<h3>Answer:</h3>

D. CH₃O₆

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • We are given the ratio of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in a compound as 14: 42 : 84

We are supposed to determine the empirical formula of the compound;

  • We need to know what is an empirical formula;
  • An empirical formula of a compound is a formula that shows the simplest whole number ratio of elements in a compound.

In this case;

The ratio of C : H : O is 14 : 42 : 84

  • Note, this is not the simplest ratio.

But we can simplify further to get the simplest whole number ratio;

  • Therefore, 14 : 42 : 84  is equal to 1 : 3 : 6
  • Thus, the simplest whole number ratio of C : H : O in the compound is 1 : 3 : 6
  • Therefore, the empirical formula of the compound is CH₃O₆

What is the condition of water in the hydrosphere right now?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

           A planet's <u>hydrosphere</u> can be<u> liquid</u>, <u>vapor</u>, or <u>ice</u>. On Earth, in the places at the <u>north and south pole</u>, water exists in ice or glacier form, in the <u>atmosphere</u> it exists in vapor form and liquid water exists on the <u>surface</u> in the form of oceans, lakes and rivers. It also exists below ground as <u>groundwater</u>, in wells and aquifers. Water collects in clouds, then falls to Earth in the form of <u>rain or snow</u>,

5. A sample of pure acetyl salicylic acid had a mass of 0.268 grams. It was dissolved in NaOH and diluted to 500.00mL in a volum
Elza [17]

Answer:

a. 5.36x10⁻⁴ g/mL

b. 4.29x10⁻⁵ g/mL

Explanation:

As the units for concentration are not specified, I'll respond using g/mL.

a. We <em>divide the sample mass by the final volume</em> in order to <u>calculate the concentration</u>:

  • 0.268 g / 500 mL = 5.36x10⁻⁴ g/mL

b. We can use C₁V₁=C₂V₂ for this question:

  • 8.00 mL * 5.36x10⁻⁴ g/mL = C₂ * 100.00 mL
  • C₂ = 4.29x10⁻⁵ g/mL

Hydrates that have a low vapor pressure and remove moisture from air are said to be ___. Question 8 options: effloresce hygrosco
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Hygroscopic

Explanation:

An hygroscopic substance is one that absorbs moisture from the atmosphere and becomes wet. Their ability to remove water from air is less than that of deliquescent substances. Most of the solid hygroscopic substances forms pasty substances and not solutions like the deliquescent compounds.

Examples are sodium trioxonitrate(v), copper(ii) oxide e.t.c

Efflorescence compounds gives off their water of crystallization to the atmosphere.
