First, we have to divide the percentages by the atomic masses of the elements to get a ratio
Hydrogen: 2/1 = 2
Carbon: 74/12 = 6
Oxygen: 24/16 = 1.5

Now, to make sure that there are no decimals, we have to multiply the three numbers to make the 1.5 into 3

Hydrogen: 2 x 2 = 4
Carbon: 6 x 2  = 12
Oxygen: 1.5 x 2 = 3

So, the Empirical Formula is: C12H4O3

What is a closed container in relation to the law of conservation of matter
Brums [2.3K]
The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as system mass cannot change quantity if it is not added or removed. Hence, the quantity of mass is "conserved" over time.

When an irregularly shaped chunk of an unknown metal with a mass of 25.32 g was placed in a graduated cylinder containing 25.00
inn [45]

Answer: The density of the unknown metal is 7.86 g/ml.

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}

Given : Mass of metal  = 25.32 g

Volume of metal = volume of water displaced = (28.22 - 25.00) ml = 3.22 ml

Putting in the values we get:

density=\frac{25.32g}{3.22ml}

Density=7.86g/ml

Thus the density of the unknown metal is 7.86 g/ml
