The empirical formula of the alcohol is C₄H₄O

To solve the question given above, we'll begin by calculating the percentage of oxygen in the compound. This can be obtained as follow:

Carbon (C) = 70.57 %

Hydrogen (H) = 5.935 %

<h3>Oxygen (O) =? </h3>

O = 100 – (C + H)

O = 100 – (70.57  + 5.935)

O = 100 – 76.505

<h3>O = 23.495%</h3>

Finally, we shall determine the empirical formula of the compound. This can be obtained as follow:

Carbon (C) = 70.57 %

Hydrogen (H) = 5.935 %

Oxygen (O) = 23.495%

<h3>Empirical formula =?</h3>

Divide by their molar mass

C = 70.57 / 12 = 5.881

H = 5.935 /1 = 5.935

O = 23.495 / 16 = 1.468

Divide by the smallest

C = 5.881 / 1.468 = 4

H = 5.935 / 1.468 = 4

O = 1.468 / 1.468 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula of the alcohol is C₄H₄O

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The correct option is;

c. the bone contains calcium salts, which are less reactive than the calcium ions found in the blood.

Explanation:

The most abundant metallic element found in the human body is calcium as it is present in the bones teeth and metabolism of the kidney

99 %  of the calcium in the human body are found in the bones while the remaining 1 % circulates in the blood as ions

The bones of the vertebrate are made up of calcium salts such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate and calcium fluoride.

The red bottle would have the lowest frequency because red light has the longest wavelengths. The light passing through the violet would have the highest frequency because its wavelengths are the shortest.

In the important industrial process for producing ammonia (the Haber Process), the overall reaction is:
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here we have to use stoichiometry.

First of all, we have to calculate the mass of 100% of yield:

1.7 g ------- 98%

X -------- 100%

X = 1.73 g (approximately)

Second, we have to calculate the mass of N2 that is necessary to react to produce the mass of 1.73g of NH3. To do that, we have to use the Molar mass of N2 and NH3 and don't forget the stoichiometric relationship between them.

Molar Mass N2 : 14x2 = 28 g/mol

Molar Mass NH3: 14 + 3 = 17 g/mol

28g (N2) ------- 17x2 (NH3)

X ------------ 1.73 g

X = 1.42 g (approximately)
