What is the empirical formula of a carbon-oxygen compound, given that a 95.2 g sample of the compound contains 40.8 g of carbon

and the rest oxygen?
Chemistry

Answer:

95.2 - 40.8 = 54.4 g of oxygen

number of moles = mass (g)/ Mr

no. of moles of carbon = 40.8/12 = 3.4

no. of moles of oxygen = 3.4

divide both by smallest value which is 3.4 and you’ll get 1 mole of carbon and 1 mole of oxygen therefore the empirical formula is CO

Explanation:

hope this helps :)

Can someone help me find the theoretical value of methane? It is chemistry
antiseptic1488 [7]

Methane is lighter than air, having a specific gravity of 0.554. It is only slightly soluble in water. It burns readily in air, forming carbon dioxide and water vapour; the flame is pale, slightly luminous, and very hot. The boiling point of methane is −162 °C (−259.6 °F) and the melting point is −182.5 °C (−296.5 °F). Methane in general is very stable, but mixtures of methane and air, with the methane content between 5 and 14 percent by volume, are explosive. Explosions of such mixtures have been frequent in coal mines and collieries and have been the cause of many mine disasters.

How does solar energy affect temperature and formation of wind in the atmosphere?
liraira [26]

When the Earth's surface absorbs the sun's energy, it turns the light into heat. This heat on Earth's surface warms the air above it. The air over the Equator gets warmer than the surface air near the poles. This moving air is what we call wind.
