Answer:

molecular formula = C₃H₆O₃

Explanation:

The empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound obtained by converting the moles of each atom to the simplest ratio.

In order to determine the molecular formula we will first calculate the empirical formula mass of compound.

Empirical formula mass = mass of C + 2 X mass of hydrogen + mass of O

Empirical formula mass = 12 + 2 +16 = 30

given molecular mass = 90.087

Let us divide the molecular mass by Empirical formula mass

ratio = 90.087 / 30 = 3 (approx)

Thus the molecular formula = 3 X empirical formula of compound

molecular formula = 3 (CH₂O)

molecular formula = C₃H₆O₃

To find the molecular formula of the compound, we get the molar mass of empirical formula CH2o which is 30 g/mol. We divided  the molecular mass of 90.087 g/mol by 30, we get 3. Hence, we multiply each element by 3, getting the molecular formula of C3H6O3.

Which term names the group of organisms able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring?
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Species

Explanation:

Species is the group of organisms able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring.

Let's break down each word in the question:

"Organisms" means living thing. It can be a plant or animal like we usually think of, but it also includes the really small single-celled living things like some bacteria.

"Interbreed" means to mate with each other.

"Fertile" means that the living thing can also have babies.

"Offspring" means the children that are born.

"Fertile offspring" means that the children that are made must be able to have babies of their own. For example, if a frog and a bird could interbreed, they might produce offspring (children). But, if those frog-birds cannot also have children, then frog-bird is not a species.

Hi there!

The <span>major accomplishment of the Apollo missions was to successfully land Americans on the Moon and to return them safely to Earth. One major reason for this was to establish a way for us to travel to other celestial bodies safely so we could research them and study how they work or to see if they are inhabitable.
