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

According to the Kinetic Molecular Theory, as the volume of a gas increases: the number of particle impacts per unit area increa
aliya0001 [1]

As the volume of a gas increases <em>at constant temperature</em>, the number of particle impacts per unit area decreases.

There is the same number of impacts, but they are spread over a larger surface area.

Thus, the number of impacts per unit area decreases.

Which colorless and odorless gas, produced by radioactive decay of Uranium-238, is considered to be a cancer-causing agent?
alexdok [17]
<span>The correct answer is b. Radon. Oxygen, Hyrdrogen, and Boron, are not radioactivel ike Radon and it regenerates quickly meaning that even though it has a short half-life period, it stays for a long time once released. It also has no taste so it's difficult to notice without proper gear because you can't feel it.</span>

Different isotopes of the same element emit light at slightly different wavelengths. A wavelength in the emission spectrum of a
Inessa [10]

Different isotopes of the same element emit light at slightly different wavelengths, the minimum number of slits  is mathematically given as

N=1820slits

<h3>What minimum number of slits is required to resolve these two wavelengths in second-order?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the wave is mathematically given as

d\ sin\ (\theta\ m) \ = \ m\  \lambda

Where the chromatic resolving power (R) is defined by

R\  =\ \lambda\ / \ d \  \lambda

R = nN,

Therefore

\lambda_1 \ = \  (656.45)(1 \ * \ 10^{-9})/1mm

\lambda_1= 656.45*10^{-9}

and

\lambda_2= (656.27)(1*10^{-9})/1mm

\\\\\lambda_2= 656.27*10^{-9}m

In conclusion, the minimum number of slits is required to resolve these two wavelengths in second-order

N\ =\ \dfrac{\lambda}{m\ d\ T\ }\\\\

Therefore

N\ =\ \dfrac{656.45 \ * \ 10^{-9}}{2\ * \ (0.18*10^{-9})}

N=1820slits
