Answer:

Mg₃N₂

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a chemical compound is defined as the simplest positive integer ratio of atoms present in a compound. Using molecular mass of Mg (24,305g/mol) and mass of nitrogen (14,006g/mol), moles of each element are:

0,73g × (1mol / 24,305g) = 0,03 moles of Mg

0,28g × (1mol / 14,006g) = 0,02 moles of N

Dividing each value in 0,01 to obtain natural numbers:

0,03 moles of Mg / 0,01 = 3

0,02 moles of N / 0,01 = 2.

Thus, empirical formula is: <em>Mg₃N₂</em>

I hope it helps!

Radioactive elements decay at a know rate known as half-life. Choose all of the correct statements concerning half-life. Carbon-
9966 [12]

Explanation:

Half life is simply the amount of time it takes for half of a substance to decompose.

Options;

- Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. A 30 gram sample will be 10 grams after 5,730 years. This is incorrect. After 5730 years, 15g of the sample ought to remain.

- Nickel-59 has a half-life of 76,000 years. A sample would go through 3 half-lives in 228,000 years. This is correct. 3 * 76000 = 228,000

- Hafnium-182 has a half-life of 9 million years. A 38 gram sample would be 4.75 grams in 27 million years. This is incorrect. Mass after 3 half lives (27/9) = 9.5 (38 / 2 / 2)

- Iron-60 has a half-life of 1.5 million years. In 6 million years a 40 gram sample would be reduced to 10 grams. This is incorrect. Mass after 4 half lives (6 / 1.5) = 2.5 gram (40 / 2 / 2 /2 / 2)

- Lead-202 has a half-life of 52,500 years. The original sample must have been 120 grams if you have a 60 gram sample after 105,000 years. This is incorrect. Original sampe = 240 gram. So after 2 half lives (105,000/52500), mass left = 60 (240 / 2 /2)
