A compound is found to contain 42.88 % carbon and 57.12 % oxygen by weight. To answer the questions, enter the elements in the o

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The empirical formule is CO

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the mass of a compound is 100 grams

Suppose the compound contains:

42.88 % C = 42.88 grams C

57.12 % O = 57.12 grams O

Molar mass C = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass O = 16.0 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles C = mass C / molar mass C

Moles C = 42.88 grams / 12.01 g/mol

Moles C = 3.57 moles

Moles O = 57.12 grams / 16.0 g/mol

Moles O = 3.57 moles

Step 3: Calculate the mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

C: 3.57 moles / 3.57 moles = 1

O: 3.57 moles / 3.57 moles = 1

The empirical formule is CO

Compare which element would have larger first ionization energy: an alkali metal in Period 2 or an alkali metal in Period 4?

maria [59]

Answer:

An alkali metal present in period 2 have larger first ionization energy.

Explanation:

Ionization energy:

The amount of energy required to remove the electron from the atom is called ionization energy.

Trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.

Trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus. Thus alkali metal present in period 2 have larger ionization energy because of more nuclear attraction as compared to the alkali metal present in period 4.

Construct an explanation using Newton's Laws of Motion to describe the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion o

julsineya [31]

Answer:

The manner in which objects will move is determined by the answer to this question. Unbalanced forces will cause objects to change their state of motion

Explanation:

Since these two forces are of equal magnitude and in opposite directions, they balance each other.
