The empirical formula of the compound obtained from the question given is NaBrO₃

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Sodium (Na) = 15.24%
  • Bromine (Br) = 52.95%
  • Oxygen (O) = 31.81%
  • Empirical formula =?

<h3>How to determine the empirical formula </h3>

The empirical formula of the compound can be obtained as illustrated below:

Divide by their molar mass

Na = 15.24 / 22.99 = 0.663

Br = 52.95 / 79.90 = 0.663

O = 31.81 / 16 = 1.988

Divide by the smallest

Na = 0.663 / 0.663 = 1

Br = 0.663 / 0.663 = 1

O = 1.988 / 0.663 = 3

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is NaBrO₃

The following compound can be identified as
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

3: Lactone

Explanation:

Lactones are defined as carboxylic esters that contain the structure (−C(=O)−O−) which is essentially showing that an ester has now become part of the chemical structure of the ring.

Thus, looking at the question, it has the structure as defined in Lactones.

Thus, we can say that the compound is a Lactone.

What are Metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals called
Margaret [11]

Transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals because of their high ionization potential and high melting point.

On moving from left to right of the periodic table for every period, electrons fill in the same shell or orbital, with the alkali metals having the least filled outermost shells, one electron, which equates to fewer protons in them.

Consequently, they have a lesser attraction power from the nucleus, whereas, the corresponding transition metals of the same period have more protons interacting with electrons at the same distance, far from the nucleus as the alkali metals.

What is the half-life of sodium-24? EXPLAIN how you determined your answer.
liraira [26]
Half-life is basically how long it takes for a radioactive molecule to get to 1/2 of its original mass.

so if sodium 24 mass was 5g and it's half life was 24years then:

after every 24years 1/2 of 5g would have decayed. so in 48years there will only be 2.5g left.
