The molar mass of carbon is 12, hydrogen is 1, and nitrogen is 14, hence the ratio are:

 

C = 38.65 / 12 = 3.22

H = 16.25 / 1 = 16.25

N = 45.09 / 14 = 3.22

 

Divide the three by the lowest ratio which is 3.22:

 

C = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1

H = 16.25 / 3.22 = 5

N = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1

 

So the empirical formula is:

CHN

Answer:

1 kg=1000g so 2000 g=2kg and 1 liter of water is equal to 1 kg .as a result 2 kg=2l and if consider 1l as 1000 ml we get 2000 ml

the final answer is 2000 g of water equal to 2000 ml

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Np-237, Ar-40.

Explanation:

Alpha particle is positively charged particle having a mass of 4 unit. Hence,when alpha is  removed from any isotope it produces a element having  mass 4 units less than original isotope that was before emission. Americium 241 isotopes used in the smoke detector which emit an alpha particle to produce neptunium-237.

Potassium-40 emits positron which is having negative charge to lower one proton and increase one neutron number in the particle and in such way it will produce ^{40}Ar_{18} not  ^{40}Ca_{20}

A gas occupies a volume of 202 ml at a pressure of 505 torr. To what pressure must the gas be subject in order to change the vol
UNO [17]

Answer:

1569 torr

Explanation:

Assuming ideal behaviour and constant temperature, we can solve this problem by using <em>Boyle's law</em>, which states:

  • V₁P₁ = V₂P₂

Where in this case:

  • V₁ = 202 mL
  • P₁ = 505 torr
  • V₂ = 65.0 mL
  • P₂ = ?

We <u>input the data given by the problem</u>:

  • 202 mL * 505 torr = 65.0 mL * P₂

And <u>solve for P₂</u>:

  • P₂ = 1569 torr

What are the difference between an animal cell and plant cell
Bingel [31]

Answer:

ANIMAL CELL

Animal cells are generally small in size.

They don't have a cell wall

Except the protozoan Euglena, no animal cell possesses plastids.

Vacuoles in animal cells are many, small and temporary.

Animal cells have a single highly complex and prominent Golgi apparatus.

Animal cells have centrosome and centrioles.

PLANT CELL

Plant cells are larger than animal cells.

The plasma membrane of plant cells is surrounded by a rigid cell wall of cellulose.

They have Plastids

Most mature plant cells have a permanent and large central sap vacuole.

Plant cells have many simpler units of Golgi apparatus, called dictyosomes.

Plant cells lack centrosome and centrioles.

Hope this helps!
