Answer:
compounds are elements include an element and a compound
Explanation:
elements in the decomposition reaction is the substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances. Compounds, technically act as a reactant in the decomposition reaction, but since the reaction breakdown one substance into two or more, sometimes it exists in the product
Answer:
Molar mass
Explanation:
This is a counting unit which represents the mass in grams of a substance that make up one mole of the substance. This mass is calculated as follows:
Molar mass = Mass/ Number of moles
Units: grams/mol
You need to look at the electronegativity and decide wheter the difference of both of the numbers are significant enough to form a polar bond
The empirical formula is XeO₃.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Assume 100 g of the compound is present. This changes the percents to grams:
Given mass in g:
Xenon = 73.23 g
Oxygen = 26.77 g
We have to convert it to moles.
Xe = 73.23/
131.293 = 0.56 moles
O = 26.77/ 16 = 1.67 moles
Divide by the lowest value, seeking the smallest whole-number ratio:
Xe = 0.56/ 0.56 = 1
O = 1.67/ 0.56 = 2.9 ≈3
So the empirical formula is XeO₃.
