Answer:

MoClBr₂

Explanation:

First we calculate the mass of bromine in the compound:

  • 300.00 g - (82.46224 g + 45.741 g) = 171.79676 g

Then we<u> calculate the number of moles of each element</u>, using their <em>respective molar masses</em>:

  • 82.46224 g Mo ÷ 95.95 g/mol = 0.9594 mol Mo
  • 45.741 g Cl ÷ 35.45 g/mol = 1.290 mol Cl
  • 171.79676 g Br ÷79.9 g/mol = 2.150 mol Br

Now we <u>divide those numbers of moles by the lowest number among them</u>:

  • 0.9594 mol Mo / 0.9594 = 1
  • 1.290 mol Cl / 0.9594 = 1.34 ≅ 1
  • 2.150 mol Br / 0.9594 = 2.24 ≅ 2

Meaning the empirical formula is MoClBr₂.

Answer:

The water will evaporate and fly out of the bucket; the process will not stop until there is enough water vapor in the atmosphere that the vapor pressure stops the water from boiling further.

As of right now, which of the following forms of nuclear power is the most feasible for human use?
nikitadnepr [17]

As of now, the nuclear fission is the most feasible energy source for human use. All the nuclear power plants are based on the controlled nuclear fission reaction, where the unstable nucleus is bombarded with high speed neutrons, thus, splitting the nucleus into stable ones and releasing huge amount of energy. The nuclear fusion requires very high temperature, the temperature equal's to that of the sun. Hence, it is not feasible right now. As the technology advances, we will see advancement in other form of energies.
