The  empirical  formula of the  compound is  calculated  as  follows

first   calculate  the  mass  of  oxygen=  12-(4.09  +3.71)=  5.02g

then  calculate  the  moles  of  each  element,  moles  =  mass/  molar  mass

moles of   K  =  4.09g/39 g/mol(molar  mass  of K)  =  0.105  moles
moles  of Cl = 3.71g/35.5 g/mol(molar  mass  of Cl) =  0.105  moles
moles of  O  =  5.02g/ 16g/mol(molar  mass of  O) = 0.314  moles

then  calculate e  mole ratio by  dividing  each  mole  by  the  smallest  number  of  moles  (  0.105 moles)

K=0.105/0.105= 1
Cl=0.105 /0.105=1
O=  0.314/0.105=3

therefore  the  empirical   formula  = KClO3

What is determined by calculating the slope of the position versus time graph distance
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Determining the Slope on a p-t Graph. It was learned earlier in Lesson 3 that the slope of the line on a position versus time graph is equal to the velocity of the object. ... If the object has a velocity of 0 m/s, then the slope of the line will be 0 m/s. The slope of the line on a position versus time graph tells it all.

Andru [333]

Answer: Revoke the driver's license for at least 12 months

Explanation:

Chemical tests are used in order to measure the amount of drugs or alcohol that is in the body of a person when the person was arrested. To do this, samples of the urine or blood of the person can be taken and the result will be used to know if the person was driving under the influence of alcohol or not.

If the person refuse a legal chemical test issued by a law enforcement officer, the Division of Motor Vehicles is required to revoke the the driver's license of the person for at least 12 months.
