Answer: The molecular formula will be CF_4

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of C= 13.65 g

Mass of F = 86.35 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{13.65g}{12g/mole}=1.138moles

Moles of F=\frac{\text{ given mass of F}}{\text{ molar mass of F}}= \frac{86.35g}{19g/mole}=4.545moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = \frac{1.138}{1.138}=1

For F = \frac{4.545}{1.138}=4

The ratio of C : F= 1: 4

Hence the empirical formula is CF_4

The empirical weight of CF = 1(12)+4(19)= 88g.

The molecular weight = 88.01 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{88.01}{88}=

The molecular formula will be=1\times CF_4=CF_4

Whose model of the atom did J.J. Thomson prove to be incorrect with his Cathode-Ray tube experiments?
Brut [27]
JJ Thomson proved John Dalton's theory wrong, as Thomson discovered the electron. This showed that there were particles that were smaller than an atom, despite Dalton claiming that the atom is the smallest unit of matter.

Which of the following threats to biodiversity is a result of cutting down forests? (4 points)
Maslowich

Answer:

Explanation:

When I was growing up, one of the most popular cartoons was a little possum whose name was Pogo. He often said

“We have met the enemy and he is us.”

It is something Pogo said more than once. We are the problem with biodiversity being threatened.

We clear land for agriculture, not only in Canada and the United States, but in places like Brazil where it matters what is done to the environment. Those trees are the planet's lungs. Whole environmental groups are devoted to stopping the harvesting of trees that are hundreds of years old.

Our oceans have become cesspools of plastic.

Our rivers have become dumping grounds for all kinds of pollutants like paint and car tires to name just a couple.

Our landscape has been cluttered by billboards advertising things that are hundreds of miles away.

There's mining, oil, and other industries that make Mother Nature shudder every time they come near her.
