Answer:

Empirical formula is CH₂O.

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 3.36 g

Mass of carbon = 20.00 g

Mass of oxygen = 26.64 g

Molar mass of compound = 180.156 g/mol

Empirical formula = ?

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of atoms of different elements in small whole number

Number of gram atoms of H = 3.36 / 1.01 = 3.3

Number of gram atoms of O = 26.64 / 16 = 1.7

Number of gram atoms of C = 20 / 12 = 1.7

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :        H            :         O

           1.7/1.7                :     3.3/1.7       :       1.7/1.7

              1                     :           2          :        1

C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

Empirical formula is CH₂O.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass = CH₂O = 12×1 + 2× + 16

Empirical formula mass = 30

n = 180.156 / 30

n = 6

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 6 (CH₂O)

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

If a 185-lb patient is prescribed 145mg. What dosage is the patient receiving in mg/kg of his body weight?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

1.728 mg/kg

Explanation:

First have to convert the patient's weight to kg

1 lb = 0.454 kg

185 lb in kg = 83.9 kg

Then we have to divide the dose per the weight of the patient

145 mg for 83.9 kg =  145/83.9

= 1.728 mg/kg

Which of the following can an isosceles triangle not be? an acute triangle a scalene triangle an equilateral triangle a right tr
zimovet [89]

Answer;

A scalene

Explanation;

A triangle is a geometric figure with three sides and three angles that always add up to 180 degrees.

Based on properties triangles can be classified as equilateral, scalene, isosceles and right triangles.

Equilateral triangles has all the three sides and the angles equal, an isosceles triangle has two of its sides equal, and two angles that are known as the base angles equal. A scalene triangle has all the three angles and sides different from each other. A right triangle is a triangle in which one of the angle is right angle or is 90 degrees.

An isosceles triangle may be a right triangle, equilateral triangle, and also may be an acute triangle, however an isosceles triangle can never be a scalene triangle
