Explanation:

49.31 + 43.79 = 93.10

finding the percentage of hydrogen in the compound hence 100-93.10 =6.9

therefore 6.9 percent of hydrogen is present in the compound

assuming that the compound is in 100 g so the elements present would be 49.31g of C , 43.79g of O and 6.9g of H

no. of moles of C = given mass÷molar mass

= 49.31 ÷ 12

=4.11 mol

no of moles of O = givem mass ÷molar mass

=43.79÷ 16

=2.73 mol

no. of moles of H =6.9÷1

=6.9 mol

dividing the no. of moles of each element by the least count of the elemnt to get the ratio of the simple whole numbr

therefore

so by dividing we get 1:1:2 of C:O:H

the empirical formula is CH2O

empirical formula mass of CH2O IS

= (12)+(2×1)+(16)

= 12+2+16

=30 G/MOL

n= molar mass of the compound ÷ empirical formula mass of the compound

so, n= 146.1 ÷30

n=5

molecular formula = n×empirical formula

molecular formula=C5H10O5 (ribose is the compound)

iogann1982 [59]

When perfume or cologne is sprayed into the air, it turns into a gas and its particles mix with other air particles that quickly move around the room. This is because gas is the least dense of the three states of matter. It moves quickly into any space or volume because it has the least density. This is called diffusion, when molecules or particles move from areas with high concentration to low concentration areas.

A stack of 10 pennies weighing 26.55 grams is placed in a graduated cylinder containing water. The initial volume of water is 50

BigorU [14]

In order to determine the density of an item, we will need to determine its mass and volume. The standard unit for measuring mass in a lab is the gram. Think about liquids- what units do you typically report the volume of a liquid in? What about for a sugar cube, what volume is the most appropriate?
A regular object like a sugar cube can be measured with a ruler so we might report the volume in centimeters cubed (cm3). An irregular object like the plate pictured below can be measured by using a technique called volume by displacement. A liquid (typically water) is placed in a graduated cylinder and the volume of a liquid is measured. Then the irregular object is placed in the liquid and the volume is measured again. The change in volume is the irregular object’s volume. This measurement is often made using a graduated cylinder and recording a volume in Liters or milliliters (mL).

Why must sample spots be above the solvent in paper chromatography

marishachu [46]

Because if they are submerged in the solvent, they would dissolve! This would prevent them from seperating and not allow you to actually record anything
