Answer:
The atomic numbers of four elements A, B, C, and D are 6,8,10, and 12 respectively. The two elements which can react to form ionic bonds (or ionic compounds) are B (8= 2,6) and D (12 =2,8,2). So D donates its two electrons to B to fulfill their octet.
Explanation:
First, we have to get how many grams of C & H & O in the compound:
- the mass of C on CO2 = mass of CO2*molar mass of C /molar mass of CO2
= 0.5213 * 12 / 44 = 0.142 g
- the mass of H atom on H2O = mass of H2O*molar mass of H / molar mass of H2O
=0.2835 * 2 / 18 = 0.0315 g
- the mass of O = the total mass - the mass of C atom - the mass of H atom
= 0.3 - 0.142 - 0.0315 = 0.1265 g
Convert the mass to mole by divided by molar mass
C(0.142/12) H(0.0315/2) O(0.1265/16)
C(0.0118) H(0.01575) O(0.0079) by dividing by the smallest value 0.0079
C1.504 H3.99 O1 by rounding to the nearst fraction
C3/2 H4/1 )1/1 multiply by 2
∴ the emprical formula C3H8O2
It is important for the pH of blood to remain constant because your blood would ionize and burn up if the pH wasn't constant. And if the pH was too high, bacteria ( good and bad, and foreign) would end up dying, as well as yourself.
