Answer:

Empirical: OH

Molecular: H_{2} O_{2}

Explanation:

First of all, we are going to use the formula: mass = no. moles x Molar Mass And rearrange it to find No. moles: No. moles = mass/Molar Mass

Let's start with Hydrogen:

The given mass is 0.44g, and hydrogen's molar mass is 1.01, therefore the number of moles is: 0.44/1.01 = 0.4356

Now we do the same for Oxygen:

Given mass = 6.92, Molar mass of Oxygen = 16.00, No. Moles = 6.92/16.00 = 0.4325

Now we identify the smaller one (Oxygen as 0.4325 < 0.4356) and we divide both values by that number:

0.4325/0.4325 = 1

0.4356/0.4325 = 1.01

We round both to the nearest 0.2 or 0.25 (depending on what you're taught), and we get: 1 and 1.

This means that the empirical formula has one of each: OH

Now to find the molecular formula we find the relative mass of OH and divide the given mass by that:

M(OH) = 16.00+1.01 = 17.01

34.00/17.01 = 2

We now multiply both by this number to get:

H_{2} O_{2}

Hope this helped!

How can natural selection affect a predator-prey relationship?
wel
Predators and prey are both in a constant struggle for survival, foxes with bigger ears tend to catch more mice, and live longer, because of this, foxes with smaller ears don't live as long, pretty soon all foxes have larger ears. The same goes for prey, Mice with padded feet live longer due to the foxes having more trouble hearing them, pretty soon all mice have padded feet, and the cycle continues.
