Answer: HgNO₃


Explanation:


The empirical formula is the formula that shows the ratio of the atoms in its simplest form, this is using the smallest whole numbers.


The empirical formula may or may not be the same molecular formula.


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).


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.

Convert 565,900 seconds into days

Andreas93 [3]

There are 60 seconds in one minute

565900 / 60 = 9431.667 minutes in 565,900 seconds

There are 60 minutes in an hour

9431.667 minutes / 60 = 157.9144 hours in 565900 seconds

There are 24 hours in 1 day

157.9144 hours / 24 hours = 6.5498 days.

How do I find molar mass

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:The molar mass is the mass of a given chemical element or chemical compound (g) divided by the amount of substance (mol).

The molar mass of a compound can be calculated by adding the standard atomic masses (in g/mol) of the constituent atoms.

A solution contains 0.60 mg/ml mn2+. what minimum mass of kio4 must me added to 5.00 ml of the solution in order to completely o

azamat

The given solution of Mn²⁺ is 0.60 mg/mL.
Hence mass of Mn²⁺ in 5 mL of solution = 0.60 mg/mL x 5 mL = 3 mg

Molar mass of Mn = 54.9 g/mol
Hence, moles of Mn²⁺ = 3 x 10⁻³ g / 54.9 g/mol = 5.46 x 10⁻⁵ mol

The balanced equation for the reaction is,
2Mn²⁺ + 5KIO₄ + 3H₂O → 2MnO₄⁻ + 5KIO₃ + 6H⁺

The stoichiometric ratio between Mn²⁺ and KIO₄ is 2 : 5

Hence, moles of KIO₄ reacted = 5.46 x 10⁻⁵ mol x (5 / 2)
= 13.65 x 10⁻⁵ mol
Molar mass of KIO₄ = 230 g/mol

Hence needed mass of KIO₄ = 13.65 x 10⁻⁵ mol x 230 g/mol
= 0.031395 g
= 31.395 mg
≈ 31.4 mg

Give two examples in your everyday experience where diffusion occurs. Can you think of a situation of where this might be harmfu

Vesnalui [34]

The first example of diffusion is smoking a cigarette when u light it it spreads through the air.
The second example is lighting a candle in a room it the smoke spreads through the air.
Smoke can be very bad for the air and the people around because it can cause many problems with your breathing.
