How many molecules are in 0.500 mole of N2O5?

When a compound such as X2Z4 is created, what would be the correct simplified chemical formula?

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

XZ2

Explanation:

There are different ways in which compounds can be represented. Broadly, we have three different types of formula;

- Structural formular: This shows how th atoms in te compound are connected to each other.

- Molecular formular: This shows the actual number of atoms of element present in the compound

- Empirical Formular: This is the simplest formular of a compound. It basically shows the number of atoms in simple ration to each other.

This question requires us to input the empirical formular;

X2Z4

The ratio of the elements is; 2 : 4 which can be simplified into 1 : 2

This means the empirical formular is XZ2

What is the empirical formula for a compound that is 31.9% potassium, 28.9% chlorine, and 39.2% oxygen?

notsponge [240]

The empirical formula for a compound is KClO3

Explanation
find the moles of each element
moles = % composition/molar mass

molar mass of of potassium =39g/mol ,chlorine = 35.5 g/mol, oxygen =16 g/mol

moles of potassium = 31.9 / 39 = 0.818 moles
moles of chlorine = 28.9/35.5 = 0.814 moles
moles of oxygen = 39.2/ 16 = 2.45 moles

find the mole ratio by dividing with the smallest mole = 0.814 moles

potassium = 0.818/0.814 =1
chlorine = 0.814/0.814 = 1
oxygen = 2.45 /0.814 =3

the empirical formula is therefore = KClO3

Alveoli are tiny sacs of air in the lungs. Their average diameter is 4.50 × 10−5 m. Calculate the uncertainty in the velocity of

Arisa [49]

Answer: The uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is $4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

Explanation:

The diameter of the molecule will be equal to the uncertainty in position.

The equation representing Heisenberg's uncertainty principle follows:

$\Delta x.\Delta p=\frac{h}{2\pi}$

where,

$\Delta x$ = uncertainty in position = d = $4.50\times 10^{-5}m$

$\Delta p$ = uncertainty in momentum = $m\Delta v$

m = mass of oxygen molecule = $5.30\times 10^{-26}kg$

h = Planck's constant = $6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg\times \Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s}{2\times 3.14}\\\\\Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2}{2\times 3.14\times 4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg}=4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

Hence, the uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is $4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

Please help Explain why a molecule that has polar bonds can be a polar molecule.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Well, obviously a molecule with polar bonds can be polar in itself. It's like saying I am an atheltic person who can just reach the basketball rim with my head and also I can dunk.

But if the question is how can a molecule that in non-polar have polar bonds, well, its because the polar bonds' dipole cancels each other out. It's like a tight rope. If a person pulls in one direction, it intuitively, the rope would go in that direction. However, if a person pulls in the other direction with the same amount of force, the rope stays still. This is the same case. Although molecules can have different electronegativities, the pull of electrons in one direction is cancelled out by a pull in the opposite direction, making the net dipole 0.

This is common for main VSERP shaped molecules like linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral.
