Answer:
B. How many of each atom are present in the compound
D. the simplified ratio of atoms in relation to each other
Explanation:
In a chemical formula, chemical elements or atoms are represented by a chemical symbol for example Fe for iron and Na for sodium, and the number of each atom is represented by a subscript such as CO2, where 2 is a subscript representing 2 atoms of oxygen.
A subscript represents the number of each atom in the compound and the simplified ratio of atoms in relation to each other. The simplified ratio of atoms in relation to each other means subscript shows the contribution of both the atoms in the compound, for example: N2 + 3H2 => 2NH3, it means the subscript showing the ratio or proportionate of atoms that is 2:2 for both nitrogen and hydrogen.
The subscript is always written below and to the right of the chemical symbol.
Hence, the correct answer is "B. How many of each atom are present in the compound and D. the simplified ratio of atoms in relation to each other"
Answer: P2O5 is the empirical formula.
Explanation: When given percentages you can assume that many grams of each atom are in the compound. Then you divide grams by the molar mass of each element, giving you moles. Once you have moles, divide by the smaller molar amount, which should give you 1 mol of Phosphorus and 2.5 mol of Oxygen. Then multiply by 2 in order for both moles to be a whole number. This gets you 2 and 5.
1) d
2) b because the independent variable is the thing you change/control in an experiment
3) c because the dependent variable is the thing being measured in an experiment
4)hmm it might be d, as c and a are both correct as different sized feeders would make it an unfair test and different types of food would as well
5) c
6) a
7) b obviously because if he activated them at different times then the ones activated last would have an advantage
It looks all correct to me, great job!
