Answer:

The empirical formula of compound is C₂H₆O.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of carbon = 12 g

Mass of hydrogen = 3 g

Mass of oxygen = 8 g

Empirical formula of compound = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the gram atom of each elements.

no of gram atom of carbon = 12 g / 12 g/mol = 1 g atoms

no of gram atom of hydrogen = 3 g / 1 g/mol = 3 g atoms

no of gram atom of oxygen = 8 g / 16 g/mol = 0.5 g atoms

Now we will calculate the atomic ratio by dividing the gram atoms with the 0.5 because it is the smallest number among these three.

C:H:O = 1/0.5 : 3/0.5 : 0.5/0.5

C:H:O = 2 : 6 : 1

The empirical formula of compound will be C₂H₆O

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

f = 5.25 x 10³⁸ s⁻¹

Explanation:

Energy = 348KJ = 348,000 J

Frequency = ?

Energy and frequency are related by the equation below;

E = hf

where h = Planck's constant = (6.626 x 10-34 J · s),

Upon making f subject of formular;

f = E / h

substituting the values, we have;

f = 348,000 / 6.626 x 10-34

f = 52,520 x 10 ³⁴ s⁻¹

f = 5.25 x 10³⁸ s⁻¹

HELP! Ethanol has a density of 0.8 g/cm3. a. What is the mass of 225 cm3 of ethanol? b. What is the volume of 75.0 g of ethanol?

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

a) 180 g

b) 93.7 cm³

Explanation:

The density of a substance is the mass of the substance per unit of volume. So, it is calculated as follows:

density= mass/volume

From the data provided in the problem:

density = 0.8 g/cm³

a) Given: volume= 225 cm³

mass= density x volume = 0.8 g/cm³ x 225 cm³ = 180 g

b) Given: mass= 75.0 g

volume = mass/density = 75.0 g/(0.8 g/cm³)= 93.75 cm³≅ 93.7 cm³

DNA can be replicated through an in vivo mechanism or a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) mechanism. Match each description to the

umka2103 [35]

Complete question from other source attached

Answer:

Explanation:

Catalyzed by DNA polymerase - both. DNA polymerase catalyzes DNA replication in the cell. However, purified versions of the enzyme are also used to synthesise DNA as part of PCR reactions

involves leading strand synthesis only - PCR. In PCR, lagging strand synthesis is not carried out because the DNA is denatured (rendered single stranded). Therefore, each strand is replicated independently by leading strand synthesis

duplicates a small fragment of the genome - PCR. Usually, to carry out PCR, small sequences called primers are used that specify the region of DNA to be replicated

duplicates the entire genome - in vivo replication - when the DNA is replicated in vivo, the entire genome is replicated. This is carried out prior to cell division so that two daughter cells can each inherit a copy of the entire genome

The standard curve was made by spectrophotographic analysis of equilibrated iron(III) thiocyanate solutions of known concentrati

posledela

Answer:

Molar concentration of the Fe³⁺ in the unknown solution is 8.01x10⁻⁵M.

Explanation:

When you make a calibration curve in a spectrophotographic analysis you are applying the Lambert-Beer law that states the concentration of a compound is directely proportional to its absorbance:

A = E*l*C

<em>Where A is absorbance, E is molar absorption coefficient, l is optical path length and C is molar concentration</em>

<em />

Using the equation of the line you obtain:

y = 4541.6X + 0.0461

<em>Where Y is absorbance and X is concentration -We will assume concentration is given in molarity-</em>

As absorbance of the unknown is 0.410:

0.410 = 4541.6X + 0.0461

X = 8.01x10⁻⁵M

<h3>Molar concentration of the Fe³⁺ in the unknown solution is 8.01x10⁻⁵M.</h3>
