Answer:

The empirical formula of the solid metal oxide is : MO

Explanation:

M atom is present in the every corner and in the center of every face.

Number of m atoms :

\frac{1}{8}\times 8+\frac{1}{2}\times 6=4

Number of tetrahedral voids in F.C.C = 2n = 2 × 4 = 8

Oxide ion is present in the half of the tetrahedral void

Number oxide ions = \frac{8}{2}=4

The molecular formula of the solid metal oxide is : M_4O_4=MO

The empirical formula represent the lowest number of atoms present in a compound.

The empirical formula of the solid metal oxide is : MO

The speed of light in a vacuum is 2.998 × 10 8 8 m/s. How long does it take for light to circumnavigate the Earth, which has a c
svp [43]

Answer:- 0.134 seconds

Solution:- The speed is given as 2.988*10^8\frac{m}{s} and the circumference is 24900 miles which is same as the distance light have to covered. It asks to calculate the time required to cover this distance by the light.

We need to do unit conversion from miles to meter as the speed is given in meter per second.

1 mile = 1609.34 meter

So, 24900mile(\frac{1609.34meter}{mile})

= 40072566 meters

Know that, speed=\frac{distance}{time}

It's rearranged to time as, time=\frac{distance}{speed}

Let's plug in the values in it:

time=\frac{40072566meter}{2.988*10^8\frac{meter}{second}}

= 0.134 seconds

So, the light would take 0.134 seconds to travel the mentioned speed. The answer without the unit is 0.134.

At which of the following temperatures is the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance the least? 23.2 °C 35.2 °C
svp [43]
At 15.2°C. Kinetic energy of molecules highly depends on the temperature — the warmer it is, the faster the molecules will move, especially in fluids (gases and liquids). If we consider that the formula for average kinetic energy of molecules is:

Ek = 3/2*k*T where k is Boltzmanns constant and 3/2 is, well, 3/2, kinetic energy of molecules really only depends on the temperature.

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 670g of water from 25.7"C to 66,0°C? The specific heat
inna [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

q= mc theta

where,

Q = heat gained

m = mass of the substance = 670g

c = heat capacity of water= 4.1 J/g°C    

theta =Change in temperature=( 66-25.7)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the amount of heat needed.

q= mctheta

q=670*4.1*(66-25.7)

  =670*4.1*40.3

=110704.1

To show the electron configuration for an atom, when would it be better to use an orbital notation than to use a written configu
VikaD [51]
The answer is <span>D.when the aim is to show electron distributions in shells. This is because there are some instances when elements don't possess a regular or normal electron configuration. There are those who have special electron configurations wherein a lower subshell isn't completely filled before occupying a higher subshell. It is best to visualize such cases using the orbital notation.</span>
