What mistake did Carl make?

Answer:
The correct answer is:
'He did not multiply the chlorine and oxygen atoms by the coefficient 4'.
Explanation:
Number of atoms in
The 4 in front of molecular formula of calcium chlorate is its coefficient . it tells us about the molecules or moles of compound.
Number of calcium in 1 molecule of calcium chlorate = 1
Calcium atoms in 4 molecule of calcium chlorate = 1 × 4 = 4
Number of calcium in 1 molecule of calcium chlorate = 2
Chlorine atoms in 4 molecule of calcium chlorate = 2 × 4 = 8
Number of oxygen in 1 molecule of calcium chlorate = 3 × 2 = 6
Oxygen atoms in 4 molecule of calcium chlorate = 6 × 4 = 24
So, number of atoms of different elements calculated by Carl was wrong as he didn't multiplied the coefficient 4 with chlorine and oxygen atoms.

Answer:
A. 0.199 J
B. 0.0663 C
C = 0.0221 F
D. 12.68 ohms
Explanation:
From the question:
time duration, t = 0.28 seconds
Average power, P = 0.71 W
Average voltage, V = 3 V
A) Energy is given as:
E = P * t
=> E = 0.71 * 0.28 = 0.199 J
B) Electrical energy is also given as:
E = qV
where q = charge
=> q = E / V
∴ q = 0.199 / 3 = 0.0663 C
C) Capacitance is given as charge over voltage:
C = q / V
=> C = 0.0663 / 3 = 0.0221 F
D) Electrical power, P, can also be given as:
P =
where R = resistance
=> R =
R =
