Answer:

Explanation:

C = 41.4/12 = 3.43

H = 3.47/1 = 3.47

O = 55.1/16 =3.44

CHO is the skeletal formula (divide each by the lowest number above). The results are close enough to 1 to be 1.

(CHO)_x = 116

C + H + O = 29

(29) _ x = 116

x = 116/29

x = 4

So there area 4 carbons 4 hydrogens and 4 oxygens.

The correct formula is C4H4O4

"Similar to the moon, Mercury and Venus have phases<br> when seen from Earth."
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

In our solar system, Mercury and Venus are inferior planets: their orbits are entirely inside the Earth's orbit. When seen from the Earth, inferior planets go through phases, like the Moon's. An inferior planet on the same side of the sun as the Earth appears dark and is not easy to see.

Imporance of mixture in our daily life​
garri49 [273]

Answer:A mixture is a mechanical combination of several elements or compounds. Mixtures are used in cooking, chemical manufacturing, and a lot of other processes. A good mixture with the materials evenly distributed facilitates a good after mixture process. That might be a chemical reaction or a great cake. One mixture that we see the results of a lot is the mixture of water, gravel, and Portland cement that, after a good mix, becomes concrete. Other mixtures might include the various plastics and epoxies that require two or more parts to become a finished product. There are so many possible mixtures out there I’d suggest chemical engineering books , chemistry books in general, cook books, books on construction processes, and many other possible sources of mixtures and the results of using them.
