Answer:
C
Explanation:
Looking at the periodic table, we can see that sodium is in group 1, so a sodium ion would be Na⁺, with a charge of +1. Oxygen is in group 16, so an oxygen ion would be O²⁻, with a charge of -2.
A compound formed only by a single sodium ion and a single oxygen ion would thus have a charge of -1, and in order to have a stable ionic compound its charge must be zero.
D has a total of four significant figures.
Convert each amount of grams into moles:
I: 23.24g x 1 mol / 126.90g = 0.1831 mol I
C: 2.198 x 1 mol / 12.01g = 0.1830 mol C
N: 2.562 x 1 mol / 14.01g = 0.1829 mol N
Each element has roughly the same amount of moles, which means the whole number ratio between the elements is 1:1:1
Therefore the empirical formula is ICN
Answer:
Explanation:
Burning fossil fuels releases the carbon dioxide stored millions of years ago. ... The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased more in the northern hemisphere where more fossil fuel burning occurs. Since the Industrial Revolution the concentration globally has increased by about 40 % .
