To determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the compound, we assume a basis of the compound of 100 g. We do as follows:

       Mass              Moles                     
K    52.10     52.10/39.10 = 1.33         1.33/1.32 ≈ 1
C    15.8       15.8/12         = 1.32         1.32/1.32 ≈ 1
O     32.1      32.1 / 16       =  2.01        2.01/1.32 ≈ 1.5

The empirical formula would most likely be KCO.
The molecular formula would be K2C2O3.

Which statement correctly compares the masses of subatomic particles in an atom such as carbon?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

C- A proton has about the same mass as a neutron .

Explanation:

In an atom such as a carbon atom, the masses of the proton and neutrons are the same.

The mass of the electrons is very negligible.

  • Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom
  • Neutrons do not carry any charges
  • Both protons and neutrons have similar masses.
  • They contribute the bulk of the mass of the atom.
  • The electrons carry negative charges and they have negligible masses.

The mass of protons and neutrons are similar.

staci is attending a music festival. the ticket to the festival costs $87.96, Staci pleans to purchase $30.00 t-shirts from the
ziro4ka [17]

The total amount that Staci had in hand is $200.00.

The ticket at that time costs $87.96.

One Tshirt costs, $30.00.

Now that she has paid ticket, she will deduct the ticket from the cash she has in hand, so as to know the amount she is remaining with.

Tha is, $200-$87.96 = $112.04.

∴ In hand Staci has $112.04 extra cash whereby she can purchase more t shirts.

To get the number of tshirt she can buy, she will divide the amount she has in hand by the amount per piece of t shirt.

For example, $112.04 / $30 = $3.73.

∴ Staci can only purchase threet shirts only at a total cost of $90 for all the t shirts which is $30 × 3 = $90.

Staci has excess of 22.04 after deducting ticket and the other amount she has used to purchase the extra t shirts.

That is, $112.04 - $90 = $22.04.
