This is done by reducing each number by a common factor for each formula.

C3H6O6- all can be divided by 3 -> CH3O3 (you don't have to put a 1 for C, only if your teacher requests it. It is generally understood if not written)

H2O2- all can be divided by 2 -> H1O1 (had to put the 1's bc of the unintended language)

C8H8S2- all can be divided by 2 -> C4H4S

P5O15- all can be divided by 5- PO3

*****it is important to note that all numbers in the molecular formula are divided by the same thing to reduce them. decimals are never used in empirical formulas, only whole numbers.*****

What would happen if the sand dunes in an area were destroyed?

Komok [63]

Answer:

Our beaches would be unprotected

In the short-term, these artificial sand hills will be destroyed by the elements. Because sand dunes protect inland areas from swells, tides, and winds, they must be protected and defended like national treasures. ... The ocean and the wind can have an unpredictable, destructive force on coastal regions.

- surfertoday

Natural sand dunes play a vital role in protecting our beaches, coastline and coastal developments from coastal hazards such as erosion, coastal flooding and storm damage. Sand dunes protect our shorelines from coastal erosion and provide shelter from the wind and sea spray.
