Oxalic Acid, a compound found in plants and vegetables such as rhubarb, has a mass percent composition of 26.7% C, 2.24% H, and 71.1% O. Oxalic acid can interfere with respiration and cause kidney or bladder stones. If a large quantity of rhubarb leaves is ingested, the oxalic acid can be toxic. The lethal dose (LD50) in rats for oxalic acid is 375 mg/kg. Rhubarb leaves contain about 0.5% by mass of oxalic acid. (Show your work, using the insert equation tool :) What is the empirical formula of oxalic acid

HCO₂

Explanation:

From the information given:

The mass of the elements are:

Carbon C = 26.7 g;     Hydrogen H = 2.24 g     Oxygen O = 71.1 g

To determine the empirical formula;

First thing is to find the numbers of moles of each atom.

For Carbon:

For Hydrogen:

For Oxygen:

Now; we use the smallest no of moles to divide the respective moles from above.

For carbon:

For Hydrogen:

For Oxygen:

Thus, the empirical formula is HCO₂

the answer is 1260

you spend 7 hours in school for 1 school day with 5 school days in 1 school week with 36 school weeks in a school year.

7*5*36= 1260 it's all about multiplying
