The lysis reaction with the formation of two different gases, and the synthesis reaction with the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen support that water is a compound and not an element.

<h3>What is electrolysis?</h3>

The electrolysis is the analytical process for the separation or the deposition of the element in the presence of the electric field.

The passing of electric current through water results in the release of two types of gases. Thus, it can be said that water lysis or breakdown forms the release of two elements hydrogen and oxygen supporting the fact that water is a compound and not an element.

The production of water is found to be formed with the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen. Thus it supports that water is a compound and, not an element.

URGENT !! A substance has 55.80% carbon, 7.04% Hydrogen, and 37.16% Oxygen. What is it's empirical and molecular formula if it h
Ede4ka [16]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Empirical formula = C₂H₃O

Molecular formula = C₁₄H₂₁O₇

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Empirical formula

Moles of;

Carbon = 55.8 /12 = 4.65 moles

Hydrogen = 7.04/ 1 = 7.04 moles

Oxygen  = 37.16/ 16 = 2.3225 moles

We then get the mole ratio;

4.65/2.3225 = 2.0

7.04/2.3225 = 3.0

2.3225/2.3225 = 1.0

Therefore;

The empirical formula = <u>C₂H₃O</u>

Molecular formula;

(C2H3O)n = 301.35 g

(12 ×2 + 3× 1 + 16×1)n = 301.35

43n = 301.35

  n = 7

Therefore;

Molecular formula = (C2H3O)7

                             <u> = C₁₄H₂₁O₇</u>

How many moles of pentane are in 1.48x1021
vodka [1.7K]

multiply the number of each atom with its molecular mass. (see the periodic table)

5*12 + 12*1 = 72 gram per mole.

Or more accurately: 5*12.01078 + 12*1.007947 = 72.149264 g/mole
