Since all of those percents add up to 100, you can just directly convert that to grams. So now you can use 2 grams H, 32.7 grams S, and 65.3 grams O. Use that info and convert that to moles for an answer of 2mol H, 1mol S, and 4mol O. In every empirical question you need to divide each quantity of moles by the lowest number. In this case, that number is one, so they stay the same, but it's important to remember that step. You're final chemical formula would be H2SO4 and the answer to your question would be that the subscript for oxygen is 4. Hope this helped!

How many grams of NaCL are required to prepare 50ml of a 2.0 molar solution​
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

5.85 gm.

Explanation:

We know that,

Normality =<u> Molarity × Molecular </u><u>weight</u>

Equivalent weight

Since molecular weight of NaCl= equivalent weight = 23+35.5 =58.5

Normality of NaCl= molarity=2

Now,

Normality= <u>weight</u><u> </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>gram</u><u> </u><u>×</u><u>1000</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>

Volume ×equivalent weight

Weight in gram is given by,

<u>=</u><u>Normality × Volume × equivalent </u><u>weight</u>

1000

= <u>2× 50 × 58.</u><u>5</u>

1000

=5.85 gm.

Why do cells carry out cellular respiration
vitfil [10]
<span>Plants and animals carry out cellular respiration, but only plants conduct photosynthesis. Cellular respiration is the process in which a cell uses oxygen to convert glucose, a simple sugar, into the energy-carrying molecule, adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
