a. by losing electrons

b. by gaining electrons from each other

c. by sharing electrons with each other

d. by losing neutrons to each other

plz me and do not guess

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?

Ethanol (c2h5oh) is produced from the fermentation of sucrose in the presence of enzymes. c12h22o11(aq) + h2o(g) 4 c2h5oh(l) + 4 co2(g) determine the theoretical yield and the percent yields of ethanol if 680. g sucrose undergoes fermentation and 326.5 g ethanol is obtained. theoretical _ g _ percent %

Suppose that some of the compound spilled out of the crucible after it was heated. would that cause the percent by mass of water in the compound determined by the experiment to be too low, too high, or unchanged? briefly explain your answer.
