Combustion of any hrdrocarbon yields carbon dioxide and water such that the hydrogen and carbon are derived from the hydrocarbon. 
1 mole of carbon dioxide has a mass out of which 12 g is the mass of carbon, therefore, 3.38 g of carbon will contain  (3.38 × 12)/44 = 0.922 g of carbon.
Thus, since the hydrocarbon has a mass of 1 g, then the mass of hydrogen will be (1-0.922 g) = 0.078 g.
To get the empirical formula we divide the mass of each element by the atomic mass to get the number of moles.
Carbon= 0.922/12 = 0.0768 moles
Hydrogen = 0.078/1 = 0.078 moles
Then we get the ratio of the moles of carbon : hydrogen
                                                      =   0.0768 : 0.078
                                                         =         1 : 1.016
                                                          ≈        1:   1
Therefore the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon will be CH

Which of the following statements is TRUE?
Flura [38]

Answer:

c. An ionic bond is much stronger than most covalent bonds

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are interatomic bonds that forms as a result of electrostatic attraction between two ions. For an ionic bond to be formed, one atom must have lost or gained electron from another that is transferring it. Ionic bonds typically form between atoms whose electronegativity differences are far apart.

Ionic bonds are usually stronger than other types of bonds due to the electrostatic attraction between ions.

One very distinct feature about ionic compounds is that they are conductors of electricity in either molten or aqueous. At room temperature, they are solids and contains no mobile ions.

Explain whether or not you expect the chaparral biome to be sensitive to the loss of a single species.
aleksley [76]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The chaparral biome is a temperate biome with a characteristic high temperature and dryness during summer and mild rainy winters and springs. The biome can be found in relatively small amounts in the major continents of the world with its rich plant and animal diversity who have successfully adapted to the conditions of the biome.

Due to the high biodiversity of the chaparral biome, <u>one would expect it to be resilient to the loss of a single species.</u> <em>The more the biodiversity of a biome or community, the more resilient such biome or community would be to the loss of species and lower the biodiversity, the more sensitive the community would be to the loss of species. </em>
