Carbon dioxide consists of the elements Carbon (C) and Oxygen (O) and you have to have 2 oxygen.
Your answer is C. Sublimation :)(
It would be 65 miles per hour
Answer:
X5Y2
Explanation:
% composition of X = 52.2%
% composition of Y = (100 - 52.2) = 47.8%
This means that there are 52.2g of X and 47.8g of Y in the compound
To calculate the empirical formula of the compound, we first convert the gram value to mole value by dividing by their molar masses.
X = 52.2g/42.3g/mol = 1.234mol
Y = 47.8g/96.7g/mol = 0.494mol
Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest value (0.494mol)
X = 1.234mol ÷ 0.494mol = 2.49
Y = 0.494mol ÷ 0.494mol = 1
We multiply each value by 2
X = 2.49 × 2 = 4.98
Y = 1 × 2 = 2
The simple ratio of X:Y is 5:2, hence, their empirical formula is X5Y2.
