We need to first calculate the empirical formula. Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound,
Mass percentages have been given. We need to then calculate for 100 g of the compound 
                               C                     H                           O
mass                    77.87 g              11.76 g                 <span>10.37 g
number of moles  77.87/12            11.76/1                 10.37/16
moles                  = 6.48                  = 11.76                 =0.648
divide by least number of moles 
                              6.48/0.648       11.76/0.648            0.648/0.648
                              = 10                 =18.1                      = 1
rounded off
C - 10 , H - 18 and O - 1
empirical formula - C</span>₁₀H₁₈O
mass of empirical unit = 12 x 10 + 1x 18 + 16 = 120 + 18 + 16 = 154 
number of empirical units = molecular mass / mass of one empirical unit 
                                         = 154.25 / 154 = 1.00 
Therefore molecular formula = C₁₀H₁₈O

Which element would mostly have chemical properties similar to that of magnesium (Mg)?
DanielleElmas [232]

The elements of same group are placed in same group as they have similar properties. So Calcium is the element which resembles Mangesium.

Calcium and Magnesium both are alkaline earth metals.

They have similar properties as they have similar outer or valence shell electronic configuration

The general electronic configuration of alkaline earht metal is ns2

The electronic configuration of Mg [atomic number 12] and Ca [atomic number 20] are

[Ne]3s^{2}  and [Ar]4s^{2} respectively.

PLEASE HELP ME, 20 POINTS

Explanations:

<u>Question</u> <u>1:</u> Lithium in 20.00+ g is C. or D., but 25.00+ g is D. which means this is the correct option.

I am unsure of <u>Question</u> <u>2</u>. I don't think it is mole though.

<u>Question</u> <u>3:</u> Boron in 25.00-30.00 g is B. or D., but 25.00 g would be C.

<u>Question</u> <u>4:</u> 2.393 x 1024 atoms of Oxygen is 63.58 mole O. I don't know for sure, but I think this is correct.

<u><em>I am NOT professional. There is a chance I am incorrect. Please reply to me if I've made a mistake.</em></u>

A given mass of oxygen occupies 500 ml when the
matrenka [14]
Ok we can use boyle’s law (stating that P is proportional to V) to make the equation (P1V1) =(P2V2).
once we’ve done this, we can plug in the numbers:
(800•500) = (200•V2)
and then we get that
V2= 2000 ml

hope this helps!! :)
