We can use a ratio to solve this question. Lets refer to the amount formed by the formula as a serving
1 serving needs 3/8 gal
We want to create 7/9 servings extra, so
1 + 7/9 = 16/7
1 : 3/8
16/7 : x
1/(3/8) = (16/7) / x
8 / 3 = 16x / 7
x = 7/6
He needs to use 7/6 gallons of water.

3: Consider molecules of hydrogen (tiny ones) and oxygen (bigger ones) in a gas mixture. If they have the same average kinetic e
mezya [45]

Answer: Hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed.

Explanation:

The formula for average speed is  :

\mu_{av}={\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M}}}

R = gas constant  

T = temperature  

M = Molecular Mass

Now putting all the values:

\frac{\nu_{H_2}}{\nu_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M_{H_2}}}/{\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M_{O_2}}}

\frac{\nu_{H_2}}{\nu_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{16}{2}}

\frac{\nu_{av}_{H_2}}{\nu_{av}_{O_2}}=8

Thus average speed of hydrogen is 8 times the average speed of oxygen. Thus hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed

The lowest whole-number ratio of elements in a compound is called the ?
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The Empirical Formula.

Explanation:

From the empirical formula and using the weight (in g)  of a given substance, we can come up with the molecular formula which is the actual weight of a substance. Sometimes, we find that the empircal formula is the molecular formula.

What evidence is there that marker ink is a mixture
zheka24 [161]
Ink can be separated into black and other color pigments. This can be done on filter paper by dotting the marker just above the edge and adding ethyl alcohol, which drags the pigments separately across the paper.
