Answer:

it allows us to determine whether objects will float or sink when placed in a liquid or even a gas.

Explanation:

For example, In an oil spill in the ocean, the oil rises to the top because it is less dense than water, creating an oil slick on the surface of the ocean. A Styrofoam cup is less dense than a ceramic cup, so the Styrofoam cup will float in water and the ceramic cup will sink.

Determine the molecular formula for the unknown if the molecular mass is 60.0 amu and the empirical formula is ch2o.
mezya [45]

Answer:

The molecular formule for this unknow molecule is C2H4O2

Explanation:

The empirical formula is CH2O  ( or better said CnH2nOn)

This means there are 3 elements in the formula of this molecule

⇒ Carbon (C) with a Molar mass of 12 g/mole

⇒ Hydrogen (H) with a Molar mass of 1 g/mole

⇒ Oxygen (O) with a Molar mass of 16 g/mole

We can also notice that the amount of hydrogen should 2x the amount of carbon ( also 2x the amount of oxygen).

The mass of the empirical formule = 12g/ mole + 2* 1 g/mole + 16 g/mole = 30 g/mole

To know what number is n in CnH2nOn we should divide the molecular mass by the empirical mass:

60 g/mole / 30g/mole = 2

this means n = 2

and this will give a molecular formule of C2H4O2  

We can control this to calculate the molecular mass:

2*12 + 4* 1 + 2*16 = 24 + 4 + 32 = 60 g/mole

The molecular formule for this unknow molecule is C2H4O2

Discuss the significance of assigning an atomic mass of exactly 12 amu to the carbon-12 isotope.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Cabon-12 has same average atomic weight and mass number.

Explanation:

carbon-12 has average atomic weight 12 amu and mass number of 12.

amu represents average of mass of a nucleon.

As carbon-12 has same average atomic mass and mass number therefore carbon-12 is a good standard to determine average mass of a nucleon.

Again, abundance of carbon-12 isotope is almost equal to 99%. Therefore fluctuation of average atomic weight from 12 amu is very very low.

So, carbon-12 is taken as a standard to determine mass of a nucleon.

Hence atomic mass of carbon-12 is 12 amu.

What is the highest occupied molecular orbital in the O2 molecule?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

H2 is known to exist. For dihydrogen, H2, we can identify the frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs). The highest occupied molecular orbital (or HOMO) is the σ (sigma) 1s MO. The lowest unoccupied MO (LUMO) is the σ* (sigma star) 1s MO which is antibonding.
