Answer:

$Fe_6O_9$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since these problems about formulas, firstly require the determination of the empirical formula, assuming that the given percentages are masses, we can calculate the moles and mole ratio of oxygen to iron as shown below:

$n_{Fe}=70/55.85=1.25\\\\n_O=30/16=1.875$

In such a way, by rounding to the first whole number we multiply by 8 and divide by 5 to obtain:

$Fe_{2}O_{3}$

Whose molar mass is 159.69 g/mol and the mole ratio of the molecular to the empirical formula is:

479.1/159.69=3

Therefore, the molecular formulais:

$Fe_6O_9$

How many grams of HNO3 are produced when 59.0 g of NO2 completely reacts?

Anettt [7]

Answer:

53.7 grams of HNO3 will be produced

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of NO2 = 59.0 grams

Molar mass NO2 = 46.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

3NO2 + H2O→ 2HNO3 + NO

Step 3: Calculate moles NO2

Moles NO2 = 59.0 grams / 46.0 g/mol

Moles NO2 = 1.28 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles HNO3

For 3 moles NO2 we need 1 mol H2O to produce 2 moles HNO3 and 1 mol NO

For 1.28 moles NO2 we'll have 2/3 * 1.28 =0.853 moles HNO3

Step 7: Calculate mass HNO3

Mass HNO3 = 0.853 moles * 63.01 g/mol

Mass HNO3 = 53.7 grams

53.7 grams of HNO3 will be produced

What is the number of atoms per unit cell for each metal?

Sav [38]

In the question, the number of atoms per unit cell is required for:
A) Polonium (Po)
In polonium, the structure is simple cubic, meaning there are 8 corner atoms, which add up to one atom per unit cell.

B) Manganese (Mn)
The structure of the Mn can be considered to be a body centered cubic (BCC) and the number of atoms for this is 8 corner atoms and 1 central atoms, making a total of 2 atoms per unit cell.

C) Silver (Ag)
Silver has a face centered cubic (FCC) unit cell structure, where there are 8 corner atoms and 6 atoms on the faces, so there are a total of 4 atoms per unit cell.

Which of the following statements best explains the observation that hydrogen fluoride has the highest boiling point of all the

olasank [31]

Answer:

c. HF can participate in hydrogen bonding.

Explanation:

The boiling points of substances often reflect the strength of the intermolecular forces operating among the molecules.

If it takes more energy to separate molecules of HF than of the rest of the hydrogen halides because HF molecules are held together by stronger intermolecular forces, then the boiling point of HF will be higher than that of all the hydrogen halides.

A particularly strong type of intermolecular attraction is called the hydrogen bond, which is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction between the hydrogen atom in a polar bond, such as N-H, O-H, or F-H, and an electronegative O, N, or F atom.
