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

Answer:

Option d: C₈H₉NO₂ = acetaminophen, analgesic

Explanation:

% composition of compound is:

63.57 g of C

6 g of H

9.267 g of N

21.17 g of O

First of all we divide each by the molar mass of the element

63.57 g / 12 gmol = 5.29 mol of C

6 g of H / 1 g/mol = 6 mol H

9.267 g of N / 14 g/mol =  0.662 mol of N

21.17 g of O / 16 g/mol = 1.32 mol of O

We divide each by the lowest value, in this case 0.662

5.29 / 0.662 = 8

6 / 0.662 = 9

0.662 / 0.662 = 1

1.32 / 0.662 = 2

Molecular formula of the compound is C₈H₉NO₂

Escribe aquí algo que consideres que requiere un balance para que se lleve a cabo correctamente:
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Direct weighing means that an object is placed directly on a balance and the mass read. Weighing directly requires that the balance be carefully zeroed (reads zero with nothing on the balance pan) in order to obtain accurate results.

What are the starting materials in a chemical reaction called?
Irina18 [472]
A chemical reaction is the process in which atoms present in the starting substances rearrange to give new chemical combinations present in the substances formed by the reaction. These starting substances of a chemical reaction are called the reactants, and the new substances that result are called the products.

Gamma radiation is electromagnetic energy<br> True or false
AfilCa [17]

Hey there! :D

This is a true statement. Gamma radiation comes from electromagnetic energy from radioactive decay. This decay has the shortest electromagnetic wave lengths and therefore has the highest photon energy. It is extremely dangerous. Radiation in general is something to be cautious of!

I hope this helps!

Does acid rain make new substances? Construct an argument that uses data from this investigation as evidence for your claim.
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Acid rain, like all acids, generates dissolution of chemical compounds, and reacts together with bases to be able to carry out oxide reduction reactions, which by deduction is very likely to form new substances as a result of the dissolution or acid erosion caused.

Explanation:

Acid rain is more likely to occur in large cities or large sources of pollution, since the excess of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes it to increase its partial pressure in a condensed way in the clouds, this is how then this cloud when being loaded with water and then generating the rain drags these masses of condensed carbon dioxide in the form of acid rain.

The degree of acidity is directly proportional to the amount of partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
