<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>

Consider a solution that is 0.05 M HCl. Your goal is to neutralize 1 L of this solution (i.e. bring the pH to 7). You also have

Answer:

The volume of NaOH required is - 0.01 L

Explanation:

At equivalence point ,

Moles of $HCl$ = Moles of NaOH

Considering :-

$Molarity_{HCl}\times Volume_{HCl}=Molarity_{NaOH}\times Volume_{NaOH}$

Given that:

$Molarity_{NaOH}=5\ M$

$Volume_{NaOH}=?\ L$

$Volume_{HCl}=1\ L$

$Molarity_{HCl}=0.05\ M$

So,

$Molarity_{HCl}\times Volume_{HCl}=Molarity_{NaOH}\times Volume_{NaOH}$

$0.05\times 1=5\times Volume_{NaOH}$

$Volume_{NaOH}=\frac{0.05\times 1}{5}=0.01\ L$

<u>The volume of NaOH required is - 0.01 L</u>

The standard free energy change for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always:_________

sattari [20]

Answer: The standard free energy change for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always positive.

Explanation:

Electrolytic cells use electric currents to drive a non-spontaneous reaction forward.

Relation of standard free energy change and emf of cell

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^0_{cell}$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = standard free energy change

n= no of electrons gained or lost

F= faraday's constant

$E^0_{cell}$ = standard emf

$E^0_{cell}$ = standard emf = -ve , for non spontaneous reaction

Thus $\Delta G^o=(-ve)(-ve)=+ve$

Thus standard free energy change for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always positive.
