Assume there are 100g of the compound.
Mass of carbon:20.01g
Mass of oxygen:79.99g
Number of mole of carbon:20.01/12=1.6675mol
Number of mole of oxygen:79.99/32=2.4996875mol
Mole ratio between carbon and oxygen:
1.6675/1.6675:2.4996875/1.6675
=1:1.499062969
1x2:1.499062969x2
=2:2.998125937
≈2:3
Hence, the empirical formula:
C2O3

Answer:

Explanation:

El hielo encierra la primavera antes de espolvorear la sal.

Cuando se rocía sal sobre el hielo, disminuye el punto de fusión del hielo 32 ° F a un poco por debajo de 32 °, por lo tanto, se acumula.

A medida que el hielo se vuelve a congelar, encierra la primavera

The equation, DF + heat Imported Asset D + F, is an example of an endothermic reaction.
zvonat [6]
The answer is TRUE.

If the Energy is on the left, then the problem is true. If it is on the right then it would be negative, false, and considered as exothermic.

Endothermic reaction = the products are higher in energy than the reactants.
Exothermic reaction = a chemical reaction that releases energy by light or heat.
