We need to first calculate the empirical formula. Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound,
Mass percentages have been given. We need to then calculate for 100 g of the compound 
                               C                     H                           O
mass                    77.87 g              11.76 g                 <span>10.37 g
number of moles  77.87/12            11.76/1                 10.37/16
moles                  = 6.48                  = 11.76                 =0.648
divide by least number of moles 
                              6.48/0.648       11.76/0.648            0.648/0.648
                              = 10                 =18.1                      = 1
rounded off
C - 10 , H - 18 and O - 1
empirical formula - C</span>₁₀H₁₈O
mass of empirical unit = 12 x 10 + 1x 18 + 16 = 120 + 18 + 16 = 154 
number of empirical units = molecular mass / mass of one empirical unit 
                                         = 154.25 / 154 = 1.00 
Therefore molecular formula = C₁₀H₁₈O

These statements describe three different reactions.
Naily [24]

An atom gains an electron from another atom. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

<h3>What is an atom?</h3>

An atom is a particle of matter that uniquely defines a chemical element. An atom consists of a central nucleus that is usually surrounded by one or more electrons.

When an atom shares electrons with another atom then it results in the formation of a covalent bond.

Whereas when an atom transfer electrons from one atom to another then it results in the formation of an ionic bond.

When the nucleus of an atom splits then it represents a nuclear fission reaction and energy is released during this process.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Stella [2.4K]

The value of "d" is 80°

Explanation:

Cyclic quadrilaterals are the special group of quadrilaterals with all its base lying on the circumference of the circle. In other words, a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is called a cyclic quadrilateral.

Cyclic quadrilateral are characterised by some special features such as

  • Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is always a supplementary angle.
  • If one of the sides of a cyclic quadrilateral is produced, then the exterior angle so formed is always double of the corresponding interior angle.  

Using the property 1  

We find that since the quadrilateral is cyclic, opposite pairs must be supplementary

100° +∠D must be equal to 180°  

D=180° -100° =80°
