An analysis of an oxide of nitrogen with a molecular weight of 92.02 amu gave 69.57% oxygen and 30.43% nitrogen. What are the empirical and molecular formulas for this nitrogen oxide? Complete and balance the equation for its formation from the elements nitrogen and oxygen.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The empirical formula is  No2   and molecular formula is N2O4

empirical formula calculation

find the moles of each reactant

=% composition/molar mass

molar mass of oxygen=16 g/mol ,while hat of nitrogen= 14 g/mol from periodic table

moles is therefore=

                           nitrogen=  30.43/14=2.174 moles

                            oxygen=  69.57/1 6=4.348 moles

find the mole ratio by dividing each moles with smallest number of mole( 2.174)

                        nitrogen = 2.174/2.174= 1

                       oxygen = 4.348/2.174=2


The balanced equation  for its formation from the element nitrogen and oxygen is as below

N2 +2 O2 → N2O4

therefore the empirical formula= NO2

molecular  formula  calculation

[NO2] n= 92.02 amu

[(14) + (16x2)]n = 92.02 amu

46n= 92.02

divide both side by 46

n=2

therefore the molecular formula is gotten by multiplying the empirical formula by 2= [NO2]2= N2O4

Which is the safest method for diluting concentrated sulfuric acid with water?

Answers

The safest method for diluting concentrated sulfuric acid with water is to add acid to water. This way, when spill occurs, the acid is already diluted and less harmful than adding water to acid.

Which of the following is one way to prevent the corrosion of iron? A. Paint exposed iron p21 with protective paint.
B. Protect the iron from polluted air.
C. Add carbon to the iron.
D. Let the iron develop a natural coat of carbonate.

Answers

The best way to prevent the corrosion of iron is to paint the exposed iron with protective paint, because that prevents water from rusting the iron.

At the same temperature and pressure, 1.0 liter of CO(g) and 1.0 liter of CO2(g) haveA. equal masses and the same number of molecules
B. different masses and a different number of molecules
C. equal volumes and the same number of molecules
D. different volumes and a different number of molecules

Answers

Answer is C - equal volumes and the same number of molecules.

Explanation;

Let's assume that CO and CO₂ are ideal gases. Then we can use ideal gas law, PV = nRT

Where, P is the pressure of the gas (Pa), V is the volume of the gas (m³), n is the number of moles of gas (mol), R is the universal gas constant ( 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹) and T is temperature in Kelvin.

The temperature and the pressure of the both gases are same. Volume is also same as 1.0 L. R is a constant. So according to the formula, both gases have same number of moles. According to the Avogadro's constant, 1 mole has 6.022 x 10²³ particles.

number of molecules = Avogadro's constant x number of moles.

Hence, under the same conditions both gases have same number of molecules.

C is the correct answer. All gases have the same volume under the same conditions.. This is just their nature. And one liter of a gas has the same number of molecules of another gas

A sample of gas in a balloon has an initial temperature of 2.0 ∘C and a volume of 1.53×103 L . If the temperature changes to 99 ∘C , and there is no change of pressure or amount of gas, what is the new volume, V2, of the gas?

Answers

(V1/T1)=(V2/T2) this is Charles' law where T is in Kelvin
So: (1.53x10^3)/(275K) = V2/(372K)
V2= 2.07x10^3L

The clown fish hides inside the poisonous tentacles of the sea anemone. Since most other fish are unable to survive the anemone’s stings, the clown fish is protected from predators. In addition, it can feed on the leftovers from the anemone’s meals. This symbiotic relationship is called _____________________.A.
parasitism
B.
amensalism
C.
commensalism
D.
symbiosis

Answers

Answer: C: commensalism   please give me hearts and stars because the answer is right!!

Explanation:

The relationship between the clown fish and the deadly sea anemone can be classified as commensalism. Though the sea anemone’s tentacles are covered with thousands of nematocysts (tiny, venomous harpoons), the clown fish is protected by a thick coat of mucus and is not harmed by the anemone’s venom. The clown fish is therefore protected from predators and is also able to get leftover food from the anemone's meals. Since the clown fish ultimately benefits from this arrangement and the sea anemone neither benefits nor suffers because of the clown fish, the relationship is commensalistic.

Final answer:

The clown fish and the sea anemone exhibit a mutualistic relationship, where both organisms benefit. However, among the options provided in the question, the most accurate is 'symbiosis', which broadly denotes a close, long-term interaction between different biological species.

Explanation:

The symbiotic relationship between the clown fish and the sea anemone is referred to as mutualism. This term, which is missing from the options, indicates a relationship in which both organisms benefit. The clown fish is protected from predators and has access to food remnants, whereas the sea anemone gets cleaned by the clown fish, which removes parasites and debris. Among the options provided, the closest would be symbiosis (option D), as it describes a close, long-term interaction between different biological species, which can include mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism.

At standard pressure when NaCl is added to water,the solution will have a

Answers

Answer: lower freezing point and a higher boiling point than water

Explanation:

Addition of a non volatile solute leads to elevation in boiling point and depression in freezing point.

This increase in boiling point arises because particles of the non-volatile solute occupy the surface of solution due to which solvent particles can not escape out of the solution.  Hence, high amount of heat is required for the solute particles to escape out of the solution. Therefore, an increase in boiling point will occur.

Also as vapor pressure of solution becomes less, the freezing point gets depressed as freezing point is the temperature at which vapor pressure of solid becomes equal to the vapor pressure of solution.

Thus at standard pressure when NaCl is added to water,the solution will have a lower freezing point and a higher boiling point than water
