Answer:

C₆H₆O

Explanation:

The given values are the percentage in mass of each element. Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of atoms presents in a molecule. Thus, the first we need to do is convert this percentage to mass using molar mass of each element:

<em>Moles C:</em>

76.57C * (1mol / 12g) = 6.38 moles C

<em>Moles H:</em>

6.43 * (1mol / 1g) = 6.43 moles H

<em>Moles O:</em>

17.0% * (1mol / 16g) = 1.06 moles O

Dividing each number of moles in the moles of O (The minimum number of moles. Used to obtain "The simplest ratio..."):

C = 6.38 moles C / 1.06 moles O = 6

H = 6.43 moles H / 1.06 moles O = 6

O = 1.06 moles O / 1.06 moles O = 1

That means empirical formula of phenol is:

Which of the following statements is true regarding bacteria and animal cells?
Fantom [35]

The most accurate answer is A.

Bacterial cells are  generally very small, almost 10 times smaller than most animal and plant cells. Most bacterial cells measure about  0.2 to 10 microns or micrometers which in inches is 0.0000079 to 0.00039.

One of the reasons that bacterial cells are so small is that they require a large surface area to volume ratio to be able to take in nutrients. They take in nutrients from their surroundings through the process of diffusion.

Photodissociation of ozone (O3) can be described as producing an oxygen atom with heat of formation 247.5 kJ/mol. However, in re
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

0.2193 μm

Explanation:

The reaction showing the Photodissociation of ozone (O3) is given below as:

           O₃         +        hv   -------------------------->      O₂         +       O⁺  

H°        (142.9)                                                         (0)                  (438kJ/mol).

The first thing to do here is to determine the change in the enthalpy of the total reaction, this can be done by subtracting the change in the enthalpy of the reactant from the change in enthalpy in the product. Hence, we have:

ΔH° = [438 kJ/mol + 247.5 kJ/mol] - (142.9) = 542.6 KJ/mol.

This value, that is 542.6 KJ/mol will then be used in the determination of the value for the maximum wavelength that could cause this photodissociation.

Therefore, the maximum wavelength could cause this photodissociation ≤ h × c/ E = [ 1.199 × 10⁻⁴]/ 542.6 = 2.193 × 10⁻⁷ =  0.2193 μm
