Ionic compounds form when metals transfer valence electrons to nonmetals. Ionic compounds exist as crystals rather than molecules.

The element Osminum has a density of 22.6 g/cm3. the mass of a block of Osmium with three sides of 1.01cmx0.223 cm x 0.648 cm is

Alika [10]

Volume of osmium = 1.01(0.223)(0.648) = 0.14595 cm3

Density = mass / volume
So density x volume = mass of osmium
22.6 x 0.14595 = 3.29845 g

Determine the molecular formula of a compound that is 49.48% carbon, 5.19% hydrogen, 28.85% nitrogen, and 16.48% oxygen. the mol

Softa [21]

To determine molecular formula, we first need to find out its empirical formula,
Carbon. Hydrogen. Nitrogen. Oxygen
Mass. 49.98g. 5.19g. 28.85g. 16.48g
Mole. 4.165. 5.19. 2.06. 1.03
Divide 4. 5. 2. 1
by
smallest
So by comparing the mole ratio from the table above, i hope u understand the table
The empirical formula is C4H5N2O
given molecular mass = 194.19g
so
(C4H5N2O) n= 194.19
(48+5+28+16)n=194.19
n= 2
molecular formula = C8H10N4O2

The temperature on the moon is (4 points) about the same as the Earth hotter than the Earth most of the time goes from extremely

fiasKO [112]

Answer is C.) Goes from extremely cold to extremely hot during a lunar day 

The reason is because the temperatures on the moon are very hot in the daytime, about 100 degrees C. At night, the lunar surface gets very cold, as cold as minus 173 degrees C. This wide variation is because Earth's moon has no atmosphere to hold in heat at night or prevent the surface from getting so hot during the day.
