Answer:

A₅B₄

Explanation:

Since we have one atom of element A at the center of each face of the unit cell, since the unit cell is a cubic cell, we have 6 faces. Since the atom on the face of the unit cell is shared with another cell, we have half of it in the unit cell is shared So, the number of atoms per face is 1/2 atom/face × 6 faces = 4 atoms on the faces of the unit cell.

Also, we have 1 atom at each corner of the cubic unit cell. Since there are 8 corner in the cubic unit cell. Also, each atom at the corner is shared with 8 unit cells, so we have 1/8 atom per corner. So, the number of atoms per unit cell is 1/8 atom/corner × 8 corners = 1 atoms at the corners of the unit cell.

So, in total we have 4 + 1 = 5 atoms of element A in the unit cell.

Also, there are 4 atoms of element B in the unit cell.

So, the ratio of atoms of element A to element B is 5 : 4.

A:B = 5:4

So, the empirical formula of the compound containing elements A and B is A₅B₄

What titrant will be used to titrate the 0. 02 m hcl phenol red solution?
RideAnS [48]

The NaOH will be used What titrant  to titrate the 0. 02 m hcl phenol red solution.

Acid-base titrations may be the most typical titrations, although there are numerous more forms as well. Take a look at this illustration where sodium hydroxide is used to titrate a sample of hydrochloric acid (HCl) (NaOH). The titrant (NaOH), which is added gradually throughout the duration of the titration, has been added to the unknown solution.

Titrants are solutions with known concentrations that are added to solutions whose concentrations must be determined. The solution for whom the concentration needs to be determined is known as a titrant as well as analyte.

Therefore, the NaOH will be used as a titrant to titrate the 0. 02 m hcl phenol red solution.

What property of hydrocarbon molecules correlates to the viscosity of a particular fraction when it is cooled to room temperatur
lora16 [44]
Because of differences in molecular structure, the empirical formula remains different between hydrocarbons; in linear, or "straight-run" alkanes, alkenes and alkynes, the amount of bonded hydrogen lessens in alkenes and alkynes due to the "self-bonding" or catenation of carbon preventing entire saturation of the hydrocarbon by the formation of double or triple bonds. 

<span>This inherent ability of hydrocarbons to bond to themselves is referred to as catenation, and allows hydrocarbon to form more complex molecules, such as cyclohexane, and in rarer cases, arenes such as benzene. This ability comes from the fact that bond character between carbon atoms is entirely non-polar, in that the distribution of electrons between the two elements is somewhat even due to the same electronegativity values of the elements (~0.30), and does not result in the formation of an electrophile. 

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

An ion with 11 protons 12 neutrons and a charge of + 1 has an atomic number of
posledela

Answer:

11 electrons total and 23amu

Explanation:

This tells us that sodium has 11 protons and because it is neutral it has 11 electrons. The mass number of an element tells us the number of protons AND neutrons in an atom (the two particles that have a measurable mass). Sodium has a mass number of 23amu.
