Explanation:

Because when two equal forces are applied from opposite directions, they "eliminate" each other.

The train would go right if a 3N force was only applied in the right direction, and it would go left if the same force was only applied to the left.

If a 3N force was applied to the right and a 2N force to the left, it would equal a 1N force to the right (3-2=1).

But there it's 3-3=0, so in practice the force is 0N. Therefore the train won't move.

Vitamin C contains the elements C, H, and O. It is known to contain 40.9% C and 4.58% H by mass. The molar mass of vitamin C has

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

C₆H₈O₆

Explanation:

First off, the percent of oxygen by mass of vitamin C is:

100 - (40.9+4.58) = 54.52 %

Assume we have one mol of vitamin C. Then we would have 180 grams, of which:

180 * 40.9/100 = 73.62 grams are of Carbon

180 * 4.58/100 = 8.224 grams are of Hydrogen

180 * 54.52/100 = 98.136 grams are of Oxygen

Now we convert each of those masses to moles, using the elements' respective atomic mass:

C ⇒ 73.62 g ÷ 12 g/mol = 6.135 mol C ≅ 6 mol C

H ⇒ 8.224 g ÷ 1 g/mol = 8.224 mol H ≅ 8 mol H

O ⇒ 98.136 g ÷ 16 g/mol = 6.134 mol O ≅ 6 mol O

So the molecular formula for vitamin C is C₆H₈O₆

Im hella confused and need some help

tatiyna

An oxide is a molecule that has 2 Oxygen atoms in its empirical formula. Stoichiometry would be used as the ratio of Oxygen to Dioxides is 3:2. So 52.29 would be multiplied by 3/2. The answer is 78.435 Mol of CO2 are formed.
