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 specific activity (in Ci/g) if 1.65 mg of an isotope emits 1.56X10⁶α a particles per second?
marta [7]

The specific activity (in Ci/g) if 1.65 mg of an isotope emits 1.56X10⁶α a particles per second.

<h3>What is isotope?</h3>

Isotopes are two or more types of atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons in their nuclei) and periodic table position (and so belong to the same chemical element), but distinct nucleon numbers due to differing numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. While all isotopes of a given element have nearly identical chemical properties, their atomic weights and physical properties differ.

The term isotope is derived from the Greek roots isos and topos, which means that different isotopes of the same element occupy the same position on the periodic table. Margaret Todd, a Scottish doctor and writer, coined the phrase in 1913 as a recommendation to British chemist Frederick Soddy.

. Using the following equation: F = ma Solve for m (1 point)
Oksanka [162]
<span>To solve for m in the equation F = ma, you must divide both side of the equation by a. This will make the equation look like F/a = ma/a. Since m is being multiplied by a, dividing it will cancel out. Now making the final equation look like F/a=m and/or m=F/a.</span>
