Answer:

Explanation:

100 minutes is 5 half lives ( 100 min/20 min/half life)

= (1/2 )^5

1 x 10^20 * (1/2)^5 = 3.125 x10^18 molecules

What is the SI base unit for length?

sp2606 [1]

The SI base unit for length is meter.

In order to make smaller measurements, you can use the centi-, milli-, micro-, etc. prefixes.

When you want to reference larger measurements, you can use the kilo-, mega-, giga- and prefixes such as those.

The empirical formula of a compound is CH2O and its molecular weight is 90.09 g/mol. Determine the molecular formula.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer : The molecular formula of the compound will be, $C_{3}H_{6}O_3$

Explanation :

Empirical formula : It is the simplest form of the chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Molecular formula : it is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

As we are given that the empirical formula of a compound is $CH_2O$ and the molar mass of compound is, 90.09 gram/mol.

The empirical mass of $CH_2O$ = 1(12) + 2(1) + 1(16) = 30 g/eq

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

$n=\frac{90.09}{30}=3$

Molecular formula = $(CH_2O)_n=(CH_2O)_3=C_{3}H_{6}O_3$

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound will be, $C_{3}H_{6}O_3$
