empirical formula = when the percentage compositions by mass of elements in a compound are divided by their relative atomic masses.

from the obtained amount the smallest amount will divide all.

the answers can then be rounded off if in decimals or they can be multiplied by 2 if they have .5 decimals e.g 2.5 , 7.5 , etc.

solution: HYDROGEN    CARBON      OXYGEN

                2/1                      74/12               24/16

                  2                         6.167                 1.5

                  2 / 1.5                  6.167 / 1.5           1.5 / 1.5

                  1.333                        4.111                   1

                      1                              4                        1


answer :     C4OH

The diagram shows a simple lipid.
kifflom [539]
This is not a phospholipid as it does not contain a phosphate group at the end of the chain, and is not a triglyceride as there is no glyceryl moiety. Each carbon bonded to hydrogens makes the maximum number of C-H bonds possible, therefore there are no multiple bonds between carbons and the lipid is saturated. Therefore the answer is A.
Hope this helps!

A person with a body temperature of 37°C holds an ice cube with a temperature of 0°C in a room where the air temperature is 20.°
Arlecino [84]
The answer is (2). Heat always flows down the temperature gradient, from high temperature to low temperature. Therefore, since the person is the warmest, heat flows from the person to both the ice and the air. Additionally, since the air is warmer than the ice, heat flows from the air to the ice.
