Given, 33.019 mol of co₂ of and 6.75g of  h₂o

mol of co₂ = mass/molar mass = 33.01g/44gmol = 0.75 mol

Since 1mol have co₂ 1 mol c

Hence 0.75 mol have = 0.75 mol

Now,

mol of H₂O = 6.75g/18gmol = 0.375 mol

Since 1mol H20 have = 2 mol H

Hence 0.375 mol H20 have = 2x0.375 mol H = 0.75 mol H.

Now

mol of H = [0.75 mol x4] = 3mol

mol of c = [0.75 molx4] = 3 mol

Hence

Empirical Formula = CH.

This is done by dividing the atomic mass by the molecular mass and then multiplying it by the mass of the compound is made. Therefore, the molecular formula for this hydrocarbon is CH3 because it has a ratio of 1 carbon atom to 3 hydrogen atoms. The general formula for saturated hydrocarbons with one ring is CnH2n. Most compounds require information other than the chemical formula to elucidate the structure. However, the CH ratio in the chemical formula can provide information about the chemical structure.

The state of matter with a specific volume but no definite shape is the _____ state.
bagirrra123 [75]

The state of matter with a specific volume but no definite shape is the <u>Liquid</u> state.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are three states of matter according to chemical science: Solid, Liquid and Gas. There is not much space in among the molecules. The particles in a liquid are free to float, so while a liquid has a certain volume it has no definite form. Liquids are composed of atoms or molecules bound by inter molecular bonds.

Most of the liquids resist compression while some do not, unlike a gas, a liquid will not spread to fill any container room and will retain a fairly constant density. A characteristic liquid state property is surface tension that results to wetting phenomena. Water is perhaps the most frequent substance on Earth.

During a solar flare, it is most likely that
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

During a solar flare, the built up magnetic energy n the solar atmosphere is released at once. If a strong solar flare hits the earth, it is most possible that it will destroy the electronics. It is not expected to effect any human beings unless they are travelling towards the outer space are living at higher altitudes.

It can lead to skin can in case of extreme exposures.

I hope the answer is helpful.

Thanks for answering.

Kaila runs competitively. She would like to calculate her average running speed each time she runs. Which data should Kaila reco
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Start and end times; distance run.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Average speed = distance/time.

Kaila should record the distance run, the time she started, and the time she ended her run.

The difference between the start and end times gives the time for the run.

If she inserts her numbers into the formula, she will get her average running speed.

Describe the three subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, and electrons) in terms of their mass, charge, and location within th
atroni [7]
Particle      mass                          charge                     location

protons     1.673*10 ^ - 27 kg        1.6*10 ^ -19 C        in the nucleus
neutrons   1.675*10 ^ - 27 kg        0                             in the nucleus
electron     9.11 * 10 ^ - 31 kg       -1.6 * 10 ^ - 19 C    around the nucleus (orbitals)

Protons and neutrons have almost same masses. Mass of electrons is 1/1840 the mass of the protons.

Protons and electrons have the same magnitud of charge with different sign. Protons are positive and electrons are negative. Neutrons do not have charge.
