step one
calculate the % of oxygen
from avogadro constant
1moles = 6.02 x 10 ^23 atoms
what about 4.33 x10^22 atoms
= ( 4.33 x 10^ 22 x 1 mole ) / 6.02 10^23= 0.0719 moles
mass= 0.0719 x16= 1.1504 g
% composition is therefore= ( 1.1504/3.25) x100 = 35.40%
step two
calculate the % composition of chrorine
100- (25.42 + 35.40)=39.18%
step 3
calculate the moles of each element
that is
Na = 25.42 /23=1.1052 moles
Cl= 39.18 /35.5=1.1037moles
O= 35.40/16= 2.2125 moles
step 4
find the mole ratio by dividing each mole by 1.1037 moles
that is
Na = 1.1052/1.1037=1.001
Cl= 1.1037/1.1037= 1
0=2.2125 = 2
therefore the empirical formula= NaClO2
They must have the same number of protons
Substances can change state, usually when they are heated or cooled. For example, liquid water turns into steam when it is heated enough, and it turns into ice when it is cooled enough. ... The closeness, arrangement and motion of the particles in a substance change when it changes state.
Answer:
the reactivity and the valence electrons
Explanation:
the reactivity of the elements would have played a significant role in why such elements were grouped together. the number of valence electrons dictates how reactive an element is - the less valence electrons the more reactive it is. the column, group 1 in which these elements are put together in, show that each of the elements have 1 valence electrons and are therefore reactive.
you can go on to further explain what valence electrons are, explain what the group numbers are associated with the valence electrons and how valence electrons effect reactivity. further this, talk about how the three elements have the same number of valence electrons and therefore were grouped together
