After 72000 years, the half life would have passed 3 times.

This means that (1/2)^3 = 1/8 of the original sample would remain.

The original sample is 100.0 g, meaning that 1/8 of the sample would be 12.5 g.

So, the answer is D.

a compound has an empirical formula of CH2 what is the molecular formula if it's molar mass is 252.5 grams/mol
Goryan [66]

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up the compound. the molecular formula is the actual ratio of components making up the compound.

the empirical formula is CH₂. We can find the mass of CH₂ one empirical unit and have to then find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula.

Mass of one empirical unit - CH₂ - 12 g/mol x 1 + 1 g/mol x 2 = 12 = 14 g

Molar mass of the compound is - 252 .5 g/mol

number of empirical units = molar mass / mass of empirical unit

                                           = \frac{252.5 g/mol}{14 g}

                                           = 18 units

Therefore molecular formula is - 18 times the empirical formula

molecular formula  - CH₂ x 18 = C₁₈H₃₆                                            

molecular formula is C₁₈H₃₆

4-x=gallons of current mixture remaining in the car.</span>

<span>
0.15(4-x)+1.00x=0.50 x 4
0.6-.15x+x=2
0.85x=1.4
x=1.4/0.85 =1.65 gal

Thus, 1.65 gallons of current mixture to be drained and replaced with pure antifreeze.</span>

When the dew point temperature and air temperature are equal, the air is said to be saturated. Dew point temperature is NEVER GREATER than the air temperature. Therefore, if the air cools, moisture must be removed from the air and this is accomplished through condensation.
