Answer:

Molecular formula = C20H30

Explanation:

NB 440mg = 0.44g, 135mg= 0.135g

From the question, moles of CO2= 0.44/44= 0.01mol

Since 1 mol of CO2 contains 1mol of C, it implies mol of C = 0.01

Also from the question, moles of H2O = 0.135/18= 0.0075mole

Since 1 mol of H2O contains 2mol of H, it implies mol of H = 0.0075×2= 0.015 mol of H

To get the empirical formula, divide by smallest number of mole

Mol of C = 0.01/0.01=1

Mol of H = 0.015/0.01= 1.5

Multiply both by 2 to obtain a whole number

Mol of C =1×2 = 2

Mol of H= 1.5×2 = 3

Empirical formula= C2H3

[C2H3] not = 270

[ (2×12) + 3]n = 270

27n = 270

n=10

Molecular formula= [C2H3]10= C20H30

Is anyone good at chemistry if so can someone help me please ?<br><br> (NO LINKS)

This requires familiarity with the different theories (or concepts) of acids and bases.

On the Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance that produces an H⁺ ion in water such that the H⁺ concentration increases, and a base is a substance that produces an OH⁻ ion in water such that the OH⁻ concentration increases.

On the Brønsted–Lowry concept, an acid is a substance that donates a proton (which is basically an H⁺ ion) in a solvent, and a base is a substance that accepts a proton in a solvent.

On the Lewis concept, an acid is a substance that accepts an electron pair in a solvent, and a base is a substance that donates an electron pair in a solvent.

The concepts become progressively broader, i.e., the Arrhenius concept is the most restrictive and the Lewis concept is the least restrictive. As a corollary, an Arrhenius acid or base is also both a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base and a Lewis acid or base, respectively; a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base is not necessarily an Arrhenius acid or base, but an Arrhenius acid or base is also a Lewis acid or base, respectively. And finally, a Lewis acid or base may not necessarily be either an Arrhenius or a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base.

So, with the above concepts in mind, we can match the statements in column A with the type of acid or base in column B:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ c c } 1 & Bronsted Lowry acid \\  2 & Bronsted Lowry base \\   3 & Arrhenius acid \\ 4 & Arrhenius base \\ 5 & Lewis base \\ 6 & Lewis acid\end{tabular}\end{center}

W=m₁/m₀=2^(-t/T)

t=4.6·10⁹ years
T=5·10¹⁰ years

w=2^(-4.6·10⁹/5·10¹⁰)

w=0.9382
w=93.82%
