Answer:
the molecular formula for the gas is NO₂
Explanation:
since it contains
Nitrogen = n → 30.45%
Oxygen = o → 69.55%
and 30.45%+69.55% = 100% , then the gas only contains nitrogen and oxygen
Also we know that the proportion of oxygen over nitrogen is
proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = moles of oxygen / moles of nitrogen
since
moles = mass / molecular weight
then for a sample of 100 gr of the unknown gas
mass of oxygen = 69.55%*100 gr = 69.55 gr
mass of Nitrogen = 30.45%*100 gr = 30.45 gr
proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = (mass of oxygen/ molecular weight)/(mass of nitrogen / molecular weight of nitrogen ) = (69.55 gr/ 16 gr/mol) /( 30.45 gr /14 gr/mol) = 1.998 mol of O/ mol of N≈ 2 mol of O/ mol of N
therefore there are 2 atoms of oxygen per atom of nitrogen
thus the molecular formula for the gas is:
NO₂
Answer:
It is 52° below the celestial equator.
Explanation:
The declination is the angle in degrees measured north (+) or south (-) of the an imaginary line called the celestial equator.
The celestial equator is a projection of the earth's equator on the celestial sphere. imaginary
The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°.
Since the angle is negative, this shows that it is south or below the celestial equator and at 52° south of the celestial equator.
Thus, the star named Caponus is 52° below the celestial equator.
The correct answer would be D. A new experiment would be needed to be done in order to test the conclusions. In science there is no authority, data is the only thing that matters. So if we have two different conclusions from the same date the only solution is to perform more tests and more experiments to see what is correct.
