Freeze drying<span> (or lyophilization) removes water from the ice cream by lowering the </span>air pressure<span> to a point where ice sublimates from a </span>solid<span> to a </span>gas<span>. The ice cream is placed in a </span>vacuum chamber<span> and frozen until the water </span>crystallizes<span>. The air pressure is lowered, creating a partial vacuum, forcing air out of the chamber; next heat is applied, </span>sublimating<span> the ice; finally a freezing coil traps the vaporized water. This process continues for hours, resulting in a freeze-dried ice cream slice. </span>
To
determine the empirical formula of the compound given, we need to determine the ratio of each element in the compound. To do that we assume to have 100 grams sample
of the compound with the given composition. Then, we calculate for the number
of moles of each element. We do as follows:<span>
mass moles
C 56.79 4.73
H 6.56 6.50
O 28.37 1.77
N 8.28 0.59
Dividing the number of moles of each element with
the smallest value, we will have the empirical formula:
</span> moles ratio
C 4.73 / 0.59 8
H 6.50 / 0.59 11
O 1.77 / 0.59 3
N 0.59 / 0.59 1<span>
</span><span>
The empirical formula would be C8H11O3N.</span>
Quantitative data is numerical.
Qualitative data is non-numerical.
Hope this helps.
have a great day.
Galileo disproved the Ptolemaic theory, sanctioned for centuries by the Church, which held the Earth to be the central and principal object in the universe, about which all celestial objects orbited.
