Answer:
C₂H₄O₂
Explanation:
Step 1: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element
C: 40.00/12.01 = 3.331
H: 6.67/1.01 = 6.60
O: 53.33/16.00 = 3.333
Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one
C: 3.331/3.331 = 1
H: 6.60/3.331 ≈ 2
O: 3.333/3.331 ≈ 1
The empirical formula is CH₂O, with a molecular weight of 12 g/mol + 2 × 1 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 30 g/mol. The molecular weight of the compound must be a product of 30, such as 60 (between 55 and 62 g/mol). Since we have to multiply by 2 (30 to 60) to get to the molecular weight of the compound, we also have to multiply the empirical formula by 2 to get the chemical formula of the compound.
CH₂O × 2 = C₂H₄O₂
Answer:
2n^2 electrons
Explanation:
for example, the first level contain 2*(1^2) = 2 electrons, the second level contain 2*(2^2) = 8 electrons, etc
Answer: 11.0 g of calcium will react with 10.0 grams of water.
Explanation:
To calculate the moles, we use the equation:
moles of
The balanced chemical equation is:
According to stoichiometry :
2 moles of
require = 1 mole of
Thus 0.55 moles of
require=
of
Mass of
Thus 11.0 g of calcium will react with 10.0 grams of water.
Answer: protons and neutrons.
The nucleus is made up of 3 subatomic particles that are protons,neutrons and electrons.
General notation of an element is 
where, X is the Element, A is the Atomic Mass and Z is the Atomic Number
If we know the number of protons we can easily find out the atomic number of any element because Atomic Number = Number of protons in an element.
And in addition if we know the number of neutrons we can easily find out the atomic mass of an element because
Atomic Mass = (Number of protons) + (Number of neutrons)
If we get to know the atomic number and atomic mass, we can easily tell what element is it by looking from the periodic table.
