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

Leona [35]

Answer:

See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

In the bunsen burner, the gas and air inlet can be regulated manually. In the case of metals (such as lithium and sodium in this case) they contain an electron in the latter in its external electronic configuration. They are characterized by transferring electrons easily and produce the emission of light when excited, producing flames of different colors in the lighter (orange for sodium and red / scarlet for lithium)

A 5.00-g sample of copper metal at 25.0 °C is heated by the addition of 133 J of energy. The final temperature of the copper is
vekshin1

<u>Answer:</u> The final temperature of the copper is 95°C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the final temperature for the given amount of heat absorbed, we use the equation:

Q= m\times c\times \Delta T

Q = heat absorbed  = +133 J (heat is added to the system)

m = mass of copper = 5.00 g

c = specific heat capacity of copper = 0.38 J/g ° C      

\Delta T={\text{Change in temperature}}=T_2-T_1

T_1=25^oC

Putting values in above equation, we get:

+133J=5.00g\times 0.38J/g^oC\times (T_2-25)\\\\T_2=95^oC

Hence, the final temperature of the copper is 95°C.

Why edible oils shows rancidity when stored for a long time
iren2701 [21]

When edible oils are idle and stored for a long amount of time, they undergo oxidation due to the exposure to oxygen. This oxidation causes rancidity in oils.
