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.

F a shell can hold a maximum of 32 electrons, what is the value of n? 2 3 4 5
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: 4

Explanation:

Principle Quantum Numbers: This quantum number describes the size of the orbital. It is represented by n.

Azimuthal Quantum Number: This quantum number describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...

Magnetic Quantum Number: This quantum number describes the orientation of the orbitals. It is represented as m_l. The value of this quantum number ranges from (-l\text{ to }+l). When l = 2, the value of m_l will be -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.

Given : a f subshell, thus l = 3 , Thus the subshells present would be 3, 2, 1, 0 and thus n will have a value of 4.

Also electrons give are 32.

The formula for number of electrons is 2n^2.

2n^2=32

n=4

Thus principal quantum no will be n= 4.

Predict the reactivity of silicon in water relative to that of sodium, magnesium, and aluminium. Explain your answer. How does t
Inessa [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reactivity of metals has a lot to do with their position in the electrochemical series. However, it is also known that metallic character decreases across the period. This implies that as we move from left to right along the periodic table. Sodium, magnesium, aluminum and silicon continues to decrease in metallic character. As a matter of fact, silicon is a metalloid and not a pure metal.

Sodium reacts with cold water to give a vigorous reaction,magnesium and aluminium reacts with steam at red heat.

Silicon does not react with water, even as steam, under normal conditions.

What is the volume of an oxygen tank if it contains 12 moles of oxygen at 273 K under 75 kPa?
Zina [86]
Given:
n = 12 moles of oxygen
T = 273 K, temperature
p = 75 kPa, pressure

Use the ideal gas law, given by
pV=nRT \\ or \\  V= \frac{nRT}{p}
where
V = volume
R = 8.3145 J/(mol-K), the gas constant

Therefore,
V= \frac{(12\,mol)(8.3145\, \frac{J}{mol-K} )(273\,K)}{75 \times 10^{3} \, Pa}= 0.3632\,m^{3}

Answer: 0.363 m³
