What is the empirical formula of a compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in the ratio 14:42:84? C14H42O84

Chemistry

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

If you were to conduct an experiment to answer the question, "Does the volume of a caffeinated drink affect your reaction time?”
Ann [662]

Answer:

A Type of Drink

Explanation:

A controlled variable remains constant throughout the experiment.

In such experiment, you'd test the volume of one single caffeinated drink. You'd have to use the same type of drink every trial.

Why do a planets speed change in orbit
gayaneshka [121]

According to Kepler's  second law of orbital motion, a plane's orbital speed changes , depending on how far it is from the sun. The closer a planet is to the sun, the stronger the sun's gravitational pull on it, and the faster the planet moves.  The farther away from the sun, the weaker the sun's gravitational pull and the slower it moves in its orbit.

The orbit of a planet around the sun is not  a perfect circle, but  an ellipse - a flattened circle.

What happens to iron when it melts?
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

B. It undergoes a physical change.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since we know that chemical changes lead to the formation of new atoms and/or compounds due to the bonds rearrangement of the initial substances and the physical changes occur without changing the composition of the initial substances, we can infer that, since melting is a process that changes the phase of matter from solid to liquid without changing the identity of the initial substance, the answer to this question would be B. It undergoes a physical change. because the other options describe chemical changes.

Best regards!

Which symbol can be used to indicate the pressure at which a chemical reaction is carried out? 25 degrees Celsius over a right a
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

2 atm

Explanation:

Chemical reactions are carried out at a certain rate. Sometimes that rate is quite slow, so we want to speed things up, which is usually used by increasing temperature, increasing pressure or adding a catalyst (a substance that increases the rate without changing itself).

If this is the case, then, when writing a chemical equation, we state these special conditions over a right arrow.

Now let's look at the answers:

- 25°C is a value and unit of temperature

- ∆ is a symbol that denotes change

- 2 atm is a value and unit of pressure (atmosphere is old unit for pressure)

- Pt is a chemical symbol for platinum, an element often used as a catalyst.

So, the correct answer is C) 2 atm
