂    →    2LiBr

left hand side                         Right hand side

Li = 1                                        Li = 2

Br = 2                                        Br = 2

Step 3:

2Li + Br₂    →    2LiBr

left hand side                         Right hand side

Li = 2                                       Li = 2

Br = 2                                        Br = 2
