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.

Molecule contains carbon, hydrogen and sulfur atoms. When a sample of 0.535g of this compound is burnt in oxygen, 1.119 g of CO2
OLga [1]

Answer:

The empirical formula is, C4H4S

Explanation:

Number of moles of carbon = 1.119 g/ 44g/mol = 0.025 moles

Mass of Carbon= 0.025 moles × 12 g/ mole = 0.3 g

Number of moles of hydrogen = 0.229/18g/mol × 2 = 0.025 moles

Mass of hydrogen = 0.025 moles × 1 = 0.025 g

Number of moles of sulphur = 0.407g/ 64 g/mol = 0.0064 moles

Mass of sulphur= 0.0064 moles ×32 = 0.2 g

Now we obtain the mole ratios by dividing through by the lowest ratio.

C- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, H- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, S- 0.0064 moles/0.0064 moles

C4H4S

An average, how many eggs does a female release each<br> cycle?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

At birth, there are approximately 1 million eggs; and by the time of puberty, only about 300,000 remain. Of these, only 300 to 400 will be ovulated during a woman's reproductive lifetime. Fertility can drop as a woman ages due to decreasing number and quality of the remaining eggs.

Question 2: Heat (5 points)
Ronch [10]

Answer:

(i) specific heat

(ii) latent heat of vaporization

(iii) latent heat of fusion

Explanation:

i. Q = mcΔT; identify c.

Here, Q is heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat and ΔT is the change in temperature.

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of substance of mass 1 kg by 1 degree C is known as the specific heat.  

ii. Q = mLvapor; identify Lvapor

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of vaporization.

The amount of heat required to convert the 1 kg liquid into 1 kg vapor at constant temperature.  

iii. Q = mLfusion; identify Lfusion

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of fusion.  

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of vaporization.

The amount of heat required to convert the 1 kg solid  into 1 kg liquid at constant temperature.
