Answer:
Empirical formula= COOH
Step-by-step explanation:
Molecular mass of the elements
Carbon= 12
Oxygen= 16
Hydrogen= 1
We divide the elements each with their molecular formula
Carbon= 2.4/12
Carbon= 0.2
Oxygen= 6.4/16
Oxygen= 0.4
Hydrogen= 0.2/1
Hydrogen= 0.2
Now we divide with the smallest result which is 0.2
Carbon= 0.2/0.2
Carbon = 1
Oxygen= 0.4/0.2
Oxygen= 2
Hydrogen= 0.2/0.2
Hydrogen= 1
So we have
Carbon 1, oxygen 2, hydrogen 1
Empirical formula= COOH
3 divided by 4 subtract 9 divided by 12 equals 0. Hope this helps
Add, divide- turn division equation into a fraction, boom
1. Use the Pythagorean Theorem since this is a right triangle:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
3^2 + b^2 = 4^2
b^2 = 4^2 - 3^2
b = √ 7
b = 3
answer : 3
