The answer is CH₃O₆


An empirical formula is the simplest ratio. So, let's simplify the ratio

14 : 42 : 84

All numbers are divisible by 14, therefore:

14 : 42 : 84 = (14/14) : (42/14) : (84:14) = 1 : 3 : 6

So, it contains 1 C-atom, 3 H-atoms, and 6 O-atoms

C:H:O = 14:42:84 = 7:21:42 = 1:3:6

CH₃O₆

How many covalent bonds does oxygen form if each of its unpaired electrons participate in one bond?
ICE Princess25 [194]
The oxygen atom has 4 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons found in the outermost shell of an atom. These are the electrons that participate in chemical reactions during bonding. Since 4 electrons make up 2 pairs, an oxygen atom is capable of making <em>2 covalent bonds</em>.

You have 4 moles of a gas in a 50 L container held at 2 atm pressure. Currently the temperature is 27 ºC. R = 0.0821 L*atm/(mol*
Mariulka [41]
The formula used for determining gas pressure, volume and temperature interaction would be PV=nRT. 

<span>• What is the temperature in Kelvins?
</span>You already right at this part. Kelvin temperature formula from celsius should be:
K= C+273.15= 
<span>K= 27 +273.15 = 300.15 
It is important to remember that the formula in this question is using Kelvin unit at temperature, not Celcius or Fahrenheit.
</span>
<span>• Assuming that everything else remains constant, what will happen to the pressure if the temperature decreases to -15 ºC?
</span>In this case, the temperature is decreased from 27C into -15C and you asked the change in the pressure.
Using PV=nRT formula, you can derive that the temperature will be directly related to pressure. If the temperature decreased, the pressure will be decreased too. 

<span> If you increase the number of moles to 6 moles, increase temperature to 400K and reduce the volume to 25 L, what will the new pressure be?
</span>PV=nRT
P= nRT/V
P= 6 moles* <span>0.0821 L*atm/(mol*K) * 400K/25L= 7.8816 atm</span>

Which of the following is NOT true of white dwarfs?
liq [111]

Answer:

A white dwarf is what stars like the Sun become after they have exhausted their nuclear fuel. Near the end of its nuclear burning stage, this type of star expels most of its outer material, creating a planetary nebula. Only the hot core of the star remains. ... That means a white dwarf is 200,000 times as dense.

Explanation:

they are cold

they are about the size of Earth

these both are not true

Why do you think large differences in temperature between the wet bulb and dry bulb thermometers are possible only at higher tem
olganol [36]

Answer:

This is the temperature indicated by a moistened thermometer bulb exposed to the air flow. The evaporation is reduced when the air contains more water vapor. The wet bulb temperature is always lower than the dry bulb temperature but will be identical with 100% relative humidity.
