Answer:
Explanation:
Mitochondria are a part of eukaryotic cells. The main job of mitochondria is to perform cellular respiration. This means it takes in nutrients from the cell, breaks it down, and turns it into energy. This energy is then in turn used by the cell to carry out various functions.
Answer:
Density
Explanation:
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume
To get the empirical formula of this compound, we take a basis of 100 grams which means each percentage is equivalent to 1 gram. Hence there is 32.39 grams sodium, 22. 53 grams sulfur and 45.07 grams oxygen. We convert each mass to their moles by dividing by their respective molar mass. Na: 1.408, S:0.704 and O:2.82. divide each with the lowest: Na: 2: S: 1 and O:4. Hence the formula is Na2SO4.
The empirical formula represents the simplest whole number shows the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. An example of this is the empirical formula for glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is C₃H₆O₃.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Step-by-step explanation:
- Hydrogen either reacts with or is formed by reactions with many other elements, so chemists could use it directly to determine their relative masses.
- Hydrogen has the smallest atomic mass, so it was convenient to give H a relative atomic mass of 1 and assign those of other elements as multiples of this number.
The O = 16 scale became the standard in 1903 and carbon-12 was chosen in 1961.
