A sample of a compound contains 60.0 g C and 5.05 g H.

divide by molar mass of C(12) and H(1) to get molar ratio

C: 60/12=5 and H: 5/1=5

so C:H=5:5=1:1

total molar mass=78

divide by 1C+1H to find the formula: 78/(12+1)=78/13=6

compound is C6H6

Step 1: Calculate Moles for each Element:

Mole of C  =  60.0 / 12  =  5

Mole of H  =  5.05 / 1.008  =  5.009

Step 2: Calculate Mole Ratio:
                                             Divide each mole value with least mole value.

                                 H     :      C

                     5.009/5       :     5/5

                                  1    :     1
So,
           Empirical Formula  =  C₁H₁ or CnHn      ------ (1)

Step 3: Calculate Molecular Formula:
By using formula,
                               n  =  Molecular Mass / Empirical Formula Mass

Molecular Mass  =  78.12 g/mol

Empirical Formula Mass  =  12 + 1  = 13          ∴ C = 12 & H = 1
So,
                               n  =  78.12 / 13 

                               n  =  6

Putting value of n in eq. 1,
  
                                                  C₆H₆
Result:
            
The correct answer is C₆H₆.

Why was it important to establish the Clean Air Act?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

The Clean Air Act was enacted in 1973 and brought to action in 1990. The act was passed to supervise air emissions to ensure clean air and atmosphere for people. The act was passed in the wake of premature deaths of hundred of thousands people. The act works with NAAQS to ensure safe and clean air for the safety of public health.

<u>From the given options the correct one is C. The Clean Air Act supervises the activities which emits air and any activities that is found to pollute the air will be labelled as illegal</u>.

Therefore, option C is correct.

Calcuate the number of<br> grams of solute in 453.9mL<br> of 0.237 M calcium acetate
AysviL [449]

The number of  grams : 17.082 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Molarity shows the number of moles of solute in every 1 liter of solute or mmol in each ml of solution

\large {\boxed {\bold {M ~ = ~ \dfrac {n} {V}}}

Where

M = Molarity

n = Number of moles of solute

V = Volume of solution

453.9 mL  of 0.237 M calcium acetate

  • mol

\tt mol=M\times V=0.237\times 0.4539=0.108

  • mass

MW Ca(C₂H₃OO)₂ : 158,17 g/mol

\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=0.108\times 158.17=17.082~g

A bicyclist travels the first 800 m of a trip with a speed of 10 m/s, the next 500 m with an
bezimeni [28]

Answer:9.18 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed for the entire trip is found ......total distance/total time. Remember r*t=d, so divide both sides by t and get r = d/t.

So the cyclist went 800+500+1200 m = 2500 m for total distance.

10t =800 leads to t=80 sec

5t=500 leads to t=100 sec

13t = 1200 leads to t = 92.3 sec

total time is 272.3 sec

Average speed for the entire trip is 2500 / 272.3 = 9.18 m/s
