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

The pka of hf is 3.2 determine the pkb of hf?
Julli [10]

Well, first we must remember that

pK_{a}+pK_{b}=14

This is because

K_{a}*K_{b}=10^{-14}

-log(K_{a}*K_{b})=-log(10^{-14})\\-logK_{a}+-logK_{b}=-log(10^{-14})\\pK_{a}+pK_{b}=14

So then

pK_{b}=14-pK_{a}=14-3.2=1.8

Composition of the nuclei of two atomic species A and B are given below:
Inessa [10]

Explanation:

(a) mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons

(the atomic number is the number of protons of an element)

mass number of A = 11 + 12 = 23

mass number of B = 17 + 18 = 35

(b) +1 and -1, respectively

(c) A+ + B- → AB (the first plus sign and the minus sign are superscripts)
