Answer:

CHO

Explanation:

Carbon = 41%,  Hydrogen = 4.58%, oxygen = 54.6%

Step 1:

Divide through by their respective relative atomic masses

41/ 12,         4.58/1,         54.6/16

3.41              4.58            3.41

Step 2:

Divide by the lowest ratio:

3.41/3.41,      4.58/3.41,     3.41/3.41

1,                    1,                  1

Hence the empirical formula is CHO

A mixture of three noble gases has a total pressure of 1.25 atm. The individual pressures exerted by neon and argon are 0.68
FinnZ [79.3K]

First of all, as you seen the gases are noble which means that will not react with each other and in this case each gas create individual pressure.  

P_{T}= total pressure  

P_{Ne} = pressure of neon  

P_{Ar} = pressure of argon  

P_{He} = pressure of helium {which is required}

P_{T} = P_{Ne} + P_{Ar} + P_{He}    

1.25 = 0.68 + 0.35 +  P_{He}

P_{He}   = 1.25  - [0.68 + 0.35] = 0.22 atm

Describe the reason why a reaction between two substances comes to an end.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: The process by which a particular substance or different substances are transformed to another is called as Chemical Reaction.One reason, in the case of reversible reactions could be that the reaction reached equilibrium before the reaction was complete.Chemical reactions occur when chemical bonds between atoms are formed or broken. The substances that go into a chemical reaction are called the reactants, and the substances produced at the end of the reaction are known as the products.The concentration of reactants decreases as the reaction proceeds and at last their concentration comes to an end. Hence, the reaction stops too. If two reactants are being reacted, then the reactant which is in limited amount will consume first and will result in the termination of reaction.The usual reason is that one (or more) of the reactants gets used up.

Hope that was helpful.Thank you!!!

Compare the type of change that occurs when an iron bar rusts and when a substance freezes.
Ivanshal [37]

Explanation:

when an iron bar rust is an example of a chemical change in which a new substance is formed and the change is not easily reversible.for iron to rust moisture and air must be present.while when a substance freezes,it can be easily reversed through melting and no new substance is formed.this change is termed a physical change.

What is the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons when cesium is exposed to UV rays of frequency 1.0×1015Hz?
Anvisha [2.4K]
In order to emit electrons, the cesium will have to absorb photons. Each photon will knock out one electron by transferring its energy to the electron. Therefore, by the principle of energy conservation, the energy of the removed electron will be equal to the energy of the incident photon. That energy is calculated using Planck's equation:

E = hf

E = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ * 1 x 10¹⁵
E =  6.63 x 10⁻¹⁹ Joules

The electron will have 6.63 x 10⁻¹⁹ Joules of kinetic energy
