The molecular formula for each of the following compound given the data is

C₂H₆
C₂H₂
C₄H₈Cl₂

<h3>A. How to determine the molecular formula </h3>

We'll begin by calculating the empirical formula. This can be obtained as follow:

C = 80%
H = 20%
Empirical formula =?

Divide by their molar mass

C = 80 / 12 = 6.67

H = 20 / 1 = 20

Divide by the smallest

C = 6.67 / 6.67 = 1

H = 20 / 6.67 = 3

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound CH₃

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound can be obtained as follow

Empirical formula = CH₃
Molar mass of compound = 30 g/mol
Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula = empirical × n = mass number

[CH₃]n = 30

[12 + (3×1)]n = 30

15n = 30

Divide both side by 15

n = 30 / 15

n = 2

Molecular formula = [CH₃]n

Molecular formula = [CH₃]₂

Molecular formula = C₂H₆

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound is C₂H₆

<h3>B. How to determine the molecular formula </h3>

We'll begin by calculating the empirical formula. This can be obtained as follow:

C = 92.3%
H = 7.7%
Empirical formula =?

Divide by their molar mass

C = 92.3 / 12 = 7.7

H = 7.7 / 1 = 7.7

Divide by the smallest

C = 7.7 / 7.7 = 1

H = 7.7 / 7.7 = 1

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound CH

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound can be obtained as follow

Empirical formula = CH
Molar mass of compound = 26 g/mol
Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula = empirical × n = mass number

[CH]n = 26

[12 + 1]n = 26

13n = 26

Divide both side by 13

n = 26 / 13

n = 2

Molecular formula = [CH]n

Molecular formula = [CH]₂

Molecular formula = C₂H₂

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound is C₂H₂

<h3>C. How to determine the molecular formula </h3>

We'll begin by calculating the empirical formula. This can be obtained as follow:

C = 37.5%
H = 6.3%
Cl = 55.8%
Empirical formula =?

Divide by their molar mass

C = 37.5 / 12 = 3.125

H = 6.3 / 1 = 6.3

Cl = 55.8 / 35.5 = 1.572

Divide by the smallest

C = 3.125 / 1.572 = 2

H = 6.3 / 1.572 = 4

Cl = 1.572 / 1.572 = 1

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound C₂H₄Cl

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound can be obtained as follow

Empirical formula = C₂H₄Cl
Molar mass of compound = 127 g/mol
Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula = empirical × n = mass number

[C₂H₄Cl]n = 127

[(2×12) + (4×1) + 35.5]n = 127

63.5n = 127

Divide both side by 63.5

n = 127 / 63.5

n = 2

Molecular formula = [C₂H₄Cl]n

Molecular formula = [C₂H₄Cl]₂

Molecular formula = C₄H₈Cl₂

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound is C₄H₈Cl₂

Put the steps in the process of photosynthesis in order

shepuryov [24]

Step 1-Light Dependent

CO2 and H2O enter the leaf

Step 2- Light Dependent

Light hits the pigment in the membrane of a thylakoid, splitting the H2O into O2

Step 3- Light Dependent

The electrons move down to enzymes

Step 4-Light Dependent

Sunlight hits the second pigment molecule allowing the enzymes to convert ADP to ATP and NADP+ gets converted to NADPH

Step 5-Light independent

The ATP and NADPH is used by the calvin cycle as a power source for converting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into simple sugar glucose.

Step 6-Light independent

The calvin cycle converts 3CO2 molecules from the atmosphere to glucose

calvin cycle

The second of two major stages in photosynthesis (following the light reactions), involving atmospheric CO2 fixation and reduction of the fixed carbon into carbohydrate.

For the reaction, Cl2 + 2KBr --> 2KCl + Br2, how many moles of potassium chloride, KCl, are produced from 102g of potassium b

Sedaia [141]

Solution :

From the balanced chemical equation, we can say that 1 moles of KBr will produce 1 moles of KCl .

Moles of KBr in 102 g of potassium bromide.

n = 102/119.002

n = 0.86 mole.

So, number of miles of KCl produced are also 0.86 mole.

Mass of KCl produced :

$m = 0.86 \times Molar \ mass \ of \ KCl\\\\m = 0.86 \times 74.5 \ gram \\\\m = 64.07\ gram$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A cell in the leaf of a corn plant contains more chloroplasts than a cell in the stem of a corn plant. Based on this observation

Alik [6]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A). synthesizes more sugar

B). has a higher chromosome count

C). produces fewer proteins

D). uses less carbon dioxide

The answer is A

Explanation:

The chloroplast is an organelle present in the cells of photosynthetic organisms. It is the site where photosynthesis, which is the production of food (sugars) from sunlight energy, occurs.

According to this question, a cell in the leaf of a corn plant contains more chloroplasts than a cell in the stem of the same corn plant. Based on this observation, it can be inferred that the LEAF CELLS WILL SYNTHESIZE MORE SUGARS THAN THE STEM CELL because the more the chloroplast, the higher the photosynthetic rate and subsequently the higher the amount of sugar produced.

What is an Atomic structure ?

Margaret [11]

Answer: The structure of an atom, theoretically consisting of a positively charged nucleus surrounded and neutralized by negatively charged electrons revolving in orbits at varying distances from the nucleus, the constitution of the nucleus and the arrangement of the electrons differing with various chemical elements.

When sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid are combined in a beaker and allowed to

777dan777 [17]

Answer: C excess reactant

Reason: It is not catalyst because catalyst are not consumed. It is not product because it was one of the reactants. It is not limiting because there was excess left over.
