Calcium has a high melting point which is about 842°C.

This is coz Calcium atoms have smaller radii since they have also a greater nuclear charge.

3. Does the siren of a moving police car seem to change pitch to the
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

As the police car moves towards them, the pitch of the police car's siren goes up because the sound waves get closer together in front of the police car. When the police car moves away from the person, the pitch goes down because the waves spread out behind the police and that makes the frequency go down.

Gallium arsenide, GaAs, has gained widespread use in semiconductor devices that convert light and electrical signals in fiber-op
stira [4]

Answer:

Five peaks  

Explanation:

GaAs would show two peaks:

Ga-69 + As-75 = 144

Ga-71 + As-75 = 146

Their intensities are in the ratio 60 : 40 = 100:67.

Ga₂S₂ would show three peaks:

Ga-69 + Ga-69 + 2As-75 = (Ga-69)₂(As-75)₂ = 288

Ga-69 + Ga-71 + 2As-75 = (Ga-69)(Ga-71(As-75)₂ = 290

Ga-71 + Ga-71 + 2As-75 = (Ga-71)₂(As-75)₂ = 292

Their relative intensities are in the ratio

(60 + 40)² = 60² : 2×60×40 : 40² = 3600 : 4800 : 1600 = 75 : 100 : 33

A spectrum of a mixture of GaAs and Ga₂As₂ would show five peaks:

Two at m/e 144 and 146 with intensity ratios 100: 67 and

Three at m/e 288, 290, and 292 with intensity ratios 75:100 :33.

We cannot predict the absolute sizes of the peaks because we do not know the relative amounts of GaAs and GaAs₂.

What is the empirical formula of a compound that contains 49.4% K, 20.3% S, and 30.3% by mass? A) KSO3 B) K2SO3 C) KSO2 D) KSO E
yulyashka [42]

Answer: K_2SO_3.

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of K = 49.4 g

Mass of S = 20.3 g

Mass of O = 30.3 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of K=\frac{\text{ given mass of K}}{\text{ molar mass of K}}= \frac{49.4g}{40g/mole}=1.23moles

Moles of S= \frac{\text{ given mass of S}}{\text{ molar mass of S}}= \frac{20.3g}{32g/mole}=0.63moles[/tex]

Moles of O = \frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{30.3g}{16g/mole}=1.89moles[/tex]

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For K = \frac{1.23}{0.63}=2

For S =\frac{0.63}{0.63}=1

For O =\frac{1.89}{0.63}=3

The ratio of K: S:O = 2: 1: 3

Hence the empirical formula is K_2SO_3.
