A laboratory analysis of an unknown sample yields 74.0% carbon, 7.4% hydrogen, 8.6% nitrogen, and 10.0% oxygen. What is the empi

rical formula of the sample? Give your answer in the form C#H#N#O# where the number following the element’s symbol corresponds to the subscript in the formula. (Don’t include a 1 subscript explicitly). For example, the formula CH 22 O would be entered as CH2O.

Let us assume that there is a 100g sample present. The respective mass of each element will then be:
C: 74 g
H: 7.4 g
N: 8.6 g
O: 10 g
Now, we divide each constituent's mass by its Mr to obtain the moles of each
C: (74 / 12) = 6.17
H: (7.4 / 1) = 7.4
N: (8.6 / 14) = 0.61
O: (10 / 16) = 0.625
Dividing by the smallest number:
C: 10
H: 12
N: 1
O: 1
Thus, the empirical formula is
C10H12NO

What is nitrogens part in the atmosphere
Kamila [148]
<span>The atmosphere is composed mainly of air molecules. And air molecules consist of 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen. Oxygen is used for a lot of things. It used for cellular respiration, for humans to breathe and other complex chemical reactions that needs oxygen. Nitrogen is one of the important nutrients mostly used in the soil of the plants. It is used for protein synthesis. Nitrogen is also absorbed by the plants from the and the soil to complete the necessary reactions.   </span>

What does a marine fossil in the desert tell scientists?
vredina [299]

The correct answer is C.

There are examples of desserts that were once seas and oceans.The Tethys sea that once covered the Sahara desert retreated.  Because the earth has tectonic plates that are constantly moving and shifting, places that were once oceans may be raised up high above sea level causing the sea to retreat. Marine life that once lived in the ocean and died will remain there and may be uncovered as time goes on.  For this reason, if marine fossils are found in the desert it means that at some point in history, that area was once under water.
