A) C2H6O1

To find the emperical formula, divide each mole value by the smallest

For carbon, 0.013/0.0065 = 2

For hydrogen, 0.038/0.0065= 6

For oxygen, 0.0065/0.0065= 1

Emperical formula = C2H6O1

Answer:

C2H6O1

Explanation:

Empirical formula means to express the ratio of the number of atoms , i.e to identify which of the three elements appears with the smallest number of atoms in the formula, and then to get the rate of the atoms belonging to other species in respect with this one. In this molecule Oxygen shows the smallest number of moles (0.0065)  (O1)

To see how many moles of carbon correspond to 1 mole of Oxygen, divide 0.013 moles of C to 0.0065 moles of Oxygen:  0.013/0.0065 =2 Therefore for each mole of Oxygen you have two moles of C (C2)

To see how many moles of Hydrogen correspond to 1 mole of Oxygen, divide 0.039 moles of H to 0.0065 moles of Oxygen:  0.039/0.0065 =6 Therefore for each mole of Oxygen you have six moles of H  (H6)

The empirical formula is C2H6O1

RSB [31]

To separate oil from water, add a solution of soluble ionic salt to the solution. Distillation, which involves boiling and condensing the water, is another option, as well as partially freezing the oil and water combination and discarding one-fourth to one-third of the unfrozen water.

Which of the following could you do to increase the strength of an electromagnet? decrease the number of windings decrease the e
IgorLugansk [536]
I believe the most appropriate answer would be to change the core from wood to iron. This is because iron is a magnetic material while wood is not magnetic hence cant acquire magnetism. Other factors that would increase the strength of electromagnet would be; increasing the amount of electric current, and increasing the number of windings.

How many days would it take for a crepe myrtle tree to grow 1 cm in height if it grows 3.38 feet per year?
ololo11 [35]
It's very easy, it's depending mainly on converting a mathematical unit:

When 1 Cm = 0.0328084 Ft
So, we assume that: 
in    1 year → it grows 3.38 Ft

So  X(years)→ 0.0328084

∴X(years) = 0.0328084 * 3.38 = 0.0097 year

We have to convert this unit form years to days by:

       1 year = 365 days
So,  0.0097 =  X (days)
∴X(days)= 365 * 0.0097 = 3.5 days

So it will take 3.5 days to grow up

Calculate the molar mass for each of the following:
Mila [183]

Answer: a . 152g/mol  b. 102g/mol c. 183g/mol

Explanation:

By stating the atomic masses of each element in the questions, we have;

Fe= 56, S= 32, O= 16, Al = 27, C = 12, H =1 , N = 14, therefore

(a). FeSO4 =  56 + 32 + (16 x 4) =  152g/mol

(b). Al2O3 =  (27 x 2) + (16 x 3) = 102g/mol

(c). C7H5NO3S ( Saccharin, an artificial Sweetner) =

   (12 x 7) + (1 x 5) + 14 + (16 x 3) + 32 =  183g/mol
