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:

<h3>C₆H₆O</h3>

USPshnik [31]

The graph is not given in the question, so, the required graph is attached below:

Answer:

According to the graph, the relationship between the density of the sugar solution and the concentration of the sugar solution is directly proportional to each other as they both are increasing exponentially.

The graph shows that, the density of sugar solution will increase with the increase in concentration of sugar in the solution.
