Answer:
CH2O
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to convert the masses of the elements to percentage compositions. This can be done by placing the mass of each element over the total mass multiplied by 100% . We can start with carbon.
C = 5.692/14.229 * 100 = 40%
O = 7.582/14.229 * 100 = 53.29%
H = 0.955/14.229 * 100 = 6.71%
We then proceed to divide each percentage composition by their atomic mass of 12, 16 and 1 respectively.
C = 40/12 = 3.333
O = 53.29/16 = 3.33
H = 6.71/2 = 6.71
Dividing by the smaller value which is 3.33
C = 3.33/3.33 = 1
O = 3.33/3.33= 1
H = 6.71/3.33 = 2
The empirical formula of the compound ribose is CH2O
<u>Answer:</u>
The correct answer option is a) collisions between the particles and surrounding molecules.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The collisions between the particles and surrounding molecules causes the Brownian motion of particles in a colloid.
Brownian motion is the irregular movement of the microscopic particles in a fluid which bombard into each other.
It basically is the result of the molecules of a dispersion medium colliding with the dispersed particles of the phase.
Answer:
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
Explanation:
The expression of the equation is given as:
_H₂ + 2O₂ → 2H₂O
Now for expression above,
Reactants Products
H 2 4
O 4 2
to balance the equation, we use 2 moles of hydrogen gas and 1 mole of oxygen gas;
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
