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.

Do chemical equations with no reaction still have to be balanced
dangina [55]

Answer:

The same number of atoms of each element must appear on both sides of a chemical equation. However, simply writing down the chemical formulas of reactants and products does not always result in equal numbers of atoms. You have to balance the equation to make the number of atoms equal on each side of an equation.

Which is a substance that could be found in air, water, or soil that is harmful to humans or animals? carbon dioxide fossil fuel
quester [9]
Hi!

The substance that could be found in air, water or soil that is harmful to humans or animals is called pollutant.

Pollutants are the only harmful substances that can be found in these three places. Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is commonly found in the air, fossil fuels are found in soil and water and smog is found in the air. Only pollutant can be found in these three places as there are varied in its chemical structure. Common pollutants include Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂) which can be found in the air, and Lead, which can be found in water or soil.

The cells of a tomato contain mostly an aqueous solution of sugar and other substances. If a typical tomato freezes at -2.5 °C,
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

1.35 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the <em>freezing point depression formula</em>:

  • ΔT = Kf * m * i

Where:

  • ΔT is the temperature difference between the freezing point of the pure solvent (water) and the solution. In this case it is (<em>0 °C - -2.5 °C = 2.5 °C</em>).
  • Kf is the cryoscopic constant, <em>for water it is 1.853  °C*kg/mol.</em>
  • m is the molality.
  • i is the van't Hoff factor, <em>as sugar does not dissociate in water, it has a value of 1</em>.

We <u>input the data</u>:

  • 2.5 °C = 1.853 °C*kg/mol * m * 1

And <u>solve for m</u>:

  • m = 1.35 m
