From the periodic table:
molar mass of Sn = 118.71 grams
molar mass of F = 18.99 grams
This means that:
molar mass of SnF2 = 118.71 + 2(18.99) = 156.69 grams
Therefore, 156.69 grams of SnF2 contains 37.98 grams of F. To know the amount of F in 36.5 grams of the compound, we will simply do a cross multiplication as follows:
mass of F = (36.6 x 37.98) / 156.69 = 8.847 grams
Answer:
Generally, observed behavior that can be formulated into a statement, sometimes mathematical in nature, is called a natural law- D.
Answer:
It is A) Calcium
Explanation:
Calcium has an electronic configuration of 2,8,8,2
The empirical formula, <span>C<span>H2</span></span>, has a relative molecular mass of
<span>1×<span>(12.01)</span>+2×<span>(1.01)</span>=14.04</span>
This means that the empirical formula must be multiplied by a factor to bring up its molecular weight to 70. This factor can be calculated as the ratio of the relative masses of the molecular and empirical formulas
<span><span>7014.04</span>=4.98≈5</span>
Remember that subscripts in molecular formulas must be in whole numbers, hence the rounding-off. Finally, the molecular formula is
<span><span>C<span>1×5</span></span><span>H<span>2×5</span></span>=<span>C5</span><span>H<span>10</span></span></span>
Answer:1) It is due to large cohesive force acting between the molecules of mercury that the droplets of mercury when brought in contact pulled together to form a bigger drop in order to make potential energy minimum. The temperature of this bigger drop increases since the total surface area decreases.
2) A spherical shape has the minimum surface area to volume ratio of all geometric forms. When two drops of a liquid are brought in contact, the cohesive forces between their molecules coalesce the drops into a single larger drop. This is because, the volume of the liquid remaining the same, the surface area of the resulting single drop is less than the combined surface area of the smaller drops. The resulting decrease in surface energy is released into the environment as heat.
