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

Water is boiling in a clear pot, as shown in the picture.
Marianna [84]

Answer:

How do the water molecules closest to the burner compare to the water molecules closest to the surface of the liquid? ... They are closer together and moving slower than those at the surface. They are more spread out and moving faster than those at the surface. The diagram shows the sun's interior.

Write a net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when excess hydroiodic acid and nickel(II) sulfide are combined.
tiny-mole [99]

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced "molecular" equation:

2HI(aq) + NIS (s) → NiI₂(aq) + H₂S(g)

Step 2: H₂S is written in molecular form. Consult the solubility and net ionic equation rules on the information page to determine which of the other substances will dissociate:

2HI(aq) + NIS (s) → NiI₂(aq) + H₂S(g)

yes no yes

Step 3: Dissociate all soluble salts, strong acids, and strong bases (except calcium hydroxide). Leave together all "not soluble" salts and weak acids or bases:

{2H₃O}^{ + }  (aq) +  {2I}^{ - }  (aq) + NiS(s)→  { Ni}^{2 + }(aq) +  {2I}^{ - }(aq) + H₂S(g) + 2H₂O(l)

Step 4: Cross out "spectator ions" that appear on both sides of the reaction (these ions do not participate in the chemistry) and rewrite the "net" reaction using the smallest possible coefficients:

{2H₃O}^{ + } (aq) + NiS(s) →   { Ni}^{2 + } (aq) + H₂S(g) + 2H₂O(l)

Sulfur has a lower ionization energy than chlorine because 1. the effective nuclear charge of sulfur is less than that of chlori
Reptile [31]

Answer: the effective nuclear charge of sulfur is less than that of chlorine

Explanation:

Ionization Energy can be defined as the energy needed for the complete removal of valence electron.

Ionization Energy decreases steadily down the group because of the outer electrons becomes progressively separated from the nucleus, hence they are less tightly held.

Also, Ionization Energy increases from left to right across the period i.e formation of a cation becomes more difficult owing to increase in nuclear charge.

Therefore, the effective nuclear charge of sulfur is less than that of chlorine because Chlorine have a greater ionization energy.
