Answer:

C3H6O3

Explanation:

To find the emperical of the compound,you divide the percentage composition of each element by it's molar mass(C=12, H=1, O=16).

For C,40/12=3.33. For H,6.71/1=6.71

For O,53.19/16=3.33.

Then divide everything by the smallest value which is 3.33

For C,3.33/3.33=1. For H,6.71/3.33=~2.

For O,3.33/3.33=1.

Emperical formula=CH2O

Molecular formula=(CH2O)n=90

(12+2*1+16)n=90

30n=90, n=3

molecular formula=(CH2O)3

molecular formula of lactic acid=C3H6O3.

Answer:

Rubidium-85=61.2

Rubidium-87=24.36

Atomic Mass=85.56 amu

Explanation:

To find the atomic mass, we must multiply the masses of the isotope by the percent abundance, then add.

<u>Rubidium-85 </u>

This isotope has an abundance of 72%.

Convert 72% to a decimal. Divide by 100 or move the decimal two places to the left.

  • 72/100= 0.72      or        72.0 --> 7.2 ---> 0.72

Multiply the mass of the isotope, which is 85, by the abundance as a decimal.

  • mass * decimal abundance= 85* 0.72= 61.2

Rubidium-85=61.2

<u>Rubidium-87</u>

This isotope has an abundance of 28%.

Convert 28% to a decimal. Divide by 100 or move the decimal two places to the left.

  • 28/100= 0.28       or        28.0 --> 2.8 ---> 0.28

Multiply the mass of the isotope, which is 87, by the abundance as a decimal.

  • mass * decimal abundance= 87* 0.28= 24.36

Rubidium-87=24.36

<u>Atomic Mass of Rubidium:</u>

Add the two numbers together.

  • Rb-85 (61.2) and Rb-87 (24.36)
  • 61.2+24.36=85.56 amu

Finding energy and wavelength?
deff fn [24]
The equation is
W = C/F
W= 3.00 x 10^8 m/sec
——————————
6.165 x 10^14 Hz
W= 4.87 x 10^-7 m

Energy is
E=hF
E= (6.626 x 10^-34 Jxsec )(6.165 x 10^14 Hz)
E= 4.085 x 10^-19 J
