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 lab technician needs a 40% solution of a certain chemical for an experiment, but the lab that she works in only has a 20% solu
Snezhnost [94]

To determine the volume of both concentration of the solution to make another concentration of solution, we need to set up two equations since we have two unknowns. <span>

For the first equation, we do a mass balance:

mass of 50% solution + mass of 20% solution = mass of 40% solution
M1 + M2 = M3

For the second equation, we do a component balance,</span>

<span>
M1(50%) + M2(20%) = M3(40%)
.50M1 + .20M2 = .40M3

To determine the ratio, we assume we have to make a 100 g of the 40% solution. So, the equation would change to</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>M1 + M2 = 100</span>

.50M1 + .20M2 = (100)(.40) = 40


Solving for M1 and M2,

M1 = 66.67 g

M2 = 33.33 g


So, the ratio of the 20% and the 50% would be approximately 33.33/66.67 = 0.5.

What is the frequency of light that has a<br>wavelength of 244 pm?​
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

f =  0.0123 × 10²⁰ s⁻¹

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength = 244 pm

Frequency = ?

Solution:

First of all we will convert the pm into meter.

244 pm. 1 m / 10¹² pm =  244× 10⁻¹² m

Formula:

f = c/ λ

f = frequency

c = speed of light

λ = wavelength

Now we will put the values in formula.

f = c/ λ

f = 3 × 10⁸ m.s⁻¹ / 244× 10⁻¹² m

f =  0.0123 × 10²⁰ s⁻¹
