The correct answer is B. The scientists and all test subjects involved in the investigation work for the company that sells the medication.

Explanation:

In science, a medication, product or similar is only considered as reliable if it has been tested following the scientific method and if there are not interests that can affect the process or the result. This commonly implies, using the medication in a test group and compare the results to a control group that does not use medication, prove there was a positive effect on the test group people from the control group did not have and also being able to replicate the study which means this can be applied with more groups and the results would be consistent. However, that scientist and test subjects work for the company that sells the medication is not a factor that contributes to reliability and indeed is a warning sign because due to their interest in selling the medication they can alter or influence testing to sell the medication and therefore this is not reliable.

A sample of an unknown compound was decomposed and found to be composed of 1.36 mol oxygen, 4.10 mol hydrogen, and 2.05 mol carb

Flura [38]

Answer:

C3H6O2

Explanation:

To find the empirical formula of the compound, we divide the amount in moles of each of the elements by the amount in mole of the element with the smallest number of mole. In this question, the element with the smallest number of moles is oxygen with 1.36 mole. Hence, we divide the number of moles of each element by this.

H = 4.10/1.36 = 3

O = 1.36/1.36 = 1

C = 2.05/1.36 = 1.5

We then multiply through by 2 to yield the compound with the empirical formula C3H6O2

A 5.024 mg sample of an unknown organic molecule containing carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen only was burned and yielded 13.90 mg

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

C8H17N

Explanation:

Mass of the unknown compound = 5.024 mg

Mass of CO2 = 13.90 mg

Mass of H2O = 6.048 mg

Next, we shall determine the mass of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen present in the compound. This is illustrated below:

For carbon, C:

Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 44g/mol

Mass of C = 12/44 x 13.90 = 3.791 mg

For hydrogen, H:

Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H = 2/18 x 6.048 = 0.672 mg

For nitrogen, N:

Mass N = mass of unknown – (mass of C + mass of H)

Mass of N = 5.024 – (3.791 + 0.672)

Mass of N = 0.561 mg

Now, we can obtain the empirical formula for the compound as follow:

C = 3.791 mg

H = 0.672 mg

N = 0.561 mg

Divide each by their molar mass

C = 3.791 / 12 = 0.316

H = 0.672 / 1 = 0.672

N = 0.561 / 14 = 0.040

Divide by the smallest

C = 0.316 / 0.04 = 8

H = 0.672 / 0.04 = 17

N = 0.040 / 0.04 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula for the compound is C8H17N

A 23.2 g sample of an organic compound containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen was burned in excess oxygen and yielded 52.8 g of

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

The answer to your question is C₃H₆O

Explanation:

Data

mass of sample = 23.2 g

mass of carbon dioxide = 52.8 g

mass of water = 21.6 g

empirical formula = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the mass and moles of carbon

44 g of CO₂ --------------- 12 g of C

52.8 g --------------- x

x = (52.8 x 12)/44

x = 633.6/44

x = 14.4 g of C

12 g of C ------------------ 1 mol

14.4 g of C --------------- x

x = (14.4 x 1)/(12)

x = 1.2 moles of C

2.- Calculate the grams and moles of Hydrogen

18 g of H₂O --------------- 2 g of H

21.6 g of H₂O ------------- x

x = (21.6 x 2) / 18

x = 2.4 g of H

1 g of H -------------------- 1 mol of H

2.4 g of H ----------------- x

x = (2.4 x 1)/1

x = 2.4 moles of H

3.- Calculate the grams and moles of Oxygen

Mass of Oxygen = 23.2 - 14.4 - 2.4

= 6.4 g

16 g of O ---------------- 1 mol

6.4 g of O -------------- x

x = (6.4 x 1)/16

x = 0.4 moles of Oxygen

4.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

Carbon = 1.2 / 0.4 = 3

Hydrogen = 2.4/ 0.4 = 6

Oxygen = 0.4 / 0.4 = 1

5.- Write the empirical formula

C₃H₆O
