Answer:

THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA OF THE SUBSTANCE IS C2H5NO

Explanation:

The steps involved in calculating the empirical formula of this substance in shown in the table below:

Element                            Carbon           Hydrogen          Nitrogen         Oxygen

1. % Composition              40.66              8.53                 23.72                27.09

2. Mole ratio =

%mass/ atomic mass       40.66/12         8.53/1          23.72/14            27.09/16

                                       =  3.3883            8.53              1,6943             1.6931

3. Divide by smallest

value (0.6931)          3.3883/1.6931    8.53/1.6931    1.6943/1.6931   1.6931/1.6931

                               =      2.001                  5.038           1.0007                      1

4. Whole number ratio        2                       5                   1                               1

The empirical formula = C2H5NO

Which chemical equation demonstrates the law of conservation of mass!
zlopas [31]

Answer:

F. 2NO + 02 —> 2NO

H. 4NH3 + 502 —> 4NO + 6H20

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but can be convert from one form to another.

2NO + 02 —> 2NO

From the above, the total number of N on the left balance the total number on the right i.e 2 atoms of N on both side of the equation.

The total number of O on the left balance the total number on the right i.e 2 atoms of O on both side of the equation. This is certified by the law of conservation of mass.

4NH3 + 502 —> 4NO + 6H20

From the above, the total number of N on the left balance the total number on the right i.e 4 atoms of N on both side of the equation.

The total number of O on the left balance the total number on the right i.e 10 atoms of O on both side of the equation.

The total number of H on the left balance the total number on the right i.e 12 atoms of O on both side of the equation.

This is certified by the law of conservation of mass.

The rest equation did not conform to the law of conservation of mass as the atoms on the left side did not balance those on the right side

Describe what happens in a condensation reactions
dlinn [17]
A condensation reaction is described to be a reaction wherein two molecules form an even larger product and consequently produces a smaller molecule as a by-product. For example, when two amino acids are combined, a dipeptide bond is formed. As a result, 1 molecule of water is produced as a by-product.

Choose an organism that you are familiar with, and explain how the three parts of the cell theory relate to the organism
jek_recluse [69]
Organism: Apple
All cells from the apple come from cell division occurring from the apple in order for it to grow. 
An apple has multiple cells
The small living part in an apple is a cell thus showing that cells are the basic living unit.

Which biogeochemical cycle is the only one that does not include the atmosphere?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Phosphorus cycle

Explanation:

Biogeochemical cycle, any of the natural pathways by which essential elements of living matter are circlated.

There are four types of biogeochemical cycle, they are ; water cycle,carbon cycle,nitrogen cycle and phosphorous cycle

Carbon cycle is the cycle in which photosynthesis and cellular respiration take place.

Water cycle involves transpiration.

Nitrogen cycle Is the cycle that is dependent upon bacteria for nitrogen fixation and denitrification.

Phosphorus cycle is one of the slowest biogeochemical cycle. It does not stay in the atmosphere, because it is normally in a liquid state at room temperature. It does not include the atmosphere.
