We already know the molar mass of C is 12.01g/mol, of H is 1.008 g/mol, and of O is 16g/mol.

If the molecular formula were also the empirical formula (which is CH2O), then it would have a molar mass of:
12.01g/mol +2*(1.008g/mol)+ 16g/mol= 30.03g/mol

However, the actual molar mass of the molecular formula is 60.g/mol, which is about twice as large as 30.03g/mol. Therefore, we have to multiply the empirical formula by 2.

The molecular formula of this compound is (2) C2H4O2.

Hope this would help~

Why is water essential to living things? (1 pc
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Living organisms need water to survive. Many scientists even believe that if any extra-terrestrial exists, water must be present in their environments. All oxygen-dependent organisms need water to aid in the respiration process. Some organisms, such as fish, can only breathe in water. Other organisms require water to break down food molecules or generate energy during the respiration process. Water also helps many organisms regulate metabolism and dissolves compounds going into or out of the body.

How does a system at equilibrium respond to the addition of more reactant
grin007 [14]

Answer:

It favors the forward reaction.

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's Principle, when a system at equilibrium suffers a perturbation, the system will react in order to counteract the effect of such perturbation.

If more reactant is added, the system will try to decrease its concentration. It will do so by favoring the forward reaction, decreasing the concentration of the reactant  and increasing the concentration of the products, in order to re-establish the equilibrium.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

Engineering is all about solving problems using math, science, and technical knowledge. And engineers have solved a lot of problems in the world by designing and building various technologies. We have everything from machines that can breathe for you in hospitals to suspension bridges to computers we use every day. All of these things were once designed by engineers using the engineering design process.
