To find the empirical formula you would first need to find the moles of each element:

58.8g/ 12.0g = 4.9 mol C

9.9g/ 1.0g = 9.9 mol H

31.4g/ 16.0g = 1.96 O

Then you divide by the smallest number of moles of each:

4.9/1.96 = 2.5

9.9/1.96 = 6

1.96/1.96 = 1

Since there is 2.5, you find the least number that makes each moles a whole number which is 2.

So the empirical formula is C5H12O2.

1. Alexa and her family travelled 5 hours south east on 1-45 to crystal

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Average speed = 68 mph

Explanation:

Given that,

Total distance traveled by the family, d = 340 miles

The family traveled 5 hours southeast.

We need to find her average speed. The speed of an object is given by the total distance covered divided by time taken. So,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

Put all the values,

$v=\dfrac{340}{5}\\\\v=68\ mph$

So, her average speed is equal to 68 mph.
