A. hydroxide is the answer
Answer:
4.858 g
Explanation:
Start with the formula
density = 
density = 1.98 g/mL
volume = 2.45 mL
mass = ??
rearrange the formula to solve for mass
(density) x (volume) = mass
Add in the substitutes and solve for mass
1.98 g/mL x 2.45 mL = 4.858 g

The melting point of ice is 0°C: thus is a fact based on repetitive experiments
Repeated observations have consistently
shown that oppositely charged objects
attract each other: this is law
When the elements carbon and nitrogen
are mixed at 1500°C, they will react
with each other.
this is a hypothesis
Atoms are made of protons, neutrons,
and electrons. Although we can’t directly
see these particles, this structure
explains many experimental observations

Answer:
IO₂
Explanation:
We have been given the mass percentages of the elements that makes up the compound:
Mass percentage given are:
Iodine = 79.86%
Oxygen = 20.14%
To calculate the empirical formula which is the simplest formula of the compound, we follow these steps:
> Express the mass percentages as the mass of the elements of the compound.
> Find the number of moles by dividing through by the atomic masses
> Divide by the smallest and either approximate to nearest whole number or multiply through by a factor.
> The ratio is the empirical formula of the compound.
Solution:
I O
% of elements 79.86 20.14
Mass (in g) 79.86 20.14
Moles(divide by
Atomic mass) 79.86/127 20.14/16
Moles 0.634 1.259
Dividing by
Smallest 0.634/0.634 1.259/0.634
1 2
The empirical formula is IO₂
