Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Snow forms when tiny ice crystals in clouds stick together to make snowflakes.
1) Compund Ir (x) O(y)
2) Mass of iridium = mass of crucible and iridium - mass of crucible = 39.52 g - 38.26 g = 1.26 g
3) Mass of iridium oxide = mass of crucible and iridium oxide - mass of crucible = 39.73g - 38.26g = 1.47g
4) Mass of oxygen = mass of iridum oxide - mass of iridium = 1.47g - 1.26g = 0.21g
5) Convert grams to moles
moles of iridium = mass of iridium / molar mass of iridium = 1.26 g / 192.17 g/mol = 0.00656 moles
moles of oxygen = mass of oxygen / molar mass of oxygen = 0.21 g / 15.999 g/mol = 0.0131
6) Find the proportion of moles
Divide by the least of the number of moles, i.e. 0.00656
Ir: 0.00656 / 0.00656 = 1
O: 0.0131 / 0.00656 = 2
=> Empirical formula = Ir O2 (where 2 is the superscript for O)
Answer: Ir O2
Recycling!! And also planting more trees.
Hope this helps!
While the number nuclear protons as given is 34, and therefore we deal with the element selenium, there are 2 more electrons than protons, and therefore this species has an overall
2
−
charge.
We represent this selenide ion as
S
e
2

. Do I win 5 pounds?
Z= 34, therefore the atom is selenium
The group is might be labeled as VIIB or VIIA.
