The empirical formula of c12h24o12 is a carbohydrate.

<h3>Carbohydrate</h3>

A carbohydrate is a biomolecule made up of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) atoms, often with a hydrogen-oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water), and so having the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n (where m may or may not be different from n). All molecules that meet this exact stoichiometric criterion are not, however, automatically categorized as being carbohydrates.

The term is most frequently used in biochemistry, where it is used as a synonym for saccharide, a class of compounds that includes sugars, starches, and cellulose. The four chemical categories of saccharides are monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. The smallest carbohydrates, monosaccharides and disaccharides, are sometimes referred to as sugars.

Consider two concentric spheres whose radii differ by t = 1 nm, the "thickness" of the interface. At what radius (in nm) of sphe

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Radius of the interior sphere = 3.847 nm

Explanation:

The volume of the shell (Vs) is equal to the difference of the volume of the outer sphere (Vo) and the volume of the inner sphere (Vi). Then:

$V_s=V_o-V_i=V_i\\V_o=2*V_i\\$

If we express the radius of the outer sphere (ro) in function of the radius of the inner sphere (ri), we have (e being the shell thickness):

$r_o=r_i+e$

The first equation becomes

$\frac{4 \pi}{3}*r_o^{3} = 2 * \frac{4 \pi}{3}*r_i^{3} \\\\\frac{4 \pi}{3}*(r_i+e)^{3} = 2 * \frac{4 \pi}{3}*r_i^{3} \\\\(r_i+e)^{3} = 2 *r_i^{3} \\\\(r_i^{3}+3r_i^{2}e+3r_ie^{2}+e^{3})=2r_i^{3}\\\\-r_i^{3}+3r_i^{2}e+3r_ie^{2}+e^{3}=0\\\\-r_i^{3}+3r_i^{2}+3r_i+1=0$

To find ri that satisfies this equation we have to find the roots of the polynomial.

Numerically, it could be calculated that ri=3.847 nm satisfies the equation.

So if the radius of the interior sphere is 3.847 nm, the volume of the interior sphere is equal to the volume of the shell of 1nm.
