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.

I have a brick, dimensions 4 cm tall, 9 cm wide, and 25 cm long, with a mass of 1250 g. What is the density?
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

1.389

Explanation:

P = m / V

m = 1250

V = 4x9x25 = 900

1250/900 = 1.388889

A 0.45-g sample of aspirin is decomposed into its constituent elements and found to contain 0.27 g C, 0.020 g H, and 0.16 g O. C
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass % of C = 0.27/0.45*100 = 60%

mass % of H = 0.02/0.45*100 = 4.4%

mass % of O = 0.16/0.45*100 = 35.6%

Total = 60%+4.4%+ 35.6% = 100%

Can someone help me please
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Group 4A (or IVA) of the periodic table includes the nonmetal carbon (C), the metalloids silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge), the metals tin (Sn) and lead (Pb), and the yet-unnamed artificially-produced element ununquadium (Uuq).

The Group 4A elements have four valence electrons in their highest-energy orbitals (ns2np2). Carbon and silicon can form ionic compounds by gaining four electrons, forming the carbide anion (C4-) and silicide anion (Si4-), but they more frequently form compounds through covalent bonding. Tin and lead can lose either their outermost p electrons to form 2+ charges (Sn2+, the stannous ion, and Pb2+, the plumbous ion) or their outermost s and p electrons to form 4+ charges (Sn4+, the stannic ion, and Pb4+, the plumbic ion).

Carbon (C, Z=6).

Carbon is most familiar as a black solid is graphite, coal, and charcoal, or as the hard, crystalline diamond form. The name is derived from the Latin word for charcoal, carbo. It is found in the Earth's crust at a concentration of 480 ppm, making it the 15th most abundant element. It is found in form of calcium carbonate, CaCO3, in minerals such as limestone, marble, and dolomite (a mixture of calcium and

When you put an ice cube into a glass of room temperature water, why does the water get cold?
mel-nik [20]
The water gets cold because the ice cube is endothermic. Which means it takes in heat. It takes the warmth from the water and melts the ice cube which the ice cube releases coldness which cools down the water.
