It has to be iron because oxygen doesn’t run out unless being used by something like sticking it in a bubble.
Moles = mass / molar mass
<span>moles P = 0.422 g / 30.97 g/mol = 0.01363 mol </span>
<span>moles O = (0.967 g - 0.422g) / 16.00 g/mol = 0.03406 moles </span>
<span>So ratio moles P : moles O </span>
<span>= 0.01363 mol : 0.03406 mol </span>
<span>Divide each number in the ratio by the smallest number </span>
<span>(0.01363 / 0.01363) : (0.03406 / 0.01363) </span>
<span>= 1 : 2.5 </span>
<span>The empirical formula needs to be the smallest whole number ratio of atoms in the molecules. Since you have a non-whole number, multiply the ratio by the smallest number needed to make both number whole numbers. In this case x 2 </span>
<span>2 x (1 : 2.5) </span>
<span>= 2 : 5 </span>
Because if you change two things then you do not know which one has affected or altered the dependent variable. if you only change one then you know what exactly changed and why
Answer:
2,3–dimethylpentane
Explanation:
To know which option is correct, we shall determine the name of the compound.
To obtain the name of the compound, do the following:
1. Determine the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.
2. Identify the substituent group attached to the compound.
3. Locate the position of the substituent group by giving it the lowest possible count.
4. Combine the above to obtain the name of the compound.
Now, we shall determine the name of the compound as follow:
1. The longest continuous carbon chain is 5. Thus, the parent name of the compound is pentane.
2. The substituent group attached is methyl (–CH₃)
3. There are two methyl group attached to the compound. One is located at carbon 2 and the other at carbon 3.
4. Therefore, the name of the compound is:
2,3–dimethylpentane
None of the options are correct.
