<span>H2O2 First, let's determine how many moles of hydrogen and oxygen atoms we have. Start by looking up the atomic weights of those elements: Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999 Moles hydrogen = 1.33 g / 1.00794 g/mol = 1.319522987 mol Moles oxygen = 21.3 g / 15.999 g/mol = 1.331333208 mol We now have a ratio of 1.319522987 : 1.331333208 and we want a ratio of small integers that is close. Start by dividing all the numbers in the ratio by the smallest value, giving: 1 : 1.008950371 This ratio is acceptably close to 1:1 so I assume the formula is of the form HnOn where n is a small integer. Let's initially assume that n is 1, so the mass would be 1.00794 + 15.999 = 17.00694 Obviously 17 is far smaller than 34.1. So let's divide 34.1 by 17.00694 and see what n should be: 34.1 / 17.00694 = 2.005063815 So the formula we want is H2O2, which is hydrogen peroxide.</span>

Which two properties are used to define matter?
Fantom [35]
The two properties which are used to define matter are that it has mass and it takes up space. The other properties do not necessarily apply to each matter. Such some matter can be a conductor of heat (such as metal) and some not (such as non metals). Likewise, some matter can be buoyant and float on liquid of density more than it but others would not on the liquids of density less than it. In-fact not all the matters are conductors of energy (such as heat, sound, electricity) or at-least a very poor conductor of energy and tend to find application as insulating agents (non conductors). So the only thing which is necessarily true is that the matter would definitely have mass in even their minutest form as atom and would take up some space.

For a reaction Y → X with a very high equilibrium constant, K, which of the following is true? You can refer to the following tw
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:The amount of product will be higher than the amount of substrate at equilibrium

Explanation:

Recall that the equilibrium constant K depends on the amounts of reactants and products present in the system at equilibrium.

Considering the equation; K = [X]/[Y], as the concentration of X increases above that of Y, the equilibrium constant K becomes very high, hence the answer above.

Why are the transition metals not isoelectronic with noble gas atoms?
V125BC [204]
The atoms and ions that have the similar electron configuration are named isoelectronic. The common ions of representative elements are isoelectronic with a noble gas. When forming ions, transition metals be unable to find their valence s-sublevel electrons before they lose their d-sub level electrons.
