Answer:

Empirical formula:

Fe₂O

Subscript of iron in empirical formula is 2.

Explanation:

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula  that gives the smallest whole number ratio between the atoms of elements present in a compound.

Given data:

Mass of iron = 87.47 g

Mass of oxygen = 12.53 g

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of iron = 87.47 /55.845 =1.57 grams atoms

Number of gram atoms of oxygen = 12.53 / 16 = 0.78 grams atoms

Atomic ratio:

Fe                   :          O

1.57/0.78        :       0.78/0.78  

     2               :              1                    

Fe : O = 2  :  1

Empirical formula:

Fe₂O

Subscript of iron in empirical formula is 2.

By sprouting in the rainforest canopy, the strangler fig seedling is exposed to more
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Waxy leaves protect the strangler fig from drying winds and sunlight that it is exposed to high in the canopy. Perhaps the most amazing part of this extraordinary tree is its flower. What we think of as the fruit is really a hollow, flower-bearing structure called a cyconia.
