The statement that the friend made is not true. most of the mass of the plant is from carbon. the carbon comes from carbon dioxide which is used during photosynthesis. the left over carbon from photosynthesis is used to to help the plant gain mass. there is a process for this which is called cellular respiration
Explanation:
It <em><u>provides an objective, standardized approach to conducting experiments</u></em> and, in doing so, improves their results. By using a standardized approach in their investigations, scientists can feel confident that they will stick to the facts and limit the influence of personal, preconceived notions.
I hope this helps you out!
Answer:
C₅ H₁₂ O
Explanation:
44 g of CO₂ contains 12 g of C
30.2 g of CO₂ will contain 12 x 30.2 / 44 = 8.236 g of C .
18 g of H₂O contains 2 g of hydrogen
14.8 g of H₂0 will contain 1.644 g of H .
total compound = 12.1 out of which 8.236 g is C and 1.644 g is H , rest will be O
gram of O = 2.22
moles of C, O, H in the given compound = 8.236 / 12 , 2.22 / 16 , 1.644 / 1
= .6863 , .13875 , 1.644
ratio of their moles = 4.946 : 1 : 11.84
rounding off to digits
ratio = 5 : 1 : 12
empirical formula = C₅ H₁₂ O
