Answer:
The arm that was not sprayed with anything
Explanation:
The control group would be <u>the arm that was not sprayed with anything</u>.
<em>The control group during an experiment is a group that forms the baseline for comparison in other to determine the effects of a treatment. The control group does not include the variable that is being tested and as such, it provides the benchmark to measure the effects of the tested variable on the other group - the experimental group. In this case, the experimental group would be the arm that was sprayed with the repellent.</em>
Answer:
C₅H₁₀O₅
Explanation:
1. Calculate the mass of each element in 2.78 mg of X.
(a) Mass of C

(b) Mass of H

(c) Mass of O
Mass of O = 3.5 - 1.400 - 0.2349 = 1.87 g
2. Calculate the moles of each element

3. Calculate the molar ratios
Divide all moles by the smallest number of moles.

4. Round the ratios to the nearest integer
C:H:O = 1:2:1
5. Write the empirical formula
The empirical formula is CH₂O.
6. Calculate the molecular formula.
EF Mass = (12.01 + 2.016 + 16.00) u = 30.03 u
The molecular formula is an integral multiple of the empirical formula.
MF = (EF)ₙ

MF = (CH₂O)₅ = C₅H₁₀O₅
The molecular formula of X is C₅H₁₀O₅.
The concentration of the HCl solution is 0.047 M.
Explanation:
Data given about acid and base:
volume of acid Vacid = 46.9 ml
molarity of acid =?
volume of the base (NaOH) = 16.4 ml
molarity of the base = 0.135 M
To know the concentration of the acid in this reaction, the formula used in titration is used. It is
Macid X Vacid = Mbase X Vbase
the formula is rewritten as:
Macid = 
putting the values in the equation:
Macid = 
= 0.047 M
the concentration of the acid i.e HCl in the solution is of 0.047 M.
