The empirical formula for carbohydrates is CH2O. The molecular weight for a particular carbohydrate is 90.09 grams. What is the

molecular formula for that carbohydrate? (atomic masses: C =12.0107; H = 1.00794; O = 15.9994)

We find the weight of the empirical formula:
12.0107 + 2 x 1.00794 + 15.9994
= 30.03

Now, we divide the molecular weight by the weight of the empirical formula to find the number of times the empirical formula repeats:
90.09 / 30.03
= 3

The formula is 3(CH₂O)
C₃H₆O₃

Why is it better to conduct an experiment more than once?
lilavasa [31]

The first reason to repeat experiments is simply to verify results. Different science disciplines have different criteria for determining what good results are. Biological assays, for example must be done in at least triplicate to generate acceptable data. Science is built on the assumption that published experimental protocols are repeatable.


2)      The next reason to repeat experiments is to develop skills necessary to extend established methods and develop new experiments. “Practice make perfect” is true for the concert hall and the chemical laboratory.


3)      Refining experimental observations is another reason to repeat. Maybe you did not follow the progress of the reaction like you should have.


4)      Another reason to repeat experiments is to study and/or improve them in way. In the synthetic chemistry laboratory, for example, there is always a desire to improve the yield of a synthetic step. Will certain changes in the experimental conditions lead to a better yield? The only way to find out is to try it! The scientific method informs us that it is best to only make one change at a time.


5)  The final reason to repeat an extraction, chromatographic or synthetic protocol is to produce more of your target substance. This is sometimes referred to scale-up.

If a machine decreases the distance an object moves, it must also _____.
mart [117]

increase the force needed to move the object

Explanation:

If a machine decreases the distance an object moves, it must also increase the force need to move the object.

A machine is a device that is used to do work with a little energy input.

  Work done = force x distance

We see that to do more work, a lot of force must be applied to move a body through a greater distance.

If the distance is reduced;  

      Distance = \frac{Work done {force}

More force must be applied to measure up for the distance and make the machine more efficient.
