Answer:
The empirical formula of this substance is:

Explanation:
To find the empirical formula of this substance we need the molecular weight of the elements Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen, we can find this information in the periodic table:
- C: 12.01 g/mol
- H: 1.00 g/mol
- O: 15.99 g/mol
With the information in this exercise we can suppose in 100 g of the substance we have:
C: 48.64 g
H: 8.16 g
O: 43.2 g (100 g - 48.64g - 8.16g= 43.2 g)
Now, we need to divide these grams by the molecular weight:

We need to divide these results by the minor result, in this case O=2.70 mol

We need to find integer numbers to find the empirical formula, for this reason we multiply by 2:

This numbers are very close to integer numbers, so we can find the empirical formula as subscripts in the chemical formula:

Answer:
Have the same number of electrons in their outer energy levels
Explanation:
Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electron(s) in their outermost shell.
Chlorine and Iodine have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electron in their outermost shell. This can be seen from their electronic configuration as shown below:
Cl (17) => 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁵
I (53) => [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s²5p⁵
From the above illustration:
Outer shell of Cl (3s²3p⁵) = 2 + 5 = 7 electrons
Outer shell of I (5s²5p⁵) = 2 + 5 = 7 electrons
Since they have the same number of valence electrons, therefore, they will have similar chemical properties.
Answer:
a. The original temperature of the gas is 2743K.
b. 20atm.
Explanation:
a. As a result of the gas laws, you can know that the temperature is inversely proportional to moles of a gas when pressure and volume remains constant. The equation could be:
T₁n₁ = T₂n₂
<em>Where T is absolute temperature and n amount of gas at 1, initial state and 2, final states.</em>
<em />
<em>Replacing with values of the problem:</em>
T₁n₁ = T₂n₂
X*7.1g = (X+300)*6.4g
7.1X = 6.4X + 1920
0.7X = 1920
X = 2743K
<h3>The original temperature of the gas is 2743K</h3><h3 />
b. Using general gas law:
PV = nRT
<em>Where P is pressure (Our unknown)</em>
<em>V is volume = 2.24L</em>
<em>n are moles of gas (7.1g / 35.45g/mol = 0.20 moles)</em>
R is gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK
And T is absolute temperature (2743K)
P*2.24L = 0.20mol*0.082atmL/molK*2743K
<h3>P = 20atm</h3>

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I would go with C) NaCl.
NaCl is a salt, and that is used to melt the ice on the roads. Hope this helps!
