132 g of C  ,   22 g of H   , 176 g of O

132 + 22 + 176 => 330 g <span>of the substance

</span>Now convert the masses in <span>moles :
</span>
C = 12.0 u        H = 1.0 u       O = 16.0 u

C = 132 / 12.0 => 11 moles

H = 22 / 1.0 => 22 moles

O = 176 / 16.0 => 11 moles

Using the values obtained the lowest proportion in mols of elements present, simply divide the values found for the least of them<span>:
</span>
C = 11 / 11 => 1

H = 22 / 11 => 2

O = 11 / 11 => 1

 formula empirically <span>is : CH</span>₂O

hope this helps!

Convert each quantity to the indicated units. a. 3.01g to cg. b. 6200m to km
miss Akunina [59]

a. 301 cg

b. 6.2 km

Explanation:

a. knowing that 1 gram (g) is equal to 100 centigrams (cg) we devise the following reasoning:

if        1 g is equal to 100 cg

then  3.01 g are equal to X cg

X = (3.01 × 100) / 1 = 301 cg

b. knowing that 1 kilometer (km) is equal to 1000 meters (m) we devise the following reasoning:

if         1 km is equal to 1000 m

then   Y km are equal to 6200 m

Y = (6200 × 1) / 1000 = 6.2 km

What is the mass percent of oxygen in sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)?
Alenkasestr [34]
The answer is 57.14%.

First we need to calculate molar mass of <span>NaHCO3. Molar mass is mass of 1 mole of a substance. It is the sum of relative atomic masses, which are masses of atoms of the elements.

Relative atomic mass of Na is 22.99 g
</span><span>Relative atomic mass of H is 1 g
</span><span>Relative atomic mass of C is 12.01 g
</span><span>Relative atomic mass of O is 16 g.
</span>
Molar mass of <span>NaHCO3 is:
22.99 g + 1 g + 12.01 g + 3 </span>· <span>16 g = 84 g

Now, mass of oxygen in </span><span>NaHCO3 is:
3 </span>· 16 g = 48 g

mass percent of oxygen in <span>NaHCO3:
48 g </span>÷ 84 g · 100% = 57.14%

Therefore, <span>the mass percent of oxygen in sodium bicarbonate is 57.14%.</span>

One reaction that destroys o3 molecules in the stratosphere is
Sidana [21]
One reaction that destroys o3 molecules in the stratosphere is when an ozone molecule combines with an oxygen atom to form two oxygen molecules, or through certain chemical reactions involving molecules containing hydrogen, nitrogen, chlorine, or bromine atoms. The atmosphere maintains a natural balance between ozone formation and destruction.
