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!

Explain what the kinetic theory of matter states. Which state of matter has the LEAST kinetic energy and which state of matter h
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer: Solid

Solid particles have the least amount of energy, and gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles. A change in phase may occur when the energy of the particles is changed. There are spaces between particles of matter.
