Answer:

the empirical (lowest raios) is

C2H4Cl    

Explanation:

A compound is known to consist solely of carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine. Through elemental analysis, it was determined that the compound is composed of 24.27% carbon.

What is the empirical formula of this compound?

the compound has ONLY C, H, and Cl

the % Cl  = 100% - 24.27% -4.03% = 71.7%

in 100 gm, there are 71.7 gm Cl, 24.27 gm C, and 4.03 gm H

the number of moles are Cl=71.7/70.91 =1.01= ~ 1

                                          C = 24.27/12.0 = 2.02 =~ 2

                                           H = 403/1.01 = 3.97 =~   4

so   the empirical (lowest raios) is

C2H4Cl

Is a microvilli is a tiny finger like projection that kills bacteria in the lymphatic system? true or false
Alika [10]

Villi are tiny finger like projections present in the inner epithelial lining of the intestine. Each finger like villi is further divided into microvilli, which is the extension of plasma membrane of each epithelial cell of the villi. These villi and microvilli present on the inner surface of the intestine provide a greater surface area and this enhances the digestion and absorption of the nutrients.

Therefore, the correct answer is false as a microvilli is the tiny finger like projection of the inner epithelial cells of the small intestine that has absorptive functions.

Given the molar specific heat cv of a gas at constant volume, you can determine the number of degrees of freedom s that are ener
Ksju [112]
The molar specific heat Cv = R s / 2
70.6 J/mol.K = (8.314 J/mol.K) * s / 2
So the number of degrees of freedom are:
s = 16.98 = 17

WHY ACETIC ACID IS STRONGER IN STRENGHT THAN CHLOROACETIC ACID ...?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
For this question, I think it is the other way around. It is true that chloroacetic acid is stronger in strength than acetic acid. Acid strength is measured as the equilibrium constant of the reaction <span>HA -----> H+ + A- 

</span><span> In acetic acid, the anion produced by dissociation is CH3-COO-; in chloroacetic acid it is CH2Cl-COO-. Comparing the two, in the first one the negative charge is taken up mostly by the two oxygen atoms. In the second there is also an electronegative chlorine atom nearby to draw more charge towards itself. Therefore, the charge is less concentrated in the chloroacetate ion than it is in the acetate ion, and, accordingly, chloroacetic acid is stronger than acetic acid. </span>
