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.

Answer:

11.442E23molecules

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of water = 1.9 mol

Number of molecules of water = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

In 1.9 moles:

1.9 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules / 1 mol

11.442 × 10²³ molecules

In e notation:

11.442E23 molecules

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Pb(s)------>Pb2+(aq)

Explanation:

If you look at the oxidation numbers Pb increases from 0 to +2 while Cu decreases from +2 to 0.Hence,Pb is the reducing agent and Cu2+ is the oxidizing agent.

Also, a thing to note is that the oxidation number of  any solid is always 0.

~Hope this helps:)

What is an orbital??​
swat32

Explanation:

In chemistry and quantum mechanics, an orbital is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of an electron, electron pair, or (less commonly) nucleons. An orbital may also be called an atomic orbital or electron orbital. Although most people think of an "orbit" regarding a circle, the probability density regions that may contain an electron may be spherical, dumbbell-shaped, or more complicated three-dimensional forms.
