In order to determine the answer to a chemistry problem, a student first converted the given percentages to mole by assuming the

sample size was 100 grams. Then the student divide by the smallest mole amount of the elements present. Finally the student used the ratios to write a formula. Which of the following best describes the problem the student likely solved?
a. Determined percent composition
b. None of the above
c. Determining molecular formula
d. Determining empirical formula

Answer: d. Determining empirical formula

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Step 1: If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.  So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Step 2 : convert given masses into moles

Step 3 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated

Step 4: The mole ratio gives the empirical formula of the compund.

Are moles inversely related to volume
astraxan [27]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

A law that states that at constant temperature, the volume of a fixed amount of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. ... A law that states that at constant temperature and pressure, the volume of a sample of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas in the sample.

Which items in this image are electrically conductive? Check all that apply.
erma4kov [3.2K]
A, the power lines are what actually conducts (Or moves) the power.
It is NOT B or E, because wood is a terrible conductor. This is the reason it is used in homes, to make the heat, (Which is Electricity) stay inside, rather than letting it all pass through.
It is NOT C, because rubber, again, is a horrible conductor. Like wood, it is what we call an insulator, because it does not conduct heat. (or electricity) This is why we wear rubber gloves when doing electrical work.
D is an acceptable answer- Most metals are very good conductors of electricity. For example, have you ever seen a copper pan? It cooks very well, because copper is a very good conductor. Copper is a metal. This is why wire cutters have rubber handles, because the metal's conductivity could electrify the person holding it. The rubber, as I explained before, acts as a "Shield," keeping the person from getting electrocuted when cutting wires or working with electricity.

A balloon of air now occupies 5.0 L, at 25 celcius and 1.00 atm. What temperature was it initially, if it occupied 4.0 L and was
xenn [34]

Answer: A. 219K

Explanation:

Using the Combined Gas Law; P1 V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where P1 = 0.92 atm, P2 = 1.00 atm

           V1 =4.0 L,   V2 = 5.0 L

           T1 =  ?,  T2 = 25 celcius = 298K

We therefore make T1 the subject of the formular;

T1 = P1 . V1 .T2 / P2. V2

    = 0.92atm x 4.0L x 298K / 1.00 atm x 5.0 L

    = 1096.64 /   5

    = 219.328 approx  219K
