The  empirical formula  for a compound   is KClO3

     Explanation 
 
find  the  moles of each  element
moles  = % composition/molar  mass

molar  mass of  of  potassium =39g/mol ,chlorine = 35.5 g/mol, oxygen =16 g/mol

moles  of potassium  =  31.9 / 39 = 0.818  moles
moles of  chlorine    = 28.9/35.5 = 0.814 moles
moles of   oxygen  =  39.2/  16 =  2.45  moles


find the  mole ratio  by  dividing   with  the smallest  mole = 0.814  moles

potassium = 0.818/0.814  =1  
chlorine  =  0.814/0.814 = 1
oxygen =  2.45 /0.814 =3 


the empirical  formula   is therefore = KClO3

Which ecosystem is more likely to become unstable one with many kinds of plants and animals or one with few kinds?
Art [367]

Answer:

One with a few kinds is more likely to become unstable.

Explanation:

A lack of biodiversity means there is a lower chance of them having traits that enable them to adapt to a changing environment. A lack of biodiversity is usually caused by humans. It could be the result of habitat loss, invasive species, overexploitation, pollution, or climate change.

A compound with molecular formula C6H15N exhibits a singlet at d 0.9 ppm (1H), a triplet at 1.10 ppm (3H), a singlet at 1.15 ppm
Triss [41]

Answer:

CH3 - CH2 - NH - C(CH3)3

Explanation:

The 1HNMR is the acronym for Proton nuclear magnetic resonance and it is used in chemistry or Chemical laboratory for the analysis and identification of compounds.

In order to be able to answer the question accurately you have to have the tables containing all the values for chemical shift. The Chemical shift is measured in ppm and it occur due to Resonance frequency variation.

From the table, a singlet at 1.15 ppm (9H) is - C(CH3)3.

A singlet at d 0.9 ppm (1H) shows the presence of a secondary amine group, that is -R2NH group.

A triplet at 1.10 ppm (3H) shows that we have;

CH3- CH2-

A quartet at 2.6 ppm (2H) shows that we have;

-CH2 - CH3.

Therefore, joining all together we have;

CH3 - CH2 - NH - C(CH3)3.

Kindly check attached file for the picture of the structure.
