The empirical formula is C₇H₆O₂.

Assume that you have 100 g of the compound.

Then you have 68.84 g C and 4.962 g H.

Mass of O = (100 – 68.84 – 4.962) g = 26.20 g O.

Now, we must convert these masses to moles and find their ratios.

From here on, I like to summarize the calculations in a table.

<u>Element</u>     <u>Mass/g</u>    <u>Moles</u>    <u>Ratio</u>    <u> ×2</u>   <u>Integers</u>  

     C           68.84      5.732    3.501  7.001       7

     H            4.962    4.923    3.006  6.012      6

     O          26.20      1.638     1          2             2

The empirical formula is C₇H₆O₂.

When 20 grams of KCIO3, is dissolved in 100 grams of water, the solution can be
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

b. unsaturated .

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out necessary for us to bear to mind the definition of each type of solution:

- Supersaturated solution: comprises a large amount of solute at a temperature at which it will be able to crystalize upon standing.

- Unsaturated solution: is a solution in which a solvent is able to dissolve any more solute at a given temperature.

- Saturated solution can be defined as a solution in which a solvent is not capable of dissolving any more solute at a given temperature.

In such a way, since 20 grams of the solute are less than the solubility, we infer this is b. unsaturated, as 33.3 grams of solute can be further added to the 100 grams of water.

Regards!
