Answer:

H₂SO₄

Explanation:

We have a compound formed by 0.475 g H, 7.557 g S, 15.107 g O. In order to determine the empirical formula, we have to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Calculate the total mass of the compound

Total mass = mass H + mass S + mass O = 0.475 g + 7.557 g + 15.107 g

Total mass = 23.139 g

Step 2: Determine the percent composition.

H: (0.475g/23.139g) × 100% = 2.05%

S: (7.557g/23.139g) × 100% = 32.66%

O: (15.107g/23.139g) × 100% = 65.29%

Step 3: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

H: 2.05/1.01 = 2.03

S: 32.66/32.07 = 1.018

O: 65.29/16.00 = 4.081

Step 4: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one

H: 2.03/1.018 ≈ 2

S: 1.018/1.018 = 1

O: 4.081/1.018 ≈ 4

The empirical formula of the compound is H₂SO₄.

The container with chalk powder will contain the least amount of water, because it absorbs water, but the containers with honey and cocunut oil will conserve their amount of water, because they will prevent the water evaporation (especially cocunut oil because it will be on the top side of the container).

Tamiku [17]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The table above summarizes data given to a student to evaluate the type of change that took place when substance X was mixed with water. The student claimed that the data did not provide enough evidence to determine whether a chemical or physical change took place and that additional tests were needed. Which of the following identifies the best way to gather evidence to support the type of change that occurred when water and Xwere mixed?

A. Measuring the melting point of the mixture of water and X

B. Adding another substance to the mixture of water and X to see whether a solid forms

C Measuring and comparing the masses of the water, X, and the mixture of water and X

D Measuring the electrical conductivities of X and the mixture of water and X

Answer:

D Measuring the electrical conductivities of X and the mixture of water and X

Explanation:

Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce the table here. However, from the table, the temperature of the of the mixture of the solid X and water was 101.6°C. This is above the boiling point of water and way below the temperature of the solid X.

This goes a long way to suggest that there was some kind of interaction between the water and X which accounted for the observed temperature of the system of X in water.

The only way we can be able to confirm if X actually dissolved in water is to measure the conductivity of the water. dissolved solids increase the conductivity of water.

The incomplete table below shows selected characteristics of gas laws.

Elenna [48]

Explanation :

In the given case different law related to gas is given. The attached figure shows the required solution.

Boyle's law states that the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas i.e.

$P\propto \dfrac{1}{V}$

$PV=k$

k is a constant.

Charle's law states that the volume of directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

$V\propto T$

$V=kT$

Combined gas law is the combination of the pressure, volume and the temperature of the gas i.e.

$\dfrac{PV}{T}=k$

Hence, this is the required solution.

The graph shows the distribution of energy in the particles of two gas samples at different temperatures, T1 and T2. A, B, and C

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The average speed of gas particles at T₂ is lower than the average speed of gas particles at T₁.

Explanation:

Particles A and C are shown as if they are on the same vertical line, which means with the same kinetic energy. Both particle A and C are to the lett of particle B, which means that the formers have a lower kinetic energy than the latter.

Since the likelyhood of a particle to participate in the reaction increases with the kinetic energy, particle B is more likely to participate in the reaction than particles A and C. Hence, the first choice is incorrect.

The graph, although not perfectly symmetrical, does show a bell shape, hence there are many particles will low kinetic energy and many particles with high kinetic energy. You cannot assert that most of the particles of the two gases have high high speeds. Hence, second statement is incorrect, too.

At high values of kinetic energy (toward the right of the curve), the line labeled T₁ is higher than the line labeled T₂, meaning that at T₁ more particles have an elevated kinetic energy than the number of particles that have an elevated kinetic energy at T₂.

On the other hand, at low values of kinetic energy (toward the left of the curve) the line T₂ is higher than the line T₁, meaning that at T₂ more particles have a low kinetic energy than the number of particles that have low kinetic energy at T₁.

Hence, the last two paragraphs are telling that the average kinetic energy of gas particles at T₂ is is lower than the average kinetic energy of gas particles at T₁.

Since the average speed is proportional the the square root of the temperature, the same trend for the average kinetic energy is true for the average speed, and you conclude that the last statement is true: "The average speed of gas particles at T₂ is lower than the average speed of gas particles at T₁".

Since more particles at T₁ have high kinetic energy than the number of particles at T₂ that have a high kinetic energy, more particles of gas at T₁ are likely to participate in the reaction than the gas at T₂, and the third statement is incorrect.
