determing that the compoumd formed is in 100%

therefore, 26.1 +4.3+69.6 = 100%

hence no need of adding O molecule

finding the numbr of moles of each element

no. of moles of C= given mass÷molar mass

=26.1÷12

=2.1 mol

no. of moles of H = given mass÷molar mass

=4.3÷1

=4.3 mol

no of moles of O =given mass÷molar mass

=69.6÷16

=4.3

the simplest whole nber of the element in the unknown compoumd is 1:2:2 of C:H:O

HENCE, the empirical formula is CH2O2

empirical formula mass of CH2O2 IS

=(12)+(2×1)+(16×2)

12+2+32

46 G/MOL

N= molar mass of the compoumd ÷ emporical mass of the compoumd

N= 138÷46

N=3

molecular formula =N×empirical formula

=3 ×CH2O2

C3H6O6 is the molecular formula

(tartonic acid)

hope it helped u!

4. Imagine you have a radioactive sample containing both Virtualium and decayed atoms of Virtualium. After analysis, you find it

Romashka [77]

My sample would be 4000 years old because on my graph, I had about 9 Virtualium left at trial 4 so I am guessing that it would be 4000 years old.

The energy of a pendulum is recorded at different positions in the table below. Use the data in the table to determine the amoun

natta225 [31]

Answer:

36.55 J

Explanation:

PE = Potential energy

KE = Kinetic energy

TE = Total energy

The following data were obtained from the question:

Position >> PE >>>>> KE >>>>>> TE

1 >>>>>>>> 72.26 >> 27.74 >>>> 100

2 >>>>>>>> 63.45 >> x >>>>>>>> 100

3 >>>>>>>> 58.09 >> 41.91 >>>>> 100

The kinetic energy of the pendulum at position 2 can be obtained as follow:

From the table above, at position 2,

Potential energy (PE) = 63.45 J

Kinetic energy (KE) = unknown = x

Total energy (TE) = 100 J

TE = PE + KE

100 = 63.45 + x

Collect like terms

100 – 63.45 = x

x = 36.55 J

Thus, the kinetic energy of the pendulum at position 2 is 36.55 J.

The average rate of disappearance of ozone in the reaction 2o3(g) → 3o2(g) is found to be 7.25×10–3 atm over a certain interval

worty [1.4K]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

1.0875 x 10-2 atm

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

2O3(g) → 3O2(g)

rate = -(1/2)∆[O3]/∆t = +(1/3)∆[O2)/∆t

The average rate of disappearance of ozone ... is found to

be 7.25 × 10–3 atm over a certain interval of time.

This means (ignoring time)

∆[O3]/∆t = -7.25 × 10^–3 atm

(it is disappearing, thus the negative sign)

rate = -(1/2)∆[O3]/∆t

rate = -(1/2)*(-7.25 × 10^–3 atm)

= 3.625 × 10^–3 atm

Now use the other part of the expression:

rate = +(1/3)∆[O2)∆t

3.625 × 10–3 atm = +(1/3)∆[O2)/t

∆[O2)/∆t = (3)*(3.625× 10^–3 atm)

= 1.0875 x 10-2 atm over the same time interval
