Answer:

CH.

Explanation:

  • If the mass of the sample is 1.0 g, this means that it contains 6.1 g hydrogen and 93.9 g oxygen.
  • We can obtain the no. of moles by dividing by its atomic masses.

The no. of moles of hydrogen = mass / atomic mass = (6.10 g)/(1.00 g/mol) = 6.10 mol.

The no. of moles of oxygen = mass / atomic mass = (93.90 g)/(16.00 g/mol) = 5.86 mol.

  • We can obtain the empirical formula of the compound by dividing both no. of moles by the lowest no. of moles (5.86)

∴ The ratio of H:O is (1.04: 1.00) which is mainly 1.0: 1.0.

<em>So, the empirical formula of the compound is CH.</em>

RSB [31]
POH value was calculated by the negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration.
To know the hydrogen ion concentration, we need to know the pH value, that can be found out if pOH is known 
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - pOH 
pH = 10.65
once the pH is known we have to find the antilog. 
[H⁺] = antilog (-pH)
antilog can be found by 
[H⁺] = 10^(-10.65)
[H⁺] = 2.2 x 10⁻¹¹ M

grigory [225]
[H+] in first brand:
4.5 = -log([H+])
[H+] = 10^(-4.5)

[H+] in second brand:
5 = -log[H+]
[H+] = 10^(-5)

Difference = 10^(-4.5) - 10^(-5)
= 2.2 x 10⁻⁵

The answer is A.
