Basis of the calculation: 100g
 
For Carbon: 
 Mass of carbon = (100 g)(0.80) = 80 g
  Number of moles of carbon = (80 g)(1 mole / 12g) = 20/3

For Hydrogen:
  Mass of hydrogen = (100 g)(0.20) = 20 g
     Number of moles of hydrogen = (20 g)(1 mole / 1 g) = 20

Translating the answer to the formula of the substance,
     C20/3H20

Dividing the answer,
    CH3

The molar mass of the empirical formula is:
    12 + 3 = 15 g/mol

Since, the molar mass given for the molecular formula is 30.069 g/mol, the molecular equation is,
    C2H6

ANSWER: C2H6

How do the bones protect your organs?
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Bones sustain our bodies, and help shape our form. While very thin, the bones are large enough to bear all of our mass. Bones shield the organs of the body too. The skull supports the brain, and creates the face shape.

Ymorist [56]

Not all DNA codes for proteins

Explanation:

  • DNA (Deoxy Ribonucleic acid) is the genetic material present in all the eukaryotes.
  • An experiment conducted in the 1960s proved that most parts of DNA are composed of long strings of repeated sequence which does not code for proteins.
  • The process involves in coding for a protein are the transcription of DNA to RNA, then translation followed by protein synthesis. There are enzymes involved in these processes.
  • As per the latest study, it states that only 1 per cent of genes code for proteins rest 99 per cent is called the non-coding DNA.

The mathematical relationship between gas solubility and pressure is called Henry's Law, solubility = kHPgas where kH is the Hen
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer : The unit of k_H in mol/L.mm Hg is, 1.8\times 10^{-6}mol/L.mmHg

Explanation :

As we know that the k_H is the Henry's Law constant for argon at 25^oC is, 1.4\times 10^{-3}mol/L.atm

Now we have to determine the unit of k_H in mol/L.mm Hg

Conversion used for pressure from atm to mmHg is:

1 atm = 760 mmHg

So,

k_H=1.4\times 10^{-3}mol/L.atm\times \frac{1atm}{760mmHg}

k_H=1.8\times 10^{-6}mol/L.mmHg

Thus, the unit of k_H in mol/L.mm Hg is, 1.8\times 10^{-6}mol/L.mmHg
