Answer:

The empirical formule is C6H11NO

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the mass = 100 grams

Nylon contains:

63.68 % carbon = 63.68 grams

9.80 % hydrogen = 9.80 grams

12.38 % nitrogen = 12.38 grams

14.14 % oxygen = 14.14 grams  

Molar mass C = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass H = 1.01 g/mol

Molar mass nitrogen = 14.01 g/mol

Molar mass oxygen = 16.00 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / moles

Moles C = 63.68 grams / 12.01 g/mol

Moles C = 5.302 moles

Moles H = 9.80 grams / 1.01 g/mol

Moles H = 9.70 moles

Moles N = 12.38 grams / 14.01 g/mol

Moles N = 0.8837 moles

Moles O = 14.14 grams / 16.00 g/mol

Moles O = 0.8838 moles

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smalleste amount of moles

C: 5.302/0.8837 = 6

H: 9.70/0.8837 = 11

N: 0.8837/0.8837 = 1

O: 0.8838/0.8837 = 1

The empirical formule is C6H11NO

The distance from Santa Maria to Los Alamos is 16.25 mi. what is the distance in meters?
Radda [10]

Answer:

26,167.47m

Explanation:

Problem:

We are to solve this problem using dimensional analysis:

  from the given conversion factors-

      0.621mi = 1.00km

       1km = 1000m

From the problem, we are groing from miles to metres:

      16.25mi x \frac{1km}{0.621mi} x \frac{1000m}{1km}

The mi will cancel out and also the km. This leaves us with the desired unit we want which is meters, m.

       =  26,167.47m

The product formation was decreased when a substance b was added to an enzyme reaction. more substrate being added did not incre
borishaifa [10]
When the product formation is decreased if a substance B is added to an enzyme reaction and more substrate being added would not increase the amount of produce formed, then we assume that substance b could be a noncompetitive inhibitor. This type of inhibitor would be one that would bind to the enzyme with or without the presence of a substrate in different sites at the same time. It would change the conformation of the enzyme and also the active sites. As a result, the substrate would not be able to bind to the enzyme more effectively than the usual. The overall efficiency would decrease.

Predict the formula of the ionic compound that would result from combining the monatomic ions formed by each pair of elements. M
skad [1K]

Answer:

E - Be and O

A - Mg and N

E - Li and Br

F - Ba and Cl

B - Rb and O

Explanation:

Be and O

Be is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Be²⁺ and O is a nonmetal that gains 2 e⁻ to form O²⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form BeO (E-MX).

Mg and N

Mg is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Mg²⁺ and N is a nonmetal that gains 3 e⁻ to form O³⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form Mg₃N₂ (A-M₃X₂).

Li and Br

Li is a metal that loses 1 e⁻ to form Li⁺ and Br is a nonmetal that gains 1 e⁻ to form Br⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form LiBr (E-MX).

Ba and Cl

Ba is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Ba²⁺ and Cl is a nonmetal that gains 1 e⁻ to form Cl⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form BaCl₂ (F-MX₂).

Rb and O

Rb is a metal that loses 1 e⁻ to form Rb⁺ and O is a nonmetal that gains 2 e⁻ to form O²⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form Rb₂O (B-M₂X).
