The empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

Moles of C = 65.5/12.01
= 5.45 mol C
Moles of H = 5.5/1
= 5.5 mol H
Moles of O = 29.0/16
= 1.81 mol H
Moles of C: Moles of H: Moles of O =5.45: 5.5: 1.81 =
3.01: 3.0: 1 ≈ 3:3: 1
The empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

1. We have new knowledge of how charge can be transferred from one object to another
NeX [460]

Charge can be transferred from one object to another in three way conduction, polarization, and friction

Whenever electrons are transferred between objects, neutral matter becomes charged and three ways this can occur are referred to as conduction, polarization, and friction conduction means when there is direct contact between materials that differ in their ability to give up or accept electrons when two different materials are rubbed together, there is a transfer of electrons from one material to the other material and this causes one object to become positively charged (the electron loser) and the other object to become negatively charged (the electron gainer)

Here given object is water + balloon; balloon + wall; tape then you rub a balloon against your clothes and it sticks to the wall, you are adding a surplus of electrons (negative charges) to the surface of the balloon the wall is now more positively charged than the balloon and we tested the conductivity of deionized water positively charged

An ideal gas is in a sealed rigid container. The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules depends most on An ideal gas is in
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The temperature of the gas.

Explanation:

According to the kinetic molecular theory, the molecules of a substance are in constant random motion.

If an ideal gas is contained is a sealed rigid container, the average velocity of the gas molecules is dependent of the temperature of the gas.

Recall that temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a body.
