Cembrene a is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon, extracted from coral. combustion of 0.0341 g of cembrene a yields 0.1101 g co2 and 0.0360 g h2o. what is the empirical formula of cembrene a?

let the hydrocarbon is CxHy

the combustion equation will be:

CxHy  + (x + y/4)O2  ---> xCO2(g)  + y/2H2O

So here

12x grams of carbon will give 44x grams of carbondioxide (molar mass of CO2 is 44)

y grams of hydrogen will give 9y grams of water

Or if 44g of carbondioxide is formed the mass of carbon = 12g

if 1 g of CO2 is formed the mass of carbon = 12/ 44

if 0.1101 g of CO2 is formed the mass of carbon = 0.1101 X 12 / 44 =0.03 grams

Moles of Carbon = mass / atomic mass = 0.0025 moles

if 9g of water is present the mass of hydrogen = 1 gram

if 1g of water is formed the mass of hydrogen = 1 / 9

If 0.0360g of water is formed the mass of hydrogen  = 0.0360 / 9= 0.004

Moles of Hydrogen = 0.004 /4 = 0.004

let us divide the moles of each C and H by lowest 0.0025 moles

moles of C = 1

Moles of H = 0.004/ 0.0025 = 1.6

Let us multiply both with 5

Moles of C : Moles of H = 5 : 8

so empirical formula = C5H8

what is the general relationship between a galaxy's distance from earth and its speed?

the answer is:

the farther away a galaxy is from us, the faster it is moving away from us.

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
