Answer:

H_5N_5O_6

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for the determination of empirical formulas, it is firstly necessary to assume the given percentages of the constituent atoms as the masses so we can compute their moles in the formula:

n_N=\frac{35gN}{14.01g/mol} =2.5molN\\\\n_H=\frac{5g}{1.01 g/mol}=5molH\\\\n_O=\frac{60g}{16 g/mol}  =3molO

Thus, we need to divide the resulting moles, by the fewest ones (those of nitrogen) in order to determine the coefficients in the formula:

N:\frac{2.5}{2.5}=1\\\\H:\frac{5}{2.5}=2\\\\O:\frac{3}{2.5} =1.2

However, we need to turn all these numbers, whole numbers, so we multiply by 5 to get:

H_5N_5O_6

Best regards!

Define a fluid very sort answer ​
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

A fluid is a medium that has a defined mass and volume, but no fixed shape, at a constant temperature and pressure. This may include gases, liquids, plasmas, and to some extent plastic solids. A fluid can flow and deform, preventing it from carrying loads in a static equilibrium.  A fluid is always compressible and internal frictional forces always occur due to the viscosity of the fluid.
