Answer:

C4H8O

Explanation:

We can get the answer through calculations as follows.

From the mass of carbon iv oxide produced, we can get the number of moles of carbon produced. We first divide the mass by the molar mass of carbon iv oxide. The molar mass of carbon iv oxide is 44g/mol

The number of moles of carbon iv oxide is 10.3/44 = 0.2341

Since there is only one carbon atom in CO2, the number of moles of carbon is same as above

The mass of carbon in the compound is simply the number of moles multiplied by the atomic mass unit. The atomic mass unit of carbon is 12. The mass of carbon in the compound is thus 12 * 0.2341= 2.8091

From the number of moles of water, we can get the number of moles of hydrogen. To get the number of moles of water, we need to divide the mass of water by its molar mass. Its molar mass is 18g/mol. The number of moles here is thus 4.2/18 = 0.2333

But there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in 1 mole of water and thus, the number of moles of hydrogen is 2 * 0.2333 = 0.4667 moles

The mass of hydrogen is thus 0.4667* 1 = 0.4667

The mass of oxygen equals the mass of the compound minus that of hydrogen and that of carbon.

= 4.2 - 0.4667 - 2.8091 = 0.9242

The number of moles of oxygen is the mass of oxygen divided by its atomic mass unit.

That equals 0.9242/16 = 0.0577625 moles

The empirical formula can be obtained by dividing the number of moles of each by the smallest which is that of oxygen

H = 0.4667/0.0577625 = 8

O = 0.0577625/0.0577625 = 1

C = 0.2341/0.0577625 = 4

The empirical formula is thus C4H8O

Answer for number 1. Weight is the force of gravity. It acts in a downward direction—toward the center of the Earth.

Lift is the force that acts at a right angle to the direction of motion through the air. Lift is created by differences...

Thrust is the force that propels a flying machine in the direction of motion. Engines produce thrust.

2. For an airplane to takeoff, thrust must be greater than drag and lift must be greater than weight. To maintain level flight, lift must equal weight and thrust must equal drag. For landing, thrust must be less than drag, and lift must be less than weight.

3.When the forward forces are bigger than the opposing forces, you speed up (accelerate). As you go faster, the force of air resistance pushing back on you increases. Eventually, the forces become balanced (the forward forces are the same size as the opposing forces). Once the forces become balanced, your speed stays the same.

4.Every object on Earth has weight, a product of both gravity and mass. A Boeing 747-8 passenger airliner, for instance, has a maximum takeoff weight of 487.5 tons (442 metric tons), the force with which the weighty plane is drawn toward the Earth.
