NNADVOKAT [17]2 years ago

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

D.C_{4}H_{4}S

<h2>Why?</h2>

The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest formula of the same compound, if we are given the molecular formula, we can calculate the empirical formula by finding the mole ratio of each element of the compound.

So, if we know the empirical formula we will be able to get the molecular formula by multiplying it by the mole ratio.

Then, which of the options can give as a result the given molecular formula?

The answer will be D.C_{4}H_{4}S because if we multiply it by 2(mole ratio), it will give us as a result : C_{8}H_{8}S_{2}

2*(C_{4}H_{4}S)=C_{8}H_{8}S_{2}

Have a nice day!

Which of the following trends is indirectly proportional to effective nuclear charge, Zeff
Julli [10]

Answer : Option C) Atomic Size

Explanation : The atomic radius of the elements is found to be decreasing if we go from left to right in the modern periodic table. Accordingly, Z_{eff} increases as the number of shielding electrons present in the atomic nucleus of the periodic elements which lies in the same row remains constant while the number of protons in each atomic shell increases.

The effective nuclear charge Z_{eff} of an atom is defined as the net positive charge which is felt by the valence electron of the atomic element.

When Z_{eff} is observed to decrease, it is seen that the atomic radius grows in size. So, it explains the inverse relationship between both. This phenomenon occurs, because there is more screening of the electrons from the nucleus taking place, which is observed due to decrease the attraction between the electron and the nucleus.

andre [41]

Answer:

Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature.

Explanation:

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

A metal sample is heated and placed into the water in a calorimeter at room temperature. Which statement best describes how the calorimeter can be used to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal sample?

Energy transfers to the metal from the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature

. Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature.

Energy transfers to the metal from the water and calorimeter until they all reach a single temperature.

Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they all reach a single temperature.

EXPLANATION;

Using calorimeter to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal sample can be associated to the theory of conservation of energy because heat which is a form of energy is been transfer of heat between the metal to the water and the calorimeter, this process will proceed till single temperature is attained.

The change in the amount of temperature of the water in the calorimeter is measured in order to get the difference in heat change of the calorimeter water.

CHANGE IN HEAT CAN BE CALCULATED USING THE FORMULA.

Q = cmΔT where Q is the change in heat , c is the specific heat capacity and ΔT is the change in temperature

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

An octet is formed via ionic bonding when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

An octet is formed via covalent bonding when valence electrons are shared between atoms.

An octet is always formed via ionic bonding

Explanation:  The essence of bonding is stability. An octet or duplet state is formed when one or more valence electrons are shared. when the electrons are shared, the type of bond formed is a covalent bond. An octet is formed via ionic bonding when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

USPshnik [31]

The graph is not given in the question, so, the required graph is attached below:

Answer:

According to the graph, the relationship between the density of the sugar solution and the concentration of the sugar solution is directly proportional to each other as they both are increasing exponentially.

The graph shows that, the density of sugar solution will increase with the increase in concentration of sugar in the solution.
