The molar mass of carbon is 12, hydrogen is 1, and nitrogen is 14, hence the ratio are:

 

C = 38.65 / 12 = 3.22

H = 16.25 / 1 = 16.25

N = 45.09 / 14 = 3.22

 

Divide the three by the lowest ratio which is 3.22:

 

C = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1

H = 16.25 / 3.22 = 5

N = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1

 

So the empirical formula is:

CHN

Wind blowing sediment against rock or land area or sand blasting is called
artcher [175]

The correct answer is - deflation.

The process of deflation can be caused by the winds. It is an erosive process in which the main role has the wind that is carrying lot of sediment in the shape of very small particles with it.

Through this process, the winds manage to erode large areas, especially in the drier places where the vegetation is very sparsely distributed. By this type of erosion, the winds manage to make lot of hollows that can range significantly in size. The hollows made by the deflation can be anywhere from few cm deep and several meters long, up to several km long and 50-60 meters of depth.

This is the process that is responsible for the creation of most of the oasis in the largest desert in the world, Sahara, some even being lowered enough to be under the sea level.

Which one of the following compounds is not covalent?
denpristay [2]
KCI is not a covalent compound, it is an ionic compound. 
A covalent compound is one in which each of the atoms involved contribute a specific number of electrons for sharing in order to from stable compound while an ionic compound is a compound formed when one atom donates electron to the other atom in the compound, in order to attain stability.  The compounds given in options A, B and D shared electrons while in KCl, potassium donates an electron to chlorine.

The freezing point of a nonelectrolyte solution containing 30.0 g of a solute dissolved in 250.0 g of water is observed to be -2
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Molar mass of solute is 89.28 g/m

Explanation:

Colligative property of freezing point depression to solve this:

ΔT = Kf . m . i

i = number of particles, dissolved in solution. In this case, it is a nonelectrolyte, so i = 1.

m = molalilty (mol of solute/1kg of solvent

ΔT = T° freeze pure solvent - T° freeze solution

0°C - (-2.50°C) = 1.86 °C/m . m

2.50°C / 1.86 m/°C = m

1.34 mol solute/kg solvent = m

This means, that in 1000 g of solvent, we have 1.34 moles but we have 250 g of solvent, so let's make a rule of three.

1000 g ____ 1.34 moles

250 g _____(2.50 . 1.34) / 1000 = 0.336 moles

To find the molar mass, we divide mass / moles

30 g/ 0.336 moles = 89.28 g/m
