Answer:

The empirical formula is the simplest form;

Given:

Oxygen O at 94.1% and

H at 5.9%

Assume 100grams.

94% = 0.941 x 100gm. = 94.1 gm x 1mole/16gm. = 5.88 moles of O

5.9% = 0.059 x 100gm. = 5.9gm. X 1moleH/1.002gm. = 5.88 moles of H

There is one mole of O for each mole of H so the empirical formula is O_1H_1

and written as OH.

Explanation:

given \: that \: oxygen \: by \: 94.1\% (.941)\\ hydrogen \: by5.9\%(.059) \\ in \: 100gram \:  \\ oxygen = 100 g\times .941 = 94.1 \times  \frac{1(mol)}{16g}  \\  = 5.88moles \: of \: oxygen \\ in \: hydrogen \:  = .059\times 100 = 5.9 \times  \frac{1mol}{1.002gram} \\   = 5.88mole \: of \: hydrogen \\  \: so \: here \:  \: both \: oxygen \: andhydrogen = 5.88 \\their \: ratio = 1 \: 1  \\ so \: emparical \: formula = oh \\ thank \: you

When molten candle wax solidifies is that a chemical reaction or not?l
andrey2020 [161]

Yes, when molten candle wax solidifies it is a chemical reaction

<u>Explanation:</u>

Basically Wax is crystalline so once the candle light melts it freezes taking back the solid state to the room temperature.

When the room temperature is below the freezing point, the liquid candle wax, turns into solid state again, therefore this process is called solidification. The process of freezing or solidification is a process when an object turns liquid and freezes back to solid state.

Indeed, Yes, when molten candle wax solidifies it is a chemical reaction
