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

Answer:

1.76

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

<em>A chemist dissolves 660.mg of pure hydroiodic acid in enough water to make up 300.mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>

<em />

Step 1: Calculate the molarity of HI(aq)

M = mass of solute / molar mass of solute × liters of solution

M = 0.660 g / 127.91 g/mol × 0.300 L

M = 0.0172 M

Step 2: Write the acid dissociation reaction

HI(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + I⁻(aq)

HI is a strong acid, so [H⁺] = 0.0172 M

Step 3: Calculate the pH

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 0.0172

pH = 1.76

Determine the relative amounts (in terms of volume fractions) for a 15 wt% sn-85 wt% pb alloy at 100°c. the densities of tin an
nikdorinn [45]
Volume fraction = volume of the element / volume of the alloy

Volume = density * mass

Base: 100 grams of alloy

mass of tin = 15 grams

mass of lead = 85 grams

volume = mass / density

Volume of tin = 15g / 7.29 g/cm^3 = 2.06 cm^3

Volume of lead = 85 g / 11.27 g/cm^3 = 7.54 cm^3

Volume fraction of tin = 2.06 cm^3 / (2.06 cm^3 + 7.54 cm^3) = 0.215

Volume fraction of lead = 7.54 cm^3 / (2.06 cm^3 + 7.54 cm^3) = 0.785

As you can verify the sum of the two volume fractions equals 1: 0.215 + 0.785 = 1.000
