To get the ∆S of the reaction, we simply have to add the ∆S of the reactants and the ∆S of the products. Then, we get the difference between the ∆S of the products and the ∆S of the products. If the <span>∆S is negative, then the reaction spontaneous. If the otherwise, the reaction is not spontaneous.</span>
Answer is: <span>the pH value(level) is the independent variable.</span><span>
</span>
Missing question: <span>We conducted an experiment where we added 0.5 g of lactose to 5 different test tubes all containing 5 different pH levels. What is the independent variable?
In this experiment pH level changes, so results depend on different pH values.
Mass of lactose is same during experiment,so t</span>he number of molecules of product formed per minute is the <span>dependent variable.</span>
Well, if you look at group 1 of the periodic table, you will notice a thrend. All elements in group 1 have 1 valence / outer electron. Then you look at period 2, 3, 4 and so on, you will see that the group number corresponds the number of valence/ outershell electrons. Hence, the group determines the electron(s) on the outershell.
The empirical formula is XeO₃.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Assume 100 g of the compound is present. This changes the percents to grams:
Given mass in g:
Xenon = 73.23 g
Oxygen = 26.77 g
We have to convert it to moles.
Xe = 73.23/
131.293 = 0.56 moles
O = 26.77/ 16 = 1.67 moles
Divide by the lowest value, seeking the smallest whole-number ratio:
Xe = 0.56/ 0.56 = 1
O = 1.67/ 0.56 = 2.9 ≈3
So the empirical formula is XeO₃.
