Chemistry
1 answer:
aalyn [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B. The number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical  formula.

Explanation:

It is not always true that the number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical formula.

The chemical formulae of a compound are of two main types;

  • The empirical formula is that which expresses the composition of a compound in the simplest whole number ratio.
  • The molecular formula shows the actual ratio of the atoms in a compound.

Sometimes the number of atoms in the molecular and empirical formula can be the same.

Also, the number of atoms in the molecular formula is always greater than that of the empirical formula when they are not the same.

Name the types of radiation known to be emitted by radioactive elements.
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer : The types of radiation known to be emitted by radioactive elements are, alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.

Explanation :

Radioactive decay : It the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting the radiations like, alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.

The naturally occurring radioactive elements are, radium, thorium, and uranium.

Alpha particle : It is also known as alpha radiation or alpha ray that consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons that are bound together into a particle that is identical to the helium nucleus. It is produced in the process of alpha decay.

Beta particle : It is also known as beta radiation or beta ray. During the beta decay process, a high energy and speed electron or positron are emitted by the radioactive decay of atomic nucleus.

Gamma particle : It is also a gamma radiation or gamma ray that is arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. It has shortest wavelength waves and imparts high photon energy can pass through most forms of matters because they have no mass.

Changes in matter occur every day. There are two types of ways matter can be altered; physically and chemically. Physical changes do not change the composition of the matter while chemical changes occur when one or more substances turn into a completely new substance. Physical changes can be seen through an altering of the substances physical property. A substances physical property is observed and measured without changing the composition of the subject. Descriptive words that would help to identify a substance’s physical property include hard, soft, brittle, flexible, heavy, and light just to name a few. Let’s say you’re eating, throughout the day your stomach starts to growl that is what happens when your stomach is digesting your food. Digestion is an example of chemical change. Chemical change happens every day and more than half the time we don’t realize it whether it’s metal starting to rust, or our food starting to rot. Physical change can happen when your popsicle starts to melt, or your water starting starting to boil. These are examples of physical change.

You use 4.98 g of Na2SO4, how many grams of barium sulfate are produced?<br><br> Na2+Ba(NO3)2= ?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Mass of barium sulfate = 8.17 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium sulfate = 4.98 g

Mass of barium sulfate produced = ?

Solution:

Na₂SO₄ + Ba(NO₃)₂    →   BaSO₄ + 2NaNO₃

Moles of sodium sulfate:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles =4.98 g / 142.04 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.035 mol

Now we will compare the moles pf sodium sulfate and with barium sulfate.

                            Na₂SO₄               :            BaSO₄

                                1                       :              1

                              0.035                :          0.035

Mass of barium sulfate:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass =   0.035 mol ×233.4 g/mol

Mass = 8.17 g

A certain liquid X has a normal boiling point of 111.20 celsius and a boiling point elevation constant Kb=0.95. calculate the bo
Goshia [24]

Answer: the boiling point is = 137.325°C

Explanation:

From the formula: ∆Tb= Kb*m

From the question, Kb= 0.95, m= 27.5, T1= 111.2°C

Substitute into ∆Tb= Kb*m

∆Tb= 0.95*27.5= 26.125

∆Tb= T2-T1

Hence

T2- 111.2=26.125

T2= 26.125+ 111.2= 137.325°C
