A compound is analyzed and determined to be 30.4% nitrogen and 69.6%

Chemistry
1 answer:
Neko [114]3 years ago

Answer:

NO2

Explanation:

The empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of the elements in a compound. According to the question;

30.4% represents 30.4g of nitrogen

69.6% represents 69.6g of oxygen

First, we convert each mass value to mole by dividing by their respective molar masses as follows:

N = 30.4/14 = 2.17mol

O = 69.6/16 = 4.35mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (2.17)

N = 2.17/2.17 = 1

O = 4.35/2.17 = 2.0046

Approximately, the ratio of N to O is 1:2, hence, the empirical formula is NO2

Write a nuclear equation for the alpha decay of 23892U.23892U → 0−1e + 23893Np23892U → 10n + 23792U23892U → 42He + 23490Th23892U
romanna [79]

Answer:

23892U=23490Th +42He

Explanation:

In alpha decay, the daughter nucleus is two units less than the parent in atomic number. The mass number also decreases by 4 units. The daughter is thus found two places before the parent in the periodic table.

To show the electron configuration for an atom, when would it be better to use an orbital notation than to use a written configu
Kisachek [45]
The answer is: when the aim is to show electron distributions in shells

An orbital notation is more appropriate if you want to show how the electrons of an atom are distributed in each subshell. This is because there are some atoms that have special electronic configurations that aren't obvious in just written configurations.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

OH−(aq), and H+(aq)

Explanation:

Redox reactions may occur in acidic or basic environments. Usually, if a reaction occurs in an acidic environment, hydrogen ions are shown as being part of the reaction system. For instance, in the reduction of the permanganate ion;

MnO4^-(aq) + 8H^+(aq) +5e-------> Mn^2+(aq) + 4H2O(l)

The appearance of hydrogen ion in the reaction equation implies that the process takes place under acidic reaction conditions.

For reactions that take place under basic conditions, the hydroxide ion is part of the reaction equation.

Hence hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion are included in redox reaction half equations depending on the conditions of the reaction whether acidic or basic.
