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

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: (e) The pressure in the container increases but does not double.

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to first remember our gas law, Boyle's law states that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship. That is, If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when temperature is held constant. Therefore, increasing the volume in this case does not double the pressure owning to out gas law, but an increase in pressure would be noticed if temperature is constant

Define law of conservation of mass

horrorfan [7]

The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.The law of conservation of mass is useful for a number of calculations and can be used to solve for unknown masses, such the amount of gas consumed or produced during a reaction. Hope this helps!

How do forensic scientists determine the time of death? There are timely pieces of evidence that help scientists with this task.

UNO [17]

I have done some research as well as asking some friends. This is what I came up with. Not sure if it is 100% correct.

step = time after death

1. Livor Mortis = 20-30 minutes

2. Eyes film (cloud) = 2 hours

3. Rigor Mortis begins = 4-6 hours

4. Empty small intestines = 12 hours

5. Bloating = 3-5 days

6. Decay

The half life of a certain radioactive element is 800 years. How old is an object if only 12.5% of radioactive atoms in it remai

Levart [38]

Given, half life of a certain radioactive element = 800 years.

Amount of substance remaining at time t = 12.5%

Lets consider the initial amount of the radioactive substance = 100%

Using the half life equation:

A = A₀(1/2)^t/t₁/₂

where A₀ is the amount of radioactive substance at time zero and A is the amount of radioactive substance at time t, and t₁/₂ is the half-life of the radioactive substance.

Plugging the given data into the half life equation we have,

12.5 = 100 . (1/2)^t/800

12.5/100 = (1/2)^t/800

0.125 = (0.5)^t/800

(0.5)^3 = (0.5)^t/800

3 = t/800

t = 2400 years

Thus the object is 2400 years old.
