Chemistry

Answer:

C6H6

Explanation:

We can obtain the molecular formula from the empirical formula.

What we need do here is:

(CH)n = 78

The n shows the multiples of both element present in the actual compound. It can be seen that carbon and hydrogen have the same element ratio here. We then use the atomic masses of both elements to get the value of n. The atomic mass of carbon is 12 a.m.u while the atomic mass of hydrogen is 1 a.m.u

(1 + 12)n = 78

13n = 78

n = 78/13 = 6

The molecular formula is

(CH)n = (CH)6 = C6H6

If the solution containing the metal complex ion is made acidic, why will the silver chloride precipitate
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer,

For example, silver ion can be precipitated with hydrochloric acid to yield solid silver chloride. Because many cations will not react with hydrochloric acid in this way, this simple reaction can be used to separate ions that form insoluble chlorides from those that do not.

How much volume (in cm^3)is gained by a person who gains 11.8 lb of our fat? Human fat has a density of 0.918 g/cm^3
Zinaida [17]

The volume (in cm³) gained by a person who gains 11.8 lb of fat is 5830.49 cm³

<h3>What is density? </h3>

The density of a substance is simply defined as the mass of the subtance per unit volume of the substance. Mathematically, it can be expressed as

Density = mass / volume

<h3>How to convert pounds to grams </h3>

1 lb = 453.592 g

Therefore,

11.8 lb = 11.8 × 453.592

11.8 lb = 5352.3856 g

<h3>How to determine the volume </h3>
  • Mass = 5352.3856 g
  • Density = 0.918 g/cm³
  • Volume =?

Volume =  mass / density

Volume =  5352.3856 / 0.918

Volume = 5830.49 cm³

Why do warm currents begin near the equator?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

I would go with A

Explanation:

Because the earths equator is warmed by most direct rays of the sun, air a the equator is hotter than air further north or the south. The hotter air rises up at the equator and as colder air moves in to take its place, the wind begins to blow and push the ocean into waves and currents
