<span>The formula for mass, which is mass = density x volume, can be rewritten as volume = mass/density. We can deduce the volume of the cube as the mass and density are given: 17.2g/2.7g/ml = 6.37ml. Now that the volume of the cube is known, we can deduce the edge length. Volume = length x width x height, so 6.37 = X^3. We then take the cube root of 6.37 to discover the value of x, which will be the edge length of the cube. The edge length of the cube is 1.85 cm.</span>
An empirical formula is the chemical formula showing the simplest ratio of elements in a compound rather than the total number of atoms.
For example the molecule 'CH2O' is the empirical formula for glucose.
This question is repeated. I will copy the same answer provided by myself.
Well you did not show the figure, but I can show you how to do it.
Suppose the person is 6 feet tall and the bacteria cell is 1 micrometer in length.
So, put both magnitudes in the same units. I will use meter.
Person: 6 feet * 0.3048 m / foot = 1.8288 m, which in orders of magnitud is about 2 m
Bacteria cell: 1 micrometer * 1 m / 1,000,000 micrometer = 1 * 10 ^ -6 m.
Now divide: 2m / 10^ -6 m = 2,000,000
So a person is about 2 million times larger than a bacteria cell.
If the numbers in your figure are different you can use the same method to get a new result according to your figure.
Two because it has six electrons in it's valence shell and it still has space for two more
