<span>C5H4 Calculate how many moles of hydrogen and carbon you have in the products. Do this by lookup up the atomic weights of each element in the products Carbon = 12.0107 Hydrogen = 1.00794 Oxygen = 15.999 Using those atomic weights, calculate the molar mass of each product CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488 Now figure out how many moles of each product was produced. CO2: 8.80 g / 44.0087 g/mol = 0.19996 mol H2O: 1.44 g / 18.01488 g/mol = 0.079934 mol Moles of carbon = 0.19996, moles of hydrogen = 2 * 0.079934 = 0.159868 Now we need to find a ratio of small integers that closely approximates 0.19996 / 0.159868 = 1.250782 The closest ratio is 5/4 which indicates that for every 5 carbon atoms, there are 4 hydrogen atoms, so the empirical formula is C5H4.</span>

What is the approximate time of death if the body temperature was 15.6°C?
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

This stiffening process, called Rigor Mortis, has a roughly known time of occurrence and can therefore be used to estimate time of death. In general: If the body feels warm and no rigor is present, death occurred under 3 hours before. If the body feels warm and stiff, death occurred 3-8 hours earlier.

You have used 2.4×102 L of distilled water for a dialysis patient. How many gallons of water is that?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

63.36gallons

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of water used for dialysis = 2.4 x 10²L

Solution:

We are to convert from liters to gallons.

The conversion factor is shown below:

                1L = 0.264gallons

To convert to litre:

       since 1L = 0.264gallons

             2.4 x 10²L = (2.4 x 10² x 0.264)gallons; 63.36gallons
