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

Regards!

Answer: There are 21.08\times 10^{23} molecules in 63.00 g of H_2O

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{63.00g}{18g/mol}=3.5moles

1 mole of H_2O contains =  6.023\times 10^{23} molecules

Thus 3.5 moles of H_2O contains =  \frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 3.5=21.08\times 10^{23} molecules.

There are 21.08\times 10^{23} molecules in 63.00 g of H_2O

A carpenter uses sandpaper on a piece of wood. Before, the wood felt rough. After, the wood felt smooth. Did the friction betwee
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

<em>Friction between the hand and the wood decreased.</em>

Explanation:

The texture of the wood went from rough → smooth! This means friction between the hand and the wood was notably decreased.

According to this prompt, the carpenter used <em>sandpaper </em>against the wood. Sandpaper just so happens to be a very abrasive substance. The sandpaper polished and leveled out the wood which wore all the jutting bits away.- overall, making it much smoother and more pleasant to touch!
