4 0

Answer:

Empirical formula is  KHO₃C.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of potassium = 39.0%

Percentage of hydrogen = 1.01%

Percentage of carbon = 12.0%

Percentage of oxygen = 47.9%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of K = 39.0/ 39 = 1

Number of gram atoms of H = 1.01 / 1.01 = 1

Number of gram atoms of O = 47.9 / 16 = 3

Number of gram atoms of C = 12 / 12 = 1

Atomic ratio:

K               :            H                  :      O            :      C

1/1              :             1/1                :     3/1          ;       1/1

 1              :              1                  :        3          :        1

K : H : O :C =  1: 1 : 3 : 1

Empirical formula is  KHO₃C.

0.446 g of hydrogen gas fills a 5.0 L bag determine the density of hydrogen
Oduvanchick [21]

The density of hydrogen : ρ = 0.0892 g/L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass of Hydrogen : 0.446 g

Volume = 5 L

Required

The density

Solution

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume  

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume  

The unit of density can be expressed in g/cm³, kg/m³, or g/L

Density formula:  

\large {\boxed {\bold {\rho ~ = ~ \frac {m} {V}}}}

Input the value :

ρ = m : V

ρ = 0.446 g : 5 L

ρ = 0.0892 g/L

Which formula is an empirical formula? (1) CH4 (2) C2 H6 (3) C3 H6 (4) C4 H10
rosijanka [135]
CH4 is an emprirical formula as it shows the simplest ratio of the numbers of different atoms present in the molecule. The empirical formula for CH4 is also the same as the molecular formula.
The other compunds can be simplified so they are not the empirical formula of compounds.
Hope this helps :).

Compare and Contrast the two common forces of gravity and friction.
____ [38]

Answer:

Gravity always pulls objects such as a desk, book or person down. Thus, when you jump gravity causes you to land on the ground. Friction, however, doesn't pull objects down
