Answer: The molecular formula will be C_2H_4O_2

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of C = 40.0 g

Mass of O = 53.3 g

Mass of H = 6.66 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{40.0g}{12g/mole}=3.33moles

Moles of O =\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{53.3g}{16g/mole}=3.33moles

Moles of H =\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{6.66g}{1g/mole}=6.66moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = \frac{3.33}{3.33}=1

For O =\frac{3.33}{3.33}=1

For H = \frac{6.66}{3.33}=2

The ratio of C : O : H = 1: 1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is COH_2

The empirical weight of COH_2 = 1(12)+1(16)+2(1)= 30g.

The molecular weight = 60 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{60}{30}=2

The molecular formula will be=2\times CH_2O=C_2H_4O_2

Which type of telescope would perform better on a mountaintop than at a lower elevation?
marishachu [46]

when an optical telescope located on the ground is used to view the sky the image has to surpass through the earth's atmosphere which is polluted. so the resolution wont be clear. When viewed on a mountain top both optical and infrared telescopes would perform better as the air above the atmosphere is less depth and cleaner.

Which statement best describes the organelles in a cell
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

(2) Organelles must work together and their

activities must be coordinated

Explanation:

Organelles are usually located in cells. They are saddled with the role of performing specific functions in the cells for the overall functioning of life. In eukaryotic cells, the organelles are membrane bounded but in prokaryotic or primitive cells such is not the case.

Examples of cell organelles are ribosome, food vacuole, nucleus e.t.c. Just like organs in the body, organelles must work together in order to enhance life.
