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

1. Name three alkanes and state a use for each.
podryga [215]
Idk about 1, but for 2a: saturated means that all carbons have the maximum amount of hydrogens attached to them, and unsaturated means that they don’t. Only alkanes are saturated because they have all single bonds, so they have the max amt of hydrogens bonded to the carbons. 2b: saturated: butane, octane, methane. Unsaturated: ethene, butene.

1. If 500 ML of a 3 L sample of 0.20 M sodium chloride solution is spilled, what is the concentration of the remaining solution?
photoshop1234 [79]
D. 0.2 M

The concentration of a solution is basically the ratio of the solute present to the solvent in the solution. This is an intrinsic property, independent of the amount of solution that is present. A similar example is that of density. No matter the size of a sample, the density and concentration of that sample remain constant.
