The answer to your question is C₁.₄H₁

Explanation:

Data

Percent of H = 5.611%

Percent of C = 100 - 5.611

= 94.389 %

Empirical formula = ?

Process

1.- Express the percents as mass

Hydrogen = 5.611 g

Carbon = 94.389 g

2.- Convert the grams to moles

Hydrogen

1 g 1 mol

5.611 g x

x = (5.611 x 1) / 1

x = 5.611 moles

Carbon

12 g 1 mol

94.389 g x

x = (94.389 x 1) / 12

x = 7.866 moles

3.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

Hydrogen 5.611 / 5.611 = 1

Carbon 7.866 / 5.611 = 1.4

4.- Write the empirical formula

C₁.₄H₁

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.

The answer to your question really depends on three things: how much water you have, how cold it is to start out, and how cold the things around it are. water actually freezes when it gets to 32 degrees fahrenheit (0 degrees celsius), but the time it takes to get there may be different. let's start with the first. if you take two glasses, and fill one with a tiny bit of water, and the other about halfway, then put them both in the freezer, the one with less water will freeze first (you can try this at home, but i recommend using plastic cups and not glass ones). now let's move on to the second part. let's say you have two glasses, and you fill one with really cold water that has been in the refrigerator, and the other with really hot water from the sink. if you put both of them in the freezer, the one that started out colder will freeze first. for the third part, let's imagine that you have two glasses with the same amount of water in them, and the water is at the same temperature. imagine putting one outside on a really really cold day in georgia, and having a friend in alaska put one outside on the same day. since it would be so much colder in alaska, the glass of water there would freeze before yours. so, if you took a tiny bit of really cold water in a glass, and put it outside on a cold day in alaska, it would freeze a lot faster than a big glass of hot water outside on a cold day in georgia.
