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

What evidence supports a conservation law?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

A- Energy from sunlight becomes glucose during photosynthesis

Explanation:

The law of conservational photosynthetic energy states that atoms cannot be created nor destroyed; the atoms can only be rearranged into new molecules and ions. This implies that the enzymes in photosynthesis are aided by energy to transform into glucose, which the plant needs.

What happens when energy is released during atomic fission
Vesnalui [34]
Nuclear energy is called the energy obtained by the transformation of atomic nuclei, so small and heavy clusters of particles inside the atom. Nuclear energy can be produced in two ways, by cleavage or synthesis of nuclei. Heavy nuclei of radioactive elements such as uranium or plutonium, can be split into two nuclei. By splitting are released from the nucleus of neutrons that collide with other nuclei causing them to split and subsequent emission of neutrons. This is called a chain reaction. The condition calls self-sustaining nuclear reaction is slowing down neutrons. For this purpose, a special substance, called moderator. The neutrons collide with the molecules of the moderator precipitate heating speed while the moderator. The resulting heat heats the water so that a couple who drives a turbine generating electricity. Another way of producing nuclear energy is nuclear fusion, in which nuclei combine to light elements. So far, fusion, however, failed to carry out so that it can be applied to the economy as a source of energy.
