Answer:
K₂CO₃
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Number of moles of K = 0.104mol
Number of moles of C = 0.052mol
Number of moles of O = 0.156mol
Method
From the given parameters, to calculate the empirical formula of the elements K, C and O, we reduce the given moles to the simplest fraction.
Empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound and it differs from the molecular formula which is the actual formula of a compound.
- Divide the given moles through by the smallest which is C, 0.052mol.
- Then approximate values obtained to the nearest whole number of multiply by a factor to give a whole number ratio.
- This is the empirical formula
Solution
Elements K C O
Number of moles 0.104 0.052 0.156
Dividing by the
smallest 0.104/0.052 0.052/0.052 0.156/0.052
2 1 3
The empirical formula is K₂CO₃
The correct answer among the choices is option C. The ion that is part of all nucleic acids is phosphoric acid. Nucleic acids are large biomolecules that is important for all life forms. DNA and RNA are nucleic acids. These biomolecules are made from monomers called nucleotides. Each monomer is composed of 5 carbon sugar, a nitrogeneous base and a phosphate group.
Answer:
Atomic number
Explanation:
Atomic number is the number of protons, and therefore also the total positive charge, in the atomic nucleus. The Rutherford–Bohr model of the hydrogen atom (Z = 1) or a hydrogen-like ion (Z > 1).
