Answer:

Percentage of carbon:

${ \tt{ = \frac{24}{30} \times 100\%}} \\ = 80\%$

Percentage of hydrogen:

${ \tt{ = \frac{6}{30} \times 100\%} } \\ = 20\%$

what is the empirical formula of vanadium 1 oxide given that 20.38 grams of vandium combines with oxygen to form 23.58 grams of

Alex

Answer:

The empirical formula is V₂O

Empirical formula of a compound is the formula that shows the simplest whole number ratio of the atoms of elements in a given compound. Empirical formula is normally calculated when the mass of each element in a compound is known or the percentage composition by mass of each element in a compound is known.

Step by Step Explanation:

Step 1: Percentage composition of each element

Percentage composition=(mass of an element/ mass of the compound)100%

Mass of Vanadium = 20.38 g

Mass of the compound = 23.58 g

% composition of Vanadium = (20.38 g/23.58 g) 100%

= 86.43 %

Mass of Oxygen = 23.58 g -20.38 g

= 3.2 g

% composition of oxygen = (3.2/g/23.58 g) 100%

= 13.57%

Step 2: Find the number of atoms of each element in the compound

Number of atoms = percentage composition/ atomic mass

Atomic mass of Vanadium = 50.94 g/mol

Number of atoms of V = 86.43 /50.94

= 1.6967

Atomic mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

Number of atoms of O = 13.57/16

= 0.8481

Step 3: Find the simplest ratio of atoms

Vanadium : Oxygen

1.6967 : 0.8481

= 1.6967/0.8481 : 0.8481/0.8481

= 2: 1

Whole number ratio = 2 : 1

Therefore; the empirical formula is V₂O

Hi I like a guy (He knows I like him too cause my friend told him) but me and this guy are really good friends how do I deal wit

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

When you start to feel you are desiring more than just a casual friendship with your best friend and you’re not sure what to do next, let me offer you some advice that could strengthen both your relationship and your love for each other.

First, don’t rush into a romantic relationship with your best friend…many times people confuse love with that other kind of caring love you feel for all of your other friends.

Second, don’t spill your guts right away. You might feel like you have to share all your thoughts and feelings with the other person as soon as you start to feel something. That’s usually a mistake.

Answer:All materials are made up from atoms, and all atoms consist of protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons, have a positive electrical charge. Neutrons have no electrical charge (that is they are Neutral), while Electrons have a negative electrical charge. Atoms are bound together by powerful forces of attraction existing between the atoms nucleus and the electrons in its outer shell.

Electrical Voltage

Voltage, ( V ) is the potential energy of an electrical supply stored in the form of an electrical charge. Voltage can be thought of as the force that pushes electrons through a conductor and the greater the voltage the greater is its ability to “push” the electrons through a given circuit. As energy has the ability to do work this potential energy can be described as the work required in joules to move electrons in the form of an electrical current around a circuit from one point or node to another.

Then the difference in voltage between any two points, connections or junctions (called nodes) in a circuit is known as the Potential Difference, ( p.d. ) commonly called the Voltage Drop.

he Potential difference between two points is measured in Volts with the circuit symbol V, or lowercase “v“, although Energy, E lowercase “e” is sometimes used to indicate a generated emf (electromotive force). Then the greater the voltage, the greater is the pressure (or pushing force) and the greater is the capacity to do work.

A constant voltage source is called a DC Voltage with a voltage that varies periodically with time is called an AC voltage. Voltage is measured in volts, with one volt being defined as the electrical pressure required to force an electrical current of one ampere through a resistance of one Ohm. Voltages are generally expressed in Volts with prefixes used to denote sub-multiples of the voltage such as microvolts ( μV = 10-6 V ), millivolts ( mV = 10-3 V ) or kilovolts ( kV = 103 V ). Voltage can be either positive or negative.
