Answer:

The empirical formula is CH2O, and the molecular formula is some multiple of this

Explanation:

In 100 g of the unknown, there are 40.0⋅g12.011⋅g⋅mol−1 C;  6.7⋅g1.00794⋅g⋅mol−1 H; and  53.5⋅g16.00⋅g⋅mol−1 O.

We divide thru to get, C:H:O = 3.33:6.65:3.34. When we divide each elemental ratio by the LOWEST number, we get an empirical formula of CH2O, i.e. near enough to WHOLE numbers. Now the molecular formula is always a multiple of the empirical formula; i.e. (EF)n=MF.So 60.0⋅g⋅mol−1=n×(12.011+2×1.00794+16.00)g⋅mol−1.Clearly n=2, and the molecular formula is 2×(CH2O) = CxHyOz.

Andru [333]

Answer:

By contracting, muscles pull on bones and allow the body to move. When you want to bend your elbow, your biceps muscle contracts, and, at the same time, the triceps muscle relaxes. The biceps is the flexor, and the triceps is the extensor of your elbow joint.

17. Write the molecular balanced equation for the recovering of copper metal. 18. Write the complete ionic balanced equation for
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

17. it goes from solid copper to aqueous copper:

Cu(s) --> Cu₂(aq) + 2e⁻

18. complete ionic:

Cu(s) --> Cu₂(aq) + 2e⁻

19. net ionic, must include only reacting species, so

Cu(s) --> Cu₂(aq) + 2e⁻

20. this type of reaction is dissolution reaction(redox reaction)

copper reduced from Cu²⁺ to Cu.
