When two atoms of this element move towards each other, they will combine in a covalent bond to form a diatomic molecule.

Looking at the electron configuration of the atoms; 1s2 2s2 2p4, we can see that these are atoms of elements in group 16. The elements in group 16 has a general outer electronic configuration of ns2np4. They have a valency of 2.

When two atoms of this element approach each other, they will combine in a covalent bond to form a compound. If this element is depicted as X, the compound formed is X2.

Ron and Hermione begin with 1.50 g of the hydrate copper(II)sulfate ∙ x-hydrate (CuSO4 ∙ xH2O), where x is an integer. Part of t
Gwar [14]

Answer

5

Explanation:

We can go about this using the percentage compositions.

First, we calculate the percentage composition of the copper sulphate. This is obtainable by using the mass.

0.96/1.5 * 100 = 64%

Hence the percentage by mass of the water present is 36%

The molar mass of the anhydrous sulphate is 64 + 32 +4(16) = 160g/mol

The molar mass of the water is 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Not forgetting that it is in multiples of x, the total molar mass of the water is 18x moles

The total mass of the copper sulphate hydrate is 160+ 18x

Now how do we get x? Like it is said earlier, the percentage composition is constant.

Hence, 64/100 * (160 + 18x) = 160

16000 = 64(160 + 18x)

16000 = 10,240 + 1152x

16,000 - 10,240 = 1152x

1152x = 5760

x = 5760/1152

x = 5

According to the law of conservation of mass, if an element A has an atomic mass of 2 mass units and element B has an atomic mas
LenaWriter [7]
The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed. Since we have 2 g/mol of A and 3 g/mol of B then AB should be equal to the sum of their molar mass that is 

2 g/mol + 3 g/mol = 5 g/mol AB

for the case of A2B3

A2 = 2 * 2 = 4 g/mol
B3 = 3 * 3 = 9 g/mol

therefore A2B3 = 13 g/mol

what can you say about the average distance from the nuclease of an electron the 2's orbital as compared with a 3s orbital
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

A 3s orbital is at a greater average distance from the nucleus than a 2s orbital

Explanation:

As the principal quantum number n increases, the distance of the orbital from the nucleus increases. Hence if we consider the 2s and 3s orbitals, it is easy to see that the 3s orbital is at a greater distance from the nucleus than the 2s orbitals.

This is clearly seen when we plot the radial distribution against the distance from the nucleus. This enables us to visualize the region in space in which an electron may be found.

A compound composed of 3.3% H, 19.3% C, and 77.4% O3.3% H, 19.3% C, and 77.4% O has a molar mass of approximately 60 g/mol.. Wha
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Molecular formula of the compound = H₂CO₃

Explanation:

First, the empirical formula of the compound is determined

Percentage by mass of each element is given as shown below:

H = 3.3% ; C = 19.9%; O = 77.4%

Mole ratio of the elements= percentage mass/ molar mass

H = 3.3/ 1 = 3.3

C = 19.3/12 = 1.6

O = 77.4/16 = 4.8

whole number ratio is obtained by dividing through with the smallest ratio

H = 3.3/1.6; C = 1.6/1.6; O = 4.8/1.6

H : C : O = 2 : 1 : 3

Empirical formula = H₂CO₃

Molecular formula/mass = n(empirical formula/mass)

60 = n(2*1 + 12*1 + 16*3)

60 = n(62)

n = 60/62 = 0.96

n is approximately = 1

Therefore, molecular formula of the compound = (H₂CO₃) * 1

Molecular formula of the compound = H₂CO₃
