CxHy + (x+0.25)O₂ → xCO₂ + 0.5yH₂O

m(CO₂)/{xM(CO₂)}=m(H₂O)/{0.5yM(H₂O)}

0.2845/{44.01x}=0.1451/{9.01y}

x/y=0.4=2:5

The empirical formula is C₂H₅.

They overcomplicated things with lots of words. Your initial equation deals with the revenue. I’ll denote tacos as x and burritos as y.
The first equation would be 3x + 7.25y = 595, given that you already have the prices but need the quantities. The second equation will reflect that double the burritos were sold compared to tacos, expressed as y = x + 2.
Hope this clarifies things. If you need further explanation, I can elaborate more.

How many molecules are in 13.5g of sulfur dioxide, so2?
alisha [964]
Answer: The number of sulfur dioxide molecules present is 1.27·10²³.
Calculating: m(SO₂) equals 13.5 g.
Using the formula n(SO₂) = m(SO₂) ÷ M(SO₂).
This gives n(SO₂) = 13.5 g ÷ 64 g/mol.
Resulting in n(SO₂) = 0.21 mol.
Subsequently, N(SO₂) = n(SO₂) ·Na.
Therefore, N(SO₂) = 0.21 mol · 6.022·10²³ 1/mol.
Ultimately, N(SO₂) equals 1.27·10²³.
Where n represents amount of substance.
M refers to molar mass.
Na is Avogadro's number.

For which applications would you choose a liquid over a gas or solid?
Alekssandra [968]

Solution:

Washing Clothes & Dissolving Sugar

Clarification:

Consider each scenario:

1) For washing clothes, water is essential; without it, washing is ineffective.

2) Connecting brake pedals to brake pads requires solids, not liquids.

3) To deodorize a space, one would likely reach for an aerosol spray, which is a gas.

4) Sculpting involves solid tools and a solid medium.

5) Dissolving sugar necessitates a liquid to be effective!

6) While one might assert that paint is a liquid, it still might not fit the category; I would categorize this application as solid.

7) Gears employed in machinery are solid components!

KiRa [971]

Answer:

There's a lot to address, so I'm uncertain if I can tackle this; it feels overwhelming. Perhaps you could simplify it for me as it's quite extensive.

Explanation:

  • I wish I had the answers.
  • It's too complex.
  • This chemistry isn't familiar to me.
  • If you have another chemistry-related question, feel free to ask.
  • This is just too difficult.
