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

The elements in Groups 1A(1) and 7A(17) are all quite reactive. What is a major difference between them?
matrenka [14]

The elements in Groups 1A(1) and 7A(17) are all quite reactive.

<h3>Major difference between Groups 1A(1) and 7A(17) : </h3>

Group 7's halogens, which are non-metal elements, become less reactive as you move down the group. In contrast to the alkali metals in Group 1 of the periodic table, this trend is the opposite. The most reactive element in Group 7 is fluorine.

Alkali metals are soft and reactive metals. They react vigorously with water and become more reactive. And other hand halogens are reactive non metals.

  • Elements of group 1A are known as alkali metals. Elements of this group are lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium.
  • Reactivity increase down group 1 but decrease up group 7 this is because group 7 elements react by gaining an electron. As one move down the group, the amount of electron shielding increases, meaning that the electron is less attracted to the nucleus.

Karla added green pellets to a container of water before she began watering her lawn. What correctly describes
kvv77 [185]

The correct answer is C. The water is the solvent because the green pellets dissolved in it.

Explanation:

In solutions, the are two substances involved, the solvent and the solute. The solvent is usually a liquid substance; additionally, the solvent dissolves another substance, which is known as the solute. For example, if you dissolve a spoon of salt in a glass of water, the solute is the salt which is the substance dissolved and the solvent is the water because the solute is dissolved in it. According to this, in the case presented the water is the solvent because the green pellets which are the solute dissolve in it.
