Answer:

Option A. FeCl3

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of iron (Fe) = 6.25g

Mass of the compound formed = 18g

From the question, we were told that the compound formed contains chlorine. Therefore the mass of chlorine is obtained as follow

Mass of chlorine (Cl) = Mass of compound formed – Mass of iron.

Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 18 – 6.25

Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g

The compound therefore contains:

Iron (Fe) = 6.25g

Chlorine (Cl) = 11.75g

The empirical formula for the compound can be obtained by doing the following:

Step 1:

Divide by their molar mass

Fe = 6.25/56 = 0.112

Cl = 11.75/35.5 = 0.331

Step 2:

Divide by the smallest

Fe = 0.112/0.112 = 1

Cl = 0.331/0.112 = 3

The empirical formula for the compound is FeCl3

What are the 3 critical components of an electromagnet and what purpose do they each serve?
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

A source of electricity, a wire coil, and an iron core  

Explanation:

An electromagnet has three critical components:

1. A source of electricity

This is often a battery.

It generates the electric current that produces the magnetic field.  

2. A wire coil

The wire carries the electric current.

Stacking the wire into loops makes a stronger magnetic field.

The more loops in the coil, the stronger the field.

3. An iron core

An iron core greatly increases the strength of the magnetic field within it and at its ends.

Many enzymes are inhibited irreversibly by heavy metal ions such as Hg2+ , Cu2+ , or Ag+ , which can react with essential sulfhy
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The minimum molecular weight of the enzyme is 29.82 g/mol

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Given data

The volume of the solution = 10 ml = 10*10^-3L

Molarity of the solution = 1.3 mg/ml

moles of AgNO3 added = 0.436 µmol = 0.436 * 10^-3 mmol

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the mass

Density = mass/ volume

1.3mg/mL = mass/ 10.0 mL

mass = 1.3mg/mL *10.0 mL = 13mg

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate minimum molecular weight

Molecular weight = mass of the enzyme / number of moles

Molecular weight of the enzyme = 13mg/ 0.436 * 10^-3 mmol

Molecular weight = 29.82 g/mole

The minimum molecular weight of the enzyme is 29.82 g/mol

Why does silver iodide have a higher melting point than vanillin
MAVERICK [17]
AgI has a higher melting point than vanillin because it is an ionic compound. The bonds are held more tightly together than in vanillin because it is a covalent compound. Ionic bonds have a higher melting point because the electrons are being transferred from one atom to the other.
