Ernest Shackleton's South! primarily uses the writing structure of "problem and solution".
132 g of C , 22 g of H , 176 g of O
132 + 22 + 176 => 330 g <span>of the substance
</span>Now convert the masses in <span>moles :
</span>
C = 12.0 u H = 1.0 u O = 16.0 u
C = 132 / 12.0 => 11 moles
H = 22 / 1.0 => 22 moles
O = 176 / 16.0 => 11 moles
Using the values obtained the lowest proportion in mols of elements present, simply divide the values found for the least of them<span>:
</span>
C = 11 / 11 => 1
H = 22 / 11 => 2
O = 11 / 11 => 1
formula empirically <span>is : CH</span>₂O
hope this helps!
Answer: B or C
Explanation: The question does not include the variable or steps Brian is using so either one could be correct. It has to be the one that he is controlling though. This is because a control group is used to rule out any alternate explanations. Therefore the answer should be the one that he is trying to test out.
