H2O is the chemical formula of water. It means that each molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms, indicated by the letter H, and a single oxygen atom, represented by the O. Water is a chemical substance with no smell, taste, or color.
Answer:
The empirical formula for the compound is C3H4O3
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Carbon (C) = 40.92%
Hydrogen (H) = 4.58%
Oxygen (O) = 54.50%
The empirical formula for the compound can be obtained as follow:
C = 40.92%
H = 4.58%
O = 54.50%
Divide by their molar mass
C = 40.92/12 = 3.41
H = 4.58/1 = 4.58
O = 54.50/16 = 3.41
Divide by the smallest i.e 3.41
C = 3.41/3.41 = 1
H = 4.58/3.41 = 1.3
O = 3.41/3.41 = 1
Multiply through by 3 to express in whole number
C = 1 x 3 = 3
H = 1.3 x 3 = 4
O = 1 x 3 = 3
The empirical formula for the compound is C3H4O3
Answer:
Explanation:
half life = 1600 years .
m = M x 
m is mass of the radioactive object after n half lives , M is original mass.
n = 4800 / 1600
= 4
Putting the valus of n and M we have
m = .25 x 
= .03125 g .
