Answer:

C₂H₂O₃

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a compound is derived bu finding the whole ratios of the constituent elements.

In succinic acid, the ratios of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is calculated as follows:

% mass

Carbon- 40.60

Hydrogen - 5.18

Oxygen - 54.22

RAM

Carbon -12

Oxygen - 15.994

Hydrogen -1.008

No of moles elements in the compound

Carbon = 40.60/12=3.3833

Oxygen = 54.22/15.994= 3.39

Hydrogen= 5.18/1.008 = 5.1389

Mole ratios of the individual elements we divide by the smallest value of the number of moles.

Carbon: Hydrogen : Oxygen

3.3833/3.3833:3.39/3.3833:5.1389/3.3833

=1:1:1.5

We can multiply the value by 2 to get the whole number ratio.

=2:2:3

The empirical formula will be:

C₂H₂O₃

Aleks [24]

Answer:CALINE4 Model and Geographical Information System were used for

the present study to predict the CO concentrations and prepare thematic

maps for the study area.

CALINE4 is a latest model that predicts the concentration of carbon

monoxide impacts near the roadways. The California Department of

Transformation (CALTRANS) developed the model and its purpose is to help

planners protect public health from the adverse effects of carbon monoxide.

The model predictions along with the aid of GIS based model help to arrive at

air shed levels of carbon monoxide. CALINE4 is a simple line source

Gaussian plume dispersion model. The user defines the proposed roadway

geometry, worst-case meteorological parameters, anticipated traffic volumes

and receptor positions to predict the concentrations of pollutant.

CALINE4 is graphical with windows based user interface, designed to

ease data entry and increase the online help capabilities. The model was

developed for predicting the concentrations of relatively inert pollutants such

as carbon monoxide and it is now used for several other pollutants like NO2

and SPM. The model is based on fine tuned Gaussian diffusion equation and

it employs mixing zone concept to characterize the pollutant dispersion over

the roadways. Given the exhaust emission concentrations, meteorology and

site geometry, the model can predict the concentration of pollutants for any experimentation

Answer:

The Art of Protein Synthesis

In eukaryotic cells, transcription takes place in the nucleus. During transcription, DNA is used as a template to make a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). The molecule of mRNA then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs.

Inclined planes reduce the amount of effort needed to move an object, but increases

QveST [7]

Inclined planes reduce the amount of effort needed to move an object, but increases the length of the ramp.

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage is the measure of amount of effort needed to move an object. The mechanical advantage can be calculated as the ratio of length of ramp to the height of ramp for an inclined plane.

As it is known that an object can be easily moved on an inclined plane than on a vertical plane, this is because, the inclined plane provides greater output force. But in that case, the effort required will be reduced with the cost of increasing the distance of the movement of object.

In other terms , the ramp's length of inclined planes has to get increased in order to reduce the amount of effort needed to move an object. This is because as the mechanical advantage has length of the ramp in the numerator, with the increase in numerator value or length value the mechanical advantage will also increase.

What is the mass in grams of 7.23 miles of dinitrogen trioxide?

nevsk [136]

Answer:

549.563868

Explanation:

1 mole is equal to 1 moles N2O3, or 76.0116 grams. so 76.0116 x 7.23 = 549.563868
