The empirical formula for a compound that contains 48.6%C, 8.2% H, and 43.2% S by mass is C_3H_6S.

<h3>What is the empirical formula?</h3>

An empirical formula tells us the relative ratios of different atoms in a compound.

We need to calculate the number of moles

Number of a mole of carbon =

48.6 g X (\frac{1 mole }{ 12.0107 g}) =4.05 mole

Number of a mole of hydrogen =

8.2g X (\frac{1 mole}{.00784g}) =8.14 mole

Number of moles of sulphur =

43.2g X (\frac{ mole}{32.065g}) = 1.35 mole

Dividing each mole using the smallest number that is divided by 1.35 moles.

Carbon= \frac{4.05 mole }{1.35 mole} =3

Oxygen= \frac{8.14 mole}{1.35 mole} =6

Sulfur= \frac{1.35 mole}{1.35 mole} =1

Empirical formula is C_3H_6S

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Hydrogen peroxide should be stored in

1) a cool environment

2) with amber bottles away from sunlight

3) with little drops of sodium phosphate

Explanation:

It has been confirmed that heat and light aids in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide according to the equation; 2H2O2→2 H2O + O2.

This means that hydrogen peroxide must be stored in a cool place. This will reduce its rate of decomposition. Secondly, it should be stored in amber bottles away from light since light also aids in its decomposition.

Thirdly, drops of sodium phosphate may be added to prevent its catalytic decomposition during storage.

Which of the following best describe the chronological way of specimen preparation?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

There are many reasons to examine human cells and tissues under the microscope. Medical and biological research is underpinned by knowledge of the normal structure and function of cells and tissues and the organs and structures that they make up. In the normal healthy state, the cells and other tissue elements are arranged in regular, recognizable patterns. Changes induced by a wide range of chemical and physical influences are reflected by alterations in the structure at a microscopic level, and many diseases are characterized by typical structural and chemical abnormalities that differ from the normal state. Identifying these changes and linking them to particular diseases is the basis of histopathology and cytopathology, important specializations of modern medicine. Microscopy plays an important part in haematology (the study of blood), microbiology (the study of microorganisms including parasites and viruses), and more broadly in the areas of biology, zoology, and botany. In all these disciplines, specimens are examined under a microscope.

¿Cuál(es) de las siguientes propiedades aumentan a más Z en un grupo?
liq [111]

Answer:

The correct answer is c) Electronegativity

Explanation:

The Z corresponds to the atomic number (defines the number of protons in the nucleus and also the electrons present in the atom). The Z increases from left to right in the same period, this is due to less shielding of the electrons in the last layer. Electronegativity (defined as the ability of the atoms to attract, in a covalent chemical bond, the electrons that it shares with other atoms), increases, the greater the Z (there is less distance).

zaharov [31]
<span>The correct answer is B. false or mistaken idea often based on illogical or invalid reasoning and facts. This includes things like generalizing when making claims, or things like the ad hominem fallacy where you try to refute one's argument by attacking the person and no the argument.
