Answer:

A. C3H3O

Explanation:

We have the following data:

m = mass of organic compound = 1.038g

Then mass of CO2 is 2.48g

Also mass of H2O is 0.510g

To calculate percentage of carbon = 12 x mass of CO2 x 100/44 x mass of organic compound

This gives us 65.1 percent

Formula to calculate percentage of H=

2 x mass of water x 100/18 x mass of organic compound.

= 2 x 0.510 x 100/18x 10038

This gives 5.4%

Percentage of Oxygen =100-(percentageof carbon +percentageof H)

= 100-(65.1+5.4)

= 100-70.5

= 29.5

We have to calculate emperical formula:

For C = 65.1

65.1/12

= 5.4

= 5.4/1.8

=3

For H=5.4

5.4/1

= 5.4

= 5.4/1.8

=3

For O = 29.5

= 29.5/16

= 1.8

= 1.8/1.8

=1

So the emperical formula of organic compound is given as

C3H3O1

= C3H3O

(The atomic weights of C, H, O are 12,1,16)

What is the density of an object that has a volume of 34.2 cm^3 and a mass of 19.6 g? (a) 0.573 g/cm^3 (b) 1.74 g/cm^3 (c) 670 g
KengaRu [80]

Answer: The density of the object will be 0.573g/cm^3

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}

Given : Mass of object = 19.6 grams

Volume of object= 34.2cm^3

Putting in the values we get:

Density=\frac{19.6g}{34.2cm^3}=0.573g/cm^3

Thus density of the object will be 0.573g/cm^3

nevsk [136]

Answer:

A. All of the answer choices are correct.

Explanation:

Giant sequoia trees

<u>They are long - living and the largest living organism on the planet Earth .</u>

They are majorly found in the western slopes of the Sierra Mountains present in the California .

These tress can grow to an average height of 50 to 85 meters , with diameter measuring 6 to 8 meters  .

  • They are also responsible for the generation of carbon dioxide via cellular respiration .
  • It is the net sink of the carbon dioxide .
  • It incorporates the carbon dioxide into the biomass .

How many grams of magnesium oxide can be produced when 125 g Mg react with 102 g O2?
4vir4ik [10]
Balanced Equation: 2Mg + O2 ➡️ 2MgO
125 x 2= 250 102 x 2= 204
250 + 204= 454
So the answer should be 454 grams of magnesium oxide should be produced.
