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

The production of new skin cells to replace those that have been lost is an example of what characteristic of life?
Alchen [17]

The production of new skin cells is example of regeneration.

Regeneration is process of replacing or restoring not just skin cells, but also other cells in the human organism.

Skin regeneration is replacement of damaged tissue with new tissue.

There are two ways of skin regeneration:

1) reconstruction is a process of rebuilding of damaged skin cells

2) restoration is process of replacing broken cell skins

Epidermal stem cells are those who produces new daughter cell skins.

Epidermal stem cells are in the lowest layer of the skin.

What mass of hydrogen sulfide, H2S, will completely react with 2.00 moles of silver nitrate, AgNO3?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

34g

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

H2S + 2AgNO3 —> 2HNO3 + Ag2S

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of H2S required to react with 2 moles of AgNO3.

This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

We can see that 1 mole of H2S is required to react completely with 2 moles of AgNO3.

Finally, we shall convert 1 mole of H2S to grams. This is shown below:

Number of mole H2S = 1 mole

Molar mass of H2S = (2x1) + 32 = 34g/mol

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of H2S = 1 x 34

Mass of H2S = 34g

Therefore, 34g of H2S is needed to react with 2 moles of AgNO3.

What is the purpose of galvanization?​
frutty [35]
Galvanizing protects from rust in a number of ways: It forms a barrier that prevents corrosive substances from reaching the underlying steel or iron. The zinc serves as a sacrificial anode so that even if the coating is scratched, the exposed steel will still be protected by the remaining zinc.
