Answer:

Na₂₆F₁₁

Explanation:

We find the moles of the substance assuming 100 g of the substance is present. Why do we take 100 g? Because then the percent of sodium/fluorine, would be the g of sodium/fluorine respectively:

74.186 g Sodium | 1 mol Sodium/23 g              =>       3.2255 mol Na    

25.814 g Fluorine | 1 mol Fluorine/19 g             =>       1.3586 mol F

Divide each by smallest number of moles:

3.2255/1.3586 = 2.37

1.3586/1.3586 = 1

Multiply by common number to get a smallest whole number:

2.37*11 = 26,

1*11 = 11

The empirical formula is Na₂₆F₁₁

Explanation:

1.

Given parameters:

Frequency of the radiation  = 8.4 x 10¹⁴Hz

Unknown:

Energy of the wave  = ?

Solution:

The energy of a wave is given by the expression below;

    E  = hf

E is the energy

h is the Planck's constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴m²kg/s

f is the frequency

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

 E  =  6.63 x 10⁻³⁴m²kg/s x 8.4 x 10¹⁴Hz

 E  = 5.57 x 10¹ x 10⁻²⁰J

 E  = 5.57 x 10⁻¹⁹J

   

2.

Given parameters:

Wavelength = 2.13 x 10⁻¹³m

Unknown:

Frequency of the wave = ?

Solution:

The frequency of a wave can be determined using the expression;

     C  = f∧

C is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸m/s

f  is the frequency

∧ is the wavelength

      f  = \frac{C}{wavelength}   = \frac{3  x 10^{8} }{2.13 x 10^{-13} }   = 1.41 x 10²¹hz

Write the balanced chemical equations for the decomposition of solid calcium hydroxide into solid calcium (ii) oxide (lime) and
Lesechka [4]

Calcium oxide (CaO) or lime in solid form can be prepared from the decomposition of calcium hydroxide {Ca(OH)_{2} in to lime (CaO) and water (H_{2}O at high temperature. The reaction is an endothermic reaction. That is heat is absorbed in this reaction process. One mole of calcium hydroxide decomposed into one mole of calcium oxide and one mole of water. The balanced reaction can be shown as-CaCO_{3} (solid) → CaO (solid) + H_{2}O (liquid). The heat of the reaction is (+) 63.7 kJ/mole of CaO.

Answer: 1.  C. polar covalent: electrons shared between silicon and sulfur but attracted more to the sulfur

2. B)  NH_3

3. B) Fluorine

Explanation:

1. A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of sulphur- electronegativity of silicon = 2.5 -1.8 = 0.7

Thus as electronegativity difference is less than 1.7 , the cond is polar covalent and as electronegativity of sulphur is more , the electrons will be more towards sulphur.

2. A molecular compound is usually composed of two or more nonmetal elements. Example: NH_3

Ionic compound is formed by the transfer of electrons from metals to non metals. Example: Mg_3N_2 , AlCl_3 and LiBr

3.  For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here K is having an oxidation state of +1 and as the compound formed is KZ, the oxidation state of non metallic element Z should be -1. Thus the element Z is flourine which exists as diatomic gas F_2

What word chemical equation describes Cavendish’s experiment with zinc?
LiRa [457]
The chemical reaction of Cavendish involving zinc would be a reaction between hydrochloric acid and zinc yielding zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation would be:

2Zn + 2HCl = 2ZnCl + H2

This is an example of a single replacement reaction where zinc replaces hydrogen in the acid molecule.

Reacting Solutions of Aluminum Chloride with Potassium Hydroxide
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

1Al2(SO4)3 + 3ZnCl2 → 2AlCl3 + 3ZnSO4

The coefficients represents moles. There is 1 mole of Aluminum Sulfate, 3 moles of Zinc(II) Chloride, 2 moles of Aluminum Chloride, and 3 moles of Zinc(II) Sulfate.

Now add all the coefficients/moles.

9 is the sum of all the coefficients.
