Answer:

The empirical formula is CH2O, and the molecular formula is some multiple of this

Explanation:

In 100 g of the unknown, there are 40.0⋅g12.011⋅g⋅mol−1 C;  6.7⋅g1.00794⋅g⋅mol−1 H; and  53.5⋅g16.00⋅g⋅mol−1 O.

We divide thru to get, C:H:O = 3.33:6.65:3.34. When we divide each elemental ratio by the LOWEST number, we get an empirical formula of CH2O, i.e. near enough to WHOLE numbers. Now the molecular formula is always a multiple of the empirical formula; i.e. (EF)n=MF.So 60.0⋅g⋅mol−1=n×(12.011+2×1.00794+16.00)g⋅mol−1.Clearly n=2, and the molecular formula is 2×(CH2O) = CxHyOz.

Fluorine + sodium chloride → sodium fluoride + __________. What is the missing chemical name?
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Chlorine (Cl)

Explanation:

The equation would be:

F+NaCl  → NaF + Cl

This is because no atom is lost in a reaction. Chlorine would be the missing chemical as it is on the other side of the equation and needs to be accounted for on the products side.
