Answer:

X5Y2

Explanation:

% composition of X = 52.2%

% composition of Y = (100 - 52.2) = 47.8%

This means that there are 52.2g of X and 47.8g of Y in the compound

To calculate the empirical formula of the compound, we first convert the gram value to mole value by dividing by their molar masses.

X = 52.2g/42.3g/mol = 1.234mol

Y = 47.8g/96.7g/mol = 0.494mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest value (0.494mol)

X = 1.234mol ÷ 0.494mol = 2.49

Y = 0.494mol ÷ 0.494mol = 1

We multiply each value by 2

X = 2.49 × 2 = 4.98

Y = 1 × 2 = 2

The simple ratio of X:Y is 5:2, hence, their empirical formula is X5Y2.

which solution below would be considered the most acidic?a. 2.9 x 10-4 m hclb. 4.5 x 10-5 m hno3c. 1.0 x 10-7 m nacld. 1.5 x 10-
kkurt [141]

Answer:

a. 2,9x10⁻⁴ M HCl

Explanation:

A solution is considered acidic when its concentration of H⁺ is higher than 1x10⁻⁷. The higher concentration of H⁺ will be the most acidic solution.

a. 2,9x10⁻⁴ M HCl. In water, this solution dissolves as H⁺ and Cl⁻. That means concentration of H⁺ is 2,9x10⁻⁴ M.

b. 4,5x10⁻⁵M HNO₃. In the same way, concentration of H⁺ is 4,5x10⁻⁵M.

c. 1,0x10⁻⁷M NaCl. As this solution doesn't produce H⁺, the solution is not acidic

d. 1,5x10⁻²M KOH. This solution produce OH⁻. That means the solution is basic nor acidic.

Thus, the solution considered the most acidic is a. 2,9x10⁻⁴ M HCl, because has the higher concentration of H⁺.

I hope it helps!
