Answer:

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Therefore, a is true.

An empirical formula is the simplest ratio of atoms present in a compound. Therefore, C2H4O2 and C3H6O3, (if you simplified them like you would a fraction) would be CH2O. Therefore b is correct,

They also have the same % composition, with a ratio of 1 carbon : 2 hydrogen : 1 oxygen. Therefore, c is correct.

Since a, b and c are all correct, the answer is d, all of the above are true.

C7H8 First, determine the number of relative moles of each element we have and the molar masses of the products. atomic mass of carbon = 12.0107 atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.00794 atomic mass of oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass of CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 Molar mass of H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488 We have 5.27 mg of CO2, so 5.27 / 44.0087 = 0.119749 milli moles of CO2 And we have 1.23 mg of H2O, so 1.23 / 18.01488 = 0.068277 milli moles of H2O Since there's 1 carbon atom per CO2 molecule, we have 0.119749 milli moles of carbon. Since there's 2 hydrogen atoms per H2O molecules, we have 2 * 0.068277 = 0.136554 milli moles of hydrogen atoms. Now we need to find a simple integer ratio that's close to 0.119749 / 0.136554 = 0.876937 Looking at all fractions n/m where n ranges from 1 to 10 and m ranges from 1 to 10, I find a closest match at 7/8 = 0.875 with an error of only 0.001937, the next closest match has an error over 6 times larger. So let's go with the 7/8 ratio. The numerator in the ratio was for carbon atoms, and the denominator was for hydrogen. So the empirical formula for toluene is C7H8.

Answer: The tree was burned 16846.4 years ago to make the ancient charcoal

Explanation:

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

where,

$t_{1/2}$ = half life of the reaction = 5715 years

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{5715yrs}=1.21\times 10^{-4}yrs^{-1}$

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}yr^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process = ? yr

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the sample = 100 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process = 13 grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.21\times 10^{-4}=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{100}{13}\\\\t=16864.4yrs$

Hence, the tree was burned 16846.4 years ago to make the ancient charcoal

Recovery standards are a necessary tool for determining exactly how much of a particular analyte you are able to extract from a

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

2.05mg Fe/ g sample

Explanation:

In all chemical extractions you lose analyte. Recovery standards are a way to know how many analyte you lose.

In the problem you recover 3.5mg Fe / 1.0101g sample: 3.465mg Fe / g sample. As real concentration of the standard is 4.0 mg / g of sample the percent of recovery extraction is:

3.465 / 4×100 = 86,6%

As the recovery of your sample was 1.7mg Fe / 0.9582g, the Iron present in your sample is:

1.7mg Fe / 0.9582g sample× (100/86.6) = 2.05mg Fe / g sample

I hope it helps!

Explanation:

if you look at parents and their children. you see their eyes and you see the child's eyes. they could have the same eyes. if you look at both noses you can see that one is similar to the other one. hair texture, lets say a mom has thin hair, and the father also has thin hair. the child more likely will have thin hair as well. you only inhertit dialect when your around that person for a long time.

What is the mole ratio of H2O to C8H8?

zepelin [54]

Answer:

Mole ratio for a compound

The chemical formula tells us the mole ratio.

CO2 = 1 CO2 molecule : 1 C atom : 2 O atoms.

Mole ratio for a reaction

The balanced chemical reactions tells us.

C12H22O11 + 12 O2  12 CO2 + 11 H2O

1 C12H22O11 molecule: 12 O2 molecules : 12 CO2

molecules : 11 H2O molecules.
