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

What factors determine an objects kinetic energy
ludmilkaskok [199]
According to the formula of KE.

KE = 1/2m • v^2.

Both of the variables of mass and energy m determines an object's kinetic energy. Assuming the mass of an object is held constant, the change in velocity, or velocity change will dictate the amount of kinetic energy that a particular object posses.

how does the total mass of each object increases the amount of force that is needed to get them moving at 5 m/s increase by abou
irakobra [83]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum with respect to time, going in the same direction as the force.

Let F = force, m = mass of object, v = velocity of object, mv = momentum.

F = d/dt(mv) = m(dv / dt) = ma; a = acceleration.

Let us assume that the object starts from rest to 5 m/s within 1 seconds, hence:

F = m(dv / dt)

200 N = m[(5 m/s - 0 m/s) / (1 s)]

200 = 5m

m = 40 kg

1. What element is a metalloid in group 3?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

1.The metalloids; boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), tellurium (Te), polonium (Po) and astatine (At) are the elements found along the step like line between metals and non-metals of the periodic table.

2.hydrogen

The elements generally classified as nonmetals include one element in group 1 (hydrogen);

3.element iron

The element iron is in group 8, and therefore has two or three apparent valence electrons.
