<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>

Why B-Cl bond is polar? ​
aniked [119]

Answer:

The difference in the electronegativities of chlorine and boron is 3.0 - 2.0 = 1.0 ; the difference in between chlorine and carbon is 3.0 = 2.5 = 0.5 . Consequently, the B-Cl bond is more polar ; the chlorine atom asrries the partial negative charge because it has higher electronegativity .

Explanation:

hope it helps!

Sometimes in lab we collect the gas formed by a chemical reaction over water (see sketch at right). This makes it easy to isolat
zepelin [54]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.12 grams.

Explanation:

The mass of carbon monoxide or CO collected in the tube can be determined by using the ideal gas equation, that is, PV = nRT.

Based on the given question, P or the pressure of the gas is given as 1 atm, volume of the gas collected in the tube is 117 ml or 0.117 L.  

The number of moles or n can be determined by using the equation, mass/molar mass.  

R is the universal gas constant, whose value is 0.0821 L atmK^-1mol^-1, and temperature is 55 degree C or 328 K (55+273).  

On putting the values we get:

n = PV/RT

= (1 atm*0.117 L) / (0.0821 L atmK^-1mol^-1 * 328 K)

= 0.0043447 mol

Therefore, mass of CO will be moles * molar mass of CO

= 0.0043447 mol * 28 g/mol

= 0.12 g

Water can be formed in the following reaction:
andreev551 [17]

Answer is: 10 moles of water will be produced.

Balanced chemical reaction of formation of water:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.

n(H₂) = 10 mol; amount of hydrogen gas.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(H₂) : n(H₂O) = 2 : 2 (1 : 1).

n(H₂O) = n(H₂).

n(H₂O) = 10 mol; amount of water.
