Acompound contains c, h, and o atoms. when 1.130 g of the compound is burned in oxygen, 1.064 g co2 and 0.3631 g h2o are produced. what is the empirical formula of this compound?

Astudent made a graph plotting the progress of a reaction over time. the student forgot to label the y-axis of the graph. a graph is shown with two graph lines. one graph line starts at a higher position on the y axis and slopes downwards towards the right. the other graph line starts at a lower position on the y axis and slopes upwards towards the right. the two graph lines stop short of intersecting each other and continue as separate lines which gradually become straight and parallel to the x axis. a vertical line is shown at a point where the two graph lines finally became parallel to the x axis. this vertical line is labeled equilibrium. the title on the x axis is time and an arrow pointing towards the right is shown above time. the title on the y axis is left blank. what best explains the label that the student should use on the y-axis? amount, because as the amount of product decreases, the amount of reactant increases over time. reaction rate, because forward and backward reaction become equal at equilibrium. amount, because the amounts of reactants and products become constant after equilibrium is reached. reaction rate, as the rate of forward reaction increases and rate of backward reaction decreases over time.

For each of the following compounds, write the formula then predict whether it would be a strong, weak, or non-electrolyte when placed in di water. for the ionic compounds only, put (s) or (aq) after the forrmula formula strong, weak or non electrolyte? a calcium hydroxide b. silver carbonate c. lead(ii) sulfate d. phosphorus trifluoride e. sodium phosphide f barium sulfate g. strontium acetate h. zinc nitrate
