Answer:

The simplest formula of this compound is XY2Z4

We would have 2.352 moles of Z in a sample that contains 0.588 moles X

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A compound contains 3 elements

X = 0.221 mol

Y = 0.442 mol

Z = 0.884 mol

Step 2: Calculate the mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

X = 0.221/0.221 = 1

Y = 0.442/0.221 = 2

Z = 0.884/0.221 = 4

The empirical formula is XY2Z4

This means for each 1 X atom we have 2 Y atoms and 4 Z atoms.

If we have 0.588 moles X this means we have 0.588*2 = 1.176 moles of Y

And 0.588 *4 = 1.176*2 = 2.352 moles of Z

The simplest formula of this compound is XY2Z4

We would have 2.352 moles of Z in a sample that contains 0.588 moles X

Answer:

XY₂Z₄

2.35 mol Z

Explanation:

A sample of the compound contains 0.221 mol X, 0.442 mol Y, and 0.884 mol Z. We can find the simplest formula (empirical formula) by <em>dividing all the numbers of moles by the smallest one</em>.

X: 0.221/0.221 = 1

Y: 0.442/0.221 = 2

Z: 0.884/0.221 = 4

The simplest formula is XY₂Z₄.

The molar ratio of X to Z is 1:4. The moles of Z in a sample that contained 0.588 moles of X is:

0.588 mol X × (4 mol Z/1 mol X) = 2.35 mol Z

The diagram below shows the different phase transitions that occur in matter. Three bars are shown labeled Solid, Liquid, and Ga
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Molecules are speeding up as boiling occurs.

Explanation:

We have three states of matter;solid liquid and gas. Substances are found in these different states of matter according to the degree of energy and velocity of its particles. Highly energetic particles moving at high velocities are found in the gaseous state. Less energetic particles moving at lesser velocities due to intermolecular forces are found in the liquid state while particles with the least degree of freedom are found in the solid state. Solid particles do not translate but can vibrate or rotate about a fixed position.

When a liquid boils, particles at the surface of the liquid acquire sufficient energy and escape the surface of the liquid. This is because, as energy is supplied in the form of heat during boiling, molecules acquire sufficient energy to speed up their molecular motion and escape the liquid surface as vapour.

Henri becquerel and the curies found out that atoms were not indivisible and indestructible

Explanation:

The French Physicist, Henri Becquerel, created the appearance of radioactivity. He shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Marie Curie and Pierre Curie (Marie's husband) in 1903 for their work in radiation. A radionuclide will emit transmission through the process of radioactive sense.

Fluorine gas is placed in contact with calcium metal at high temperatures to produce calcium fluoride powder. What is the formul
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Upper F subscript 2 (g) plus upper C a (s) right arrow with delta above upper C a upper F subscript 2 (s).

Explanation:

This is a chemical reaction problem.

In expressing any chemical reaction, we need to understand that there are reactants and products.

  • The reactants are the species on the left hand side that are combining.
  • The products are the species on the right hand side that are formed.
  • Every chemical reaction is obeys the law of conservation of matter i.e equal number of matter on both sides.

Using the statement of this problem, we can deduce that;

 Reactants are Fluorine gas and Calcium metal

  Product is Calcium Fluoride

Note: A metal is a solid(s) and powder is a solid(s). A gas is denoted as (g). They depict the state of the species reacting.

                    F₂_{(g)}     +    Ca_{(s)}               →           CaF₂_{(s)}

We can see that equal number of atoms are on both sides of the expression.

Olin [163]
<h2>Selective & Differential Medium</h2>

Explanation:

  • Selective media allow specific types of organisms to develop, and inhibit the development of different living beings. The selectivity is cultivated in a few ways.For model, living beings that can use a given sugar are handily screened by making that sugar the main carbon source in the medium. On the other hand,selective hindrance of certain sorts of microorganisms can be accomplished by adding dyes, anti-infection agents, salts or explicit inhibitors which influence the digestion or enzyme systems of the living beings
  • Differential media are utilized to separate firmly related life forms or groups of living beings. owing to the pre of specific colors or synthetic compounds in the media, the creatures will deliver trademark changes or development designs that are utilized for ID or separation. An assortment of particular and differential media are utilized in clinical, demonstrative and water contamination research facilities, and in food and dairy laboratories
  • Selective media because elevated NaCI level is designed to help grow selective bacteria.differential media because the fermented sugar gives off a yellow halo which allows for differentiate between bacteria
