Answer:

THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA FOR THE UNKNOWN COMPOUND IS C7H9O

Explanation:

The empirical formula for the unknown compound can be obtained by following the processes below:

1 . Write out the percentage composition of the individual elements in the compound

C = 75.68 %

H = 8.80 %

O = 15.52 %

2. Divide the percentage composition by the atomic masses of the elements

C = 75 .68 / 12 = 6.3066

H = 8.80 / 1 = 8.8000

O = 15.52 / 16 = 0.9700

3. Divide the individual results by the lowest values

C = 6.3066 / 0.9700 = 6.5016

H = 8.8000 / 0.9700 = 9.0722

O = 0.9700 / 0.9700 = 1

4. Round up the values to the whole number

C = 7

H = 9

O = 1

5 Write out the empirical formula for the compound

C7H90

In conclusion, the empirical formula for the unknown compound is therefore C7H9O

which of these statements best describes the law of conservation of mass A) when a physical or a chemical change occurs, matter
vampirchik [111]
The statement which best describes the law of conservation of mass is A) when a physical or a chemical change occurs, matter is not created or destroyed. The law states that matter cannot be created or destroyed by ordinary chemical or physical changes, which means that <span>the mass of all the components of a chemical reaction can be measured before and after the change in order prove that the mass is constant. So, keep in mind that </span><span>the mass of participating products is always the same as the mass of all the reactants.</span>

What is the molarity of a solution of 14.0 g NH4Br in enough H2O to make 150 mL of solution?
kiruha [24]
The molarity of a solution equals to the mole number of the solute/the volume of the solution. For NH4Br, we know that the mole mass is 98. So the molarity is (14/98) mol /0.15 L=0.95 mol/L.

How far apart must two point charges of 75.0 nC (typical of static electricity) be to have a force of 1.00 N between them? (answ
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

7.12 mm

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

F = kqq'/r².................... Equation 1

Where F = force, k = proportionality constant, q and q' = The two point charges, r = distance between the two charges.

Make r the subject of the equation,

r = √(kqq'/F).......................... Equation 2

Given: q = q' = 75.0 nC = 75×10⁻⁹ C, F = 1.00 N

Constant: k = 9.0×10⁹ Nm²/C².

Substitute into equation 2

r = √[ (75×10⁻⁹ )²9.0×10⁹/1]

r = 75×10⁻⁹.√(9.0×10⁹)

r = (75×10⁻⁹)(9.49×10⁴)

r = 711.75×10⁻⁵

r = 7.12×10⁻³ m

r = 7.12 mm

Hence the distance between the point charge = 7.12 mm
