<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 relationship between relative size of an ion and its neutral atom and the charge on the ions?
Vsevolod [243]
<span>With the addition of an electron causing a negative charge, an ion is larger than normal but with loss of an atoms electron, the positive ion is smaller. if the atom loses an electron, the ion is relatively smaller than the atom and it becomes positive. if the atom gains an electron, the ion is relatively bigger than the atom and it becomes negative.</span>

Which part of an object's rate of change best defines acceleration?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

The change of velocity rate it's the definition of acceleration.

While increasing or decreasing velocity, it means that an acceleration it's happening.

Using some math:

a=\frac{dv}{dt}

This can be read as "the acceleration it's equal to te variation of velocity with respect to time"
