Give the compound a mass of 100 grams, so that the mass of each element is
C=52.14% of 100g = 52.14g
H=13.13g
O=34.73g

convert the mass to moles
divide the mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated
round to nearest whole number, this is the mole ratio / subscripts

What is the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of naoh and hno3 are mixed?
likoan [24]

Answer:-

H+ + OH- --> H2O

Explanation:-

The chemical equation is NaOH + HNO3 --> NaNO3 + H2O

Now for the ionic compounds

HNO3 --> H+ + NO3 -

NaOH--> Na+ + OH-

NaNO3 --> Na+ + NO3-

Water being covalent will remain as H2O,

Hence

HNO3 + NaOH--> NaNO3 + H2O

H+ + NO3 - + Na+ + OH- --> Na+ + No3 - + H2O.

Crossing out common terms

H+ + OH- --> H2O

A thermometer with a percent error of 6.5% reads the room temperature as 68°F. what is the actual temperature in the room ?
Lynna [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Actual temperature for the given temperature with thermometer with error of 6.5% is 63.8 degrees.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The percentage error in thermometer is 6.5%  this means that if the temperature is 100 degrees the thermometer shell show 106.5 degrees. now calculating the <em>actual temperature of the thermometer when the given temperature is 68°</em>

<em>Applying unitary method for solution 106.5</em>

Then 100 will be\frac {68}{106.5} \times 100

= 0.6384 \times 100

= <em>63.8 Degrees</em>

<em>On solving the value of this equation will give the actual temperature as 63.8 Degrees .</em>

An experiment is designed to determine if the amount of sugar in a drink affects the likelihood that bees will be attracted to i
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The amount of sugar in the sample

Explanation:

The independent variable is not dependent on the other observed variable in an experiment. So In this case, it is the amount of sugar as it does not change by the other variable in the experiment, i.e. the number of bees that visit the sample.

The other options are irrelevant in this experiment because they are not being studied.

The percent composition of artificial snow is 38.3 % C, 3.22 %H, 24.4 % Na, and the remainder is oxygen. Determine the empirical
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

C₃H₃NaO₂

Explanation:

The percentage composition of the artificial snow is given.

The smallest whole number ratio of the atoms in a compound gives the empirical formula.

To find the empirical formula of the artificial snow, we use the method below;

Percentage composition of oxygen  = 100 - (38.3+3.33+ 24.4) = 33.97

Elements                            C                     H              Na             O

Percentage

Composition                   38.3                   3.22         24.4          33.97

Number of

moles                           38.3/12                  3.22/1     24.4/23     33.97/16

                                       3.19                     3.22        1.06             2.12

Divide by

the smallest               3.19/1.06                3.22/1.06  1.06/1.06     2.12/1.06

                                        3                             3               1                2

The empirical formula of the compound is C₃H₃NaO₂
