<span>If the molecular weight is 230.26 g/mol carbon = 73.03% = 230.26*73.03/100 = 168.15/12 = 14 Carbons Hydrogen = 6.13% = 230.26*6.13/100 = 14/1 = 14 Hydrogens Oxigen = 20.84% = 230.26*20.84/100 = 47.98/16 = 3 Oxygens Hence the empirical formula is C14H14O3</span>

B. inference because she drew a conclusion based on evidence.

Because the evidence was that she heard the crashing sound, and then when she came into her room saw the broken window and baseball.

It was not an observation because she did not directly see the baseball going through the window

Aneli [31]
120 x 1.05 = 126 gazelles next year.
If you times it by 105% then you get the answer of adding 5% on.

What is the empirical formula for a compound that contains 38.77% Cl and 61.23% O?
Leno4ka [110]
W(Cl)=0.3877
w(O)=0.6123
M(Cl)=35.5 g/mol
M(O)=16.0 g/mol

ClₐOₓ
M(ClₐOₓ)=35.5a+16.0x

w(Cl)=35.5a/(35.5a+16.0x)
w(O)=16.0x/(35.5a+16.0x)

solve a system of two equations with two unknowns
35.5a/(35.5a+16.0x)=0.3877
16.0x/(35.5a+16.0x)=0.6123

a=2
x=7

Cl₂O₇ is the empirical formula

A student placed 3.0 grams of Mg into some HCl in two different experiments. In each case, it reacted according to the following
lana [24]

Answer: -

A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the chemical reaction. In the first experiment it took 32 minutes for all the magnesium to react.

In the next it took 54 minutes for all the magnesium to react. So the reaction was slower the second time.

Thus a catalyst was not used.

Powdering up the Magnesium would mean increasing the surface area. More the surface area faster the reaction. Since the reaction is slowing down,

Magnesium was not powdered

If the temperature was decreased then kinetic energy would decrease of the reactant molecules and the reaction would slow down due to less number of collisions between reactant moleules.

So the temperature was decreased is a correct option.
