 <span>First - you need the empirical formula. 

So, assume you have 100 g of the compound. 

If so, you'll have 54.53 gram of C, 9.15 g of H and 36.32 g of O. Find the number of moles of each. 

54.53 g C (1 mole C / 12.01 g C) = 4.540 

9.15 g H (1 mole H / 1.008 g H) = 9.077 

36.32 g O (1 mole O / 15.9994 g O) = 2.270 

Take the smallest number found and divide the others by it to get the empirical formula. 

4.540/2.270 = 2. 
9.077/2.270 = 4. 
2.270/2.270 =1. 

So, that gives you the empirical formula of C2H4O. 

Find the weight of this compound. C = 12, H = 1, O = 16. So, C2H4O is 44 amu. 

132/44 = 3. 

So, 3 (C2 H4 O) = C6H12O3 = molecular formula.</span>

The weathered debris in deserts consists mainly of
vampirchik [111]

Answer;

C. unchanged rock and mineral fragments

Explanation;

A large number of landforms and features found in desert environments are formed as the result of weathering. Weathering is defined as the breakdown and deposition of rocks by weather acting in situ

The two main types of weathering which occur in deserts are Mechanical weathering, which is the disintegration of a rock by mechanical forces that do not change the rock's chemical composition and Chemical weathering, which is the decomposition of a rock by the alteration of its chemical composition.

By contrast much of the weathered debris in deserts has resulted from mechanical weathering. Chemical weathering, however, is not completely absent in deserts. Over long time spans,clays and thin soils do form.

Which element has the following electron configuration: <br> 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p5
Natasha2012 [34]
Try adding spaces next time! That's iodine. Check all of the numbers to make sure all of the orbitals are filled, then find the ones which aren't. In this one, only the 5p5 subshell isn't full. 5p5 is the fifth row on the right side, count across the nonmetals and metalloids until the fifth one (a halogen). That's iodine, and that's your answer!
