Answer: There is no list in your question. But the three factors in which natural selection occurs are:

1. A struggle for existence,

2. Variation and

3. Inheritance

Explanation:

Darwin’s theory of natural selection is the way in which organisms change overtime.

These changes allow organisms to become better adapted to their environment and increase their chances for survival.

The three major factors through which natural selection occurs are:

1. A struggle for existence,

2. Variation and

3. Inheritance

Darwin’s theory of natural selection will occur if the three conditions above are met and unless these factors are in place, natural selection will not occur.

Nicotine, a component of tobacco, is composed of C, H, and N. A 7.875-mg sample of nicotine was combusted, producing 21.363 mg o
Gnom [1K]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is C_5H_7N

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen follows:

C_xH_yN_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=21.363mg=21.363\times 10^3g=21363g

Mass of H_2O=6.125g=6.125\times 10^3g=6125g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 21363 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 21363=5826.27g of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 6125 g of water, \frac{2}{18}\times 6125=680.55 of hydrogen will be contained.

Now we have to calculate the mass of nitrogen.

Mass of nitrogen in the compound = (7875) - (5826.27 + 680.55) = 1368.18 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{5826.27g}{12g/mole}=485.52moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{680.55g}{1g/mole}=680.55moles

Moles of Nitrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{1368.18g}{14g/mole}=97.73moles

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0154 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{485.52}{97.73}=4.96\approx 5

For Hydrogen  = \frac{680.55}{97.73}=6.96\approx 7

For Nitrogen = \frac{97.73}{97.73}=1

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N = 5 : 7 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound nicotine is C_5H_7N_1=C_5H_7N

when acceleration is held constant and objects of different mass are observed,are mass and force directly proportional or invers
svetoff [14.1K]
Yes. When two things are directly prortional, that means that as one increases, the other increases at the same rate. So, say you have a 2kg object at an acceleration of 2m/s^2. The force would be 4N. If you have a 3kg object at an acceleration of 2m/s^2, the force would be 6N. If two things are inversely proportional, that means that as one thing increases the other decreases at the same rate. A good example of this is in a chemical reaction. If you increase the surface area of the reactants, the reaction time decreases. They are inversely proportional.
