Answer:
CH2O
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to convert the masses of the elements to percentage compositions. This can be done by placing the mass of each element over the total mass multiplied by 100% . We can start with carbon.
C = 5.692/14.229 * 100 = 40%
O = 7.582/14.229 * 100 = 53.29%
H = 0.955/14.229 * 100 = 6.71%
We then proceed to divide each percentage composition by their atomic mass of 12, 16 and 1 respectively.
C = 40/12 = 3.333
O = 53.29/16 = 3.33
H = 6.71/2 = 6.71
Dividing by the smaller value which is 3.33
C = 3.33/3.33 = 1
O = 3.33/3.33= 1
H = 6.71/3.33 = 2
The empirical formula of the compound ribose is CH2O
The answer to this question would be C
The calculation is (Measurement in m³ x 1000³)
Therefore
Measurement in m³ x 1 000 000
Its not a fraction as there are 1000mm in a m, so to convert from m to mm you must multiply
Answer:
Age of rock = 722 million years old
Explanation:
Using the formula; <em>fraction remaining = 0.5ⁿ</em>
where n = number of half lives elapsed.
However, from the given values, fraction remaining = 1.000 - 0.0105
fraction remaining = 0.9895
Substituting in the formula to determine the number of half-lives:
0.9895 = 0.5ⁿ
log 0.9895 = n log 0.5
-0.0045842 = -0.30103 n
number of half lives elapsed, n = 0.0152
Therefore age of rock = 0.0152 x 4.75 x 10¹⁰ years = 7.22 x10⁸ years
Age of rock = 722 million years old
