Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
To Find : Which represents the empirical formula for?
Solution:
Definition of Empirical Formula - A formula that gives the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.
To reduce it in simplest form
Divide the subscript numbers by 3
So, the resultant :
Thus the empirical formula for :
Answer: Draw a line through the two points (0,2) and (3,3). See the attached image below.
How did I get these two points? The first point comes from the fact that "at the start, the height is 2 inches" meaning that x = 0 hours and y = 2 inches pair up together. This is show as point A. This is the y intercept as this is the location where the blue graph crosses the vertical y axis.
Point B is found by moving 1 unit up from point A and 3 units to the right to land on (3,3). So we have x = 3 hours and y = 3 inches pair up together.
Note: the slope is rise/run = 1/3 helping us determine the unit rate or speed in which the water is rising (ie the water is rising one-third of an inch per hour)
