Answer:

Emperical formula of the acid is CH2O

Molecular formula is C2H4O2

Explanation:

C. H. O

% by mass. 40. 6.71 53.29

MW. 12. 1. 16

Mole 40/12. 6.71/1. 53.29/16

3.33. 6.71. 3.33

3.33/3.33 6.71/3.33 3.33/3.33

1. 2. 1

Emperical Formula (EF): CH2O

Molecular Formula (MF)

Molecular Weight (MW) of acid = mole/mass = 0.00278/0.167 = 60g/mol

MF = (EF)n = 60

(CH2O)n = 60

(12+2+16)n = 60

30n = 60

n = 60/30 = 2

Molecular formula = (EF)n = (CH2O)2 = C2H4O2

Beryllium oxide, Beo, is an electrical insulator. How
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

There are 10.0 moles of beryllium oxide in a 250 grams sample of the compound.

Explanation:

We can calculate the number of moles (η) of BeO as follows:

\eta = \frac{m}{M}

Where:

m: is the mass = 250 g

M: is the molar mass = 25.0116 g/mol

Hence, the number of moles is:

\eta = \frac{250 g}{25.0116 g/mol} = 10.0 moles

Therefore, there are 10.0 moles of beryllium oxide in a 250 grams sample of the compound.  

I hope it helps you!

Describe how/why earth is layer the way it is
Yuri [45]

Denser objects and substances experience a greater gravitational force acting upon their mass. This is why materials of different densities form layers. ... It is less dense than the Earth's crust, which is a solid. This is why the Earth's surface and atmosphere form distinct layers.
