Answer:

Empirical formula is CH

Explanation:

A hydrocarbon, CₐHₓ reacts with oxygen in the combustion reaction as follows:

CₐHₓ + O₂ → a CO₂ + x/2 H₂O

That means we can find the moles of C and H from the moles of CO2 and H2O. As empirical formula is defined as the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a molecule, we can determine it as follows:

<em>Moles CO2 = Moles C -Molar mass: 44.01g/mol:</em>

0.4225g * (1mol / 44.01g) = 0.0096 moles C

<em>Moles H2O -Molar mass: 18.01g/mol:</em>

0.0865g H2O * (1mol / 18.01g) = 0.0048moles H2O * (2mol H / 1mol H2O) =

0.0096 moles H

The ratio of atoms of C:H is:

0.0096moles C / 0.0096moles H = 1

That means empirical formula is CH

1. The forks shown are made of silver (Ag). Some of the silver forks
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Corrosion

Explanation:

Silver, although known as a nobble metal, is also subject to corrosion process such as having silver tarnish when exposed to sulfur and air.

Tarnishing occurs on the surfaces of some metals such as brass, copper, and silver, which results in a corroded layer. Silver tarnish occurs from the chemical reaction that takes place when silver is exposed to sulfur which results in the formation of black Ag₂S

In order to restore the original silver surface, the silver tarnish (silver sulfide) layer is removed.

We have the statement presented here as follows;

The forks shown are made of silver (Ag). Some of the silver forks shown have lost their luster - they have become tarnished. This is an example of <u>Corrosion.</u>

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Option A. the hydroxyl group (-OH)

Explanation:

Ethanol, CH₃CH₂OH belongs to the class of organic compound called alkanol.

They have general formula as R–OH

Where

R => is an alkyl group

OH => is the hydroxyl group

The hydroxyl group (OH) is the functional group of the alkanol (alcohol)

15g of sugar and 10g of water are measured separately. The sugar is dissolved in the water. What will
quester [9]

Answer: a) No, both are different.

b) Ramesh- 9.9%

  Sarika - 10%

Explanation:

According to the solution prepared by Ramesh,

Mass of sugar he took (Solute) = 10 g

Mass of water he took (Solvent) = 100 g

Thus Mass % of the solution =

     

According to the solution prepared by Sarika,

Mass of sugar she took (Solute) = 10 g

Mass of Solution she took  = 100 g

Thus Mass % of the solution =
