An electric kettle uses electrical energy to boil water. Energy from the electricity is transferred to the water, heating it up.

Response:

The accurate choice is;

Sulfur oxides linked to acid precipitation

Details:

Sulfur oxide in the atmosphere interacts with oxygen, water, and other chemicals leading to the creation of acidic precipitation known as acid rain.

Sulfur oxides react with moisture in clouds to generate sulfuric acid as follows;

The sulfur gas undergoes initial oxidation

SO₂ + OH → HOSO₂

The subsequent step involves producing sulfur trioxide

HOSO₂ + O₂ → HO₂ + SO₃

Finally, sulfur trioxide reacts with water to yield sulfuric acid

SO₃ + H₂O → H₂SO₄ (aq).

Answer: The molecular formula will be

Explanation:

When percentages are provided, we assume the total mass to be 100 grams.

Thus, the mass of each element corresponds to the specified percentage.

Mass of C= 70.6 g

Mass of H = 5.9 g

Mass of O = 23.5 g

Step 1: convert given masses to moles.

Moles of C =

Moles of H =

Moles of O =

Step 2: For determining the mole ratio, divide each molar amount by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C =

For H =

For O =

The resulting ratio of C: H: O= 4: 4: 1

Hence, the empirical formula obtained is

The empirical weight is calculated as = 4(12)+4(1)+1(16)= 68g.

The molecular weight = 136 g/mole

Now the molecular formula needs to be obtained.

The molecular formula can be derived as=
