The empirical formula for this vitamin : C₃H₄O₃
<h3>Further explanation
</h3>
The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound =mole ratio of the components
The principle of determining empirical formula
- Determine the mass ratio of the constituent elements of the compound.
- Determine the mole ratio by dividing the percentage by the atomic mass
Mass of C in CO₂ :(MW C = 12 g/mol, CO₂=44 g/mol)
Mass of H in H₂O :(MW H = 1 g/mol, H₂O = 18 g/mol)
Mass O = Mass sample - (mass C + mass H) :
mol ratio C : H : O =
C) Thermal energy. Your body turns the mechanical energy into thermal energy.
From the reaction between Cu and HNO₃, the formed gas is NO₂ instead of NO₃. Hence the correct balanced equation would be,
Cu(s) + 4HNO₃(aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NO₂(g) + 2H₂O<span>(l)
Here, Cu goes to </span>Cu(NO₃)₂ by changing its oxidation number from 0 to +2 while NO₃⁻ goes to NO₂ by reducing its oxidation state from +5 to +4 . Hence Cu is oxidized by HNO₃ in the reaction.

These messages are taken from different parts of the body to brain and these nerves are spreading all over the body.</span>
