<span>Answer: HgNO₃
</span><span />

<span>Explanation:
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
The empirical formula is the formula that shows the ratio of the atoms in its simplest form, this is using the smallest whole numbers.
</span><span />

<span>The empirical formula may or may not be the same molecular formula.
</span><span />

<span>In this case you are given the molecular formula Hg₂(NO₃)₂. Since, the ratio of the atoms of Hg, N, and O is 2: 2: 6, respectively, the same ratio is expressed if you divide by the greatest common factor (GCF).
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>The GCF of 2, 2, and 6 is 2. So, the ratios can be simplified to 1:1:3, meaning 1 mol of Hg, 1 mol of N, and 3 mol of O or HgNO₃.</span>

Using the chemical equation below, how many moles of Al2O3 produce when 105 grams of Al are reacted? 2Al+Fe2O3 —&gt; Al2O3+2Fe
topjm [15]

Answer:

1.94

Explanation:

moles = mass/Mr so you have 3.889 moles of aluminium, but because the ratio in the equation is 2:1 you need to halve it.

Pretend you are the size of an atom and you are observing a reaction between a potassium ion and a fluorine atom. Describe how a
Elena L [17]
Due to periodic trends potassium would lose its one valence electron to have a more stable electron configuration equivalent to that of argon, which is a noble gas with a full octet. Fluorine would gain one valence electron to get a full octet equivalent to that of neon. Since potassium lost an electron it now has a positive charge and since fluorine gained an electron it is now negative. Since both are more stable this way as a full octet they will no longer exchange electrons but the positive potassium and negative fluorine will pull towards each other strongly forming an ionic bond.
