A 11.0g sample of a compound containing only oxygen and carbon produce 3.0g carbon and 8.0g oxygen. Determined the empirical formula of the compound?

Empirical formula: CO₂

Explanation:

The empirical formula is defined as the simplest ratio of atoms present in a molecule. We must convert the mass of carbon and oxygen to moles as follows:

Carbon -Molar mass: 12.01g/mol-

3.0g * (1mol / 12.01g) = 0.250 moles C

Oxygen -Molar mass: 16g/mol-

8.0g * (1mol / 16g) = 0.50 moles O

The ratio of O:C is:

0.50mol / 0.250mol = 2

That means the empirical formula is:

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
