Answer:

1.030-0.545=0.485 grams of oxygen in compound.

Convert grams of Al and grams of O into moles:

0.545g Al x 1 mol Al/26.98g Al = 0.0202 mol Al

0.485g O x 1 mol O/16.00g O = 0.0303 mol O

Next we divide the moles of both of them by the lowest number to get simplest ratio

0.0202/0.0202 = 1 Al

0.0303/0.0202 = 1.5 O

Next we multiply all numbers until we get a whole number for each one. In this case 2 works:

Al 1 x 2 : O 1.5 x 2

and we are left with Al2O3

Answer:

mass Al = 0.545 g

\text{mass O = 0.485 g}mass O = 0.485 g

Required:

empirical formula

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate the number of moles of each element

n \: \text{Al = 0.545 g} \times \frac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{26.98 g}} = \text{0.0202 mol}nAl = 0.545 g×

26.98 g

1 mol

=0.0202 mol

n \: \text{O = 0.485 g} \times \frac{\text{1 mol}}{\text{16.00 g}} = \text{0.0303 mol}nO = 0.485 g×

16.00 g

1 mol

=0.0303 mol

Step 2: Represent an empirical formula

empirical \: formula = \text{Al}_{x}\text{O}_{y}empiricalformula=Al

x

O

y

Step 3: Divide the number of moles of each element by the least number of moles

x = \frac{\text{0.0202 mol}}{\text{0.0202 mol}} = 1 × 2 = 2x=

0.0202 mol

0.0202 mol

=1×2=2

y = \frac{\text{0.0303 mol}}{\text{0.0202 mol}} = 1.5 × 2 = 3y=

0.0202 mol

0.0303 mol

=1.5×2=3

Step 4: Write the empirical formula

\blue{empirical \: formula = \text{Al}_{2}\text{O}_{3}}empiricalformula=Al

2

O

The nurse will assess a client who has a draining abscess. the nurse should perform what action upon entering the room?
Luden [163]

If a patient has a draining abscess, the nurse should avoid physical contact with the patient.

<h3>What is a draining abscess? </h3>

An abscess is a pocket filled with pus that is formed on the surface of the skin. It is formed on an inflamed region of the skin. The formation of this kind of pocket is the result of infection by bacteria.

Draining of abscesses is a treatment for this condition. In this, the doctor cuts an incision to drain out the pus from the abscess.

Before doing this procedure, the patient is put on a course of antibiotics to prevent any kind of infection that may be resulted from the draining pus.

Therefore, if a patent has a draining abscess, the nurse should avoid physical contact with the patient.
