What is the major divide or ridgeline that separate Virginia's watersheds?

rewona [7]

In Virginia, the continental divide separates the New River from the Roanoake and James River. East of the continental divide, the rivers flow east or south toward the Atlantic Ocean. West of the continental divide, the rivers flow north or west toward the Gulf of Mexico by way of the Ohio and the Mississippi Rivers.

I/3 of 12 = 2/3 of please help at 11 o'clock am it needs to be done

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question is seeking for an equivalent of one expression. The first expression says 1/3 of 12, which means 1/3 × 12 = 4. To find 2/3 of a number that will give us 4, we say

Since; 1/3 of 12 is 4

Then, 4 = 2/3 of x, where x is the number, which when multiplied by two-third (2/3) will result to 4.

4 = 2/3 × x

4 = 2x/3

Cross multiply

2x = 3 × 4

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6.

This means that; 1/3 of 12 = 2/3 of 6

Determine the empirical formula of a compound containing 48.38 grams of carbon, 6.74 grams of hydrogen, and 53.5 grams of oxygen

Darya [45]

Answer: The empirical formula of the compound becomes $CH_2O$

Explanation:

The empirical formula is the chemical formula of the simplest ratio of the number of atoms of each element present in a compound.

We are given:

Mass of C = 48.38 g

Mass of H = 6.74 g

Mass of O = 53.5 g

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of H = 1 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of C}=\frac{48.38g}{12g/mol}=3.023 mol$

$\text{Moles of H}=\frac{6.74g}{1g/mol}=6.74 mol$

$\text{Moles of O}=\frac{53.5g}{1g/mol}=3.34 mol$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

Calculating the mole fraction of each element by dividing the calculated moles by the least calculated number of moles that is 3.023 moles

$\text{Mole fraction of C}=\frac{3.023}{3.023}=1$

$\text{Mole fraction of H}=\frac{6.74}{3.023}=2.23\approx 2$

$\text{Mole fraction of O}=\frac{3.34}{3.023}=1.105\approx 1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula of the compound becomes $CH_2O$

Calculate the ph of a buffer that is 0.13m in lactic acid and 0.10m in sodium lactate.

Alona [7]

According to Henderson–Hasselbalch Equation,

pH = pKa + log [Lactate] / [Lactic Acid]
As,
Ka of Lactic Acid = 1.38 × 10⁻⁴

pKa = -log Ka
pKa = -log 1.38 × 10⁻⁴
pKa = 3.86
So,
pH = 3.86 + log [0.10] / [0.13]

pH = 4.74 + log 0.769

pH = 4.74 - 0.11

pH = 4.63
