determing that the compoumd formed is in 100%

therefore, 26.1 +4.3+69.6 = 100%

hence no need of adding O molecule

finding the numbr of moles of each element

no. of moles of C= given mass÷molar mass

=26.1÷12

=2.1 mol

no. of moles of H = given mass÷molar mass

=4.3÷1

=4.3 mol

no of moles of O =given mass÷molar mass

=69.6÷16

=4.3

the simplest whole nber of the element in the unknown compoumd is 1:2:2 of C:H:O

HENCE, the empirical formula is CH2O2

empirical formula mass of CH2O2 IS

=(12)+(2×1)+(16×2)

12+2+32

46 G/MOL

N= molar mass of the compoumd ÷ emporical mass of the compoumd

N= 138÷46

N=3

molecular formula =N×empirical formula

=3 ×CH2O2

C3H6O6 is the molecular formula

(tartonic acid)

hope it helped u!

Answer:

A bonding that occurs between high electronegative atoms such are N, F, O and H atoms, is called a hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bond is a very strong bond. (C)

If hydrogen bonds are not formed between H atoms and N, F, O atom, then the atoms interact through dispersion forces (also known as london dispersion forces). Dispersion forces are weak and they are temporary forces formed by overlapping of orbitals. (B)

What energy transformations occur in a hot air balloon?

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

: kinetic energy is the energy transformation that occurs in a hot balloon.

Explanation:

Hot air balloons use a propane burner that converts chemical energy to thermal energy. The hot air is less dense than than the colder air and it lifts the balloon

gogolik [260]

The concentration after dilution is 1.4%.

We are aware that concentration and volume are related to each other by the formula -

$C_{1}$ $V_{1}$ = $C_{2}$ $V_{2}$ , where we have initial concentration and volume on Left Hand Side and final concentration and volume on Right Hand Side.

Keep the values to calculate final concentration.

$C_{2}$ = (53.5 × 5.4)/205.0

Performing multiplication on Right and Side

$C_{2}$ = 288.9/205.0

Performing division on Right Hand Side

$C_{2}$ = 1.4%

Hence, the final concentration is 1.4%.

Identify the term that applies to each definition.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

A. Reference blank

B. Cuvettes

C. Transmittance

D. Absorbance

E. Wavelength

Explanation:

A reference blank is a sample prepared using the solvent and any other chemicals in the sample solutions, but not the absorbing substance.

A square-shaped container, typically made of quartz, designed to hold samples in a spectrophotometer is known as Cuvettes.

A measurement of the amount of light that passes through a sample or percentage of light transmitted by the sample, with the respective intensities of the incident and transmitted beams is called Transmittance.

The measurement of the amount of light taken in by a sample is known as Absorbance

The wavelength is also the distance travelled by the wave during a period of oscillation. In spectrophotometry, the unit is inversely proportional to energy and commonly measured in nanometers
