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

How far apart must two point charges of 75.0 nC (typical of static electricity) be to have a force of 1.00 N between them? (answ
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

7.12 mm

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

F = kqq'/r².................... Equation 1

Where F = force, k = proportionality constant, q and q' = The two point charges, r = distance between the two charges.

Make r the subject of the equation,

r = √(kqq'/F).......................... Equation 2

Given: q = q' = 75.0 nC = 75×10⁻⁹ C, F = 1.00 N

Constant: k = 9.0×10⁹ Nm²/C².

Substitute into equation 2

r = √[ (75×10⁻⁹ )²9.0×10⁹/1]

r = 75×10⁻⁹.√(9.0×10⁹)

r = (75×10⁻⁹)(9.49×10⁴)

r = 711.75×10⁻⁵

r = 7.12×10⁻³ m

r = 7.12 mm

Hence the distance between the point charge = 7.12 mm

juin [17]


There are many kinds of pyroclastic material ejected during a volcanic eruption. Ash is the most common pyroclastic rock material ejected during an eruption. Volcanic ash is so fine that it can be blown into the atmosphere and picked up by the jet stream where it can circle the Earth for several years.

Arturiano [62]
Some similarities between deserts and rainforests are that they support complex ecosystems, are powered by the sun/photosynthetic plants, are dangerous/mostly uninhabitable for humans, due to both conditions and wildlife, and are found mostly in the tropics
