Answer:The heat that fuels the hot spot comes from very deep in the planet. This heat causes the mantle in that region to melt. The molten magma rises up and breaks through the crust to form a volcano. While the hot spot stays in one place, rooted to its deep source of heat, the tectonic plate is slowly moving above it.
Explanation:
Compounds are made up of elements that exist in a fixed proportion. These elements are composed of atoms. Now, the atom has subatomic particles (proton, neutron and electrons), however, these particles lack the ability to take part in chemical reactions by themselves; the smallest unit of a compound that can take part in a chemical reaction, therefore, is an ATOM.
Thus, an AT<span>OM is the smallest unit of a compound that retains the unique properties of the compound</span>
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Empirical formula = C₂H₃O
Molecular formula = C₁₄H₂₁O₇
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
Empirical formula
Moles of;
Carbon = 55.8 /12 = 4.65 moles
Hydrogen = 7.04/ 1 = 7.04 moles
Oxygen = 37.16/ 16 = 2.3225 moles
We then get the mole ratio;
4.65/2.3225 = 2.0
7.04/2.3225 = 3.0
2.3225/2.3225 = 1.0
Therefore;
The empirical formula = <u>C₂H₃O</u>
Molecular formula;
(C2H3O)n = 301.35 g
(12 ×2 + 3× 1 + 16×1)n = 301.35
43n = 301.35
n = 7
Therefore;
Molecular formula = (C2H3O)7
<u> = C₁₄H₂₁O₇</u>
Analytical
Analytical chemistry seeks to determine the composition of substances.
