Vitamin C contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. When a 1.00 g was combusted, 1.4991 g of CO2 and 0.4092 g of H2O were obta
Alina [70]

The empirical formula for this vitamin : C₃H₄O₃

<h3>Further explanation   </h3>

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound =mole ratio of the components

The principle of determining empirical formula

  • Determine the mass ratio of the constituent elements of the compound.  
  • Determine the mole ratio by dividing the percentage by the atomic mass

Mass of C in CO₂ :(MW C = 12 g/mol, CO₂=44 g/mol)

\tt \dfrac{12}{44}\times 1.4991=0.409~g

Mass of H in H₂O :(MW H = 1 g/mol, H₂O = 18 g/mol)

\tt \dfrac{2.1}{18}\times 0.4092=0.0455~g

Mass O = Mass sample - (mass C + mass H) :

\tt 1-(0.409+0.0455)=0.5455~g

mol ratio C : H : O =

\tt \dfrac{0.409}{12}\div \dfrac{0.0455}{1}\div \dfrac{0.5455}{16}\\\\0.0341\div 0.0455\div 0.0341\rightarrow 1\div 1.33\div 1=3\div 4\div 3

Which group of extremophiles does thermus aquaticus belong to
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The correct answer is thermophiles.

Explanation:

Thermus aquaticus are heat resistant bacteria because these bacteria can survive under adverse environmental conditions like high temperature.

These bacteria belong to one of the most heat-loving groups of extremophiles that are thermophiles. Thermophiles are present in volcanic soil, geysers and around deep-sea vents where the temperature is extremely high.

Thermus aquaticus bacteria is used to manufacture an enzyme called Taq DNA polymerase, which is heat resistant and also an important factor in molecular biology.
