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

he rate constant for this zero‑order reaction is 0.0130 M ⋅ s − 1 at 300 ∘ C. A ⟶ products How long (in seconds) would it take f
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

188 s

Explanation:

We are told the reaction is second order respect to A so we know the expression for the rate law is

rate = - Δ[A]/Δt = k[A]²

where the symbol Δ stands for change, [A] is the concentration of A, and k is the rate constant.

The integrated rate law for this equation from calculus is

1 / [A]t = kt + 1/[A]₀

where  [A]t is the concentration of A at time t, k is the rate constant, and [A]₀ is the initial concentration.

Since we have all the information required to solve this equation lets plug our values

1 / 0.280= 0.0130x t  + 1 / 0.890

( 1 / 0.280 - 1 / 0.890)M⁻¹ = 0.0130 M⁻¹ ·s⁻¹t

t = 188 s

Draw to scale size a model of the earth's crust in mine-craft like the pictures below take pictures of different angles​ and vid
Nezavi [6.7K]

To build a model of the Earth, several physical aspects must be taken into account, such as the composition of its interior and its external appearance.

<h3>How to draw a scale model of the Earth?</h3>

To draw a scale model of the Earth we must take into account different aspects so that it has the most similar appearance to our planet.

To draw the Earth we must know that the shape of our planet is not a sphere but rather a geoid that has irregularities and is flattened.

Additionally, we must take into account the physical characteristics such as:

  • The colors of the sea and the oceans.
  • The different mountain ranges.
  • The polar ice caps.
  • The shapes of the continents.
  • The inner layers.
