Answer:

The molecular formula of the compound is C_{8}H_{16}O_{4}.

Explanation:

Given empirical formula of the compound is C_{2}H_{4}O.

Atomic mass of carbon = 12 u

Atomic mass of hydrogen = 1 u

Atomic mass of oxygen = 16 u

Empirical formula mass of compound = \left ( 12\times 2+4+16 \right ) = 44 \textrm{ g/mol}

Molecular mass of compound = 176 g/mol

n = \displaystyle \frac{176}{44} = 4

Molecular formula = n \times Empirical formula

Molecular formula = 4 \times C_{2}H_{4}O

Molecular formula of the compound is C_{8}H_{16}O_{4}

Calculate the mass of 29.6 L of fluorine gas at STP.
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Mass = 25.08 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of fluorine = 29.6 L

Temperature = standard = 273.15 K

Pressure = standard = 1 atm

Mass of fluorine = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

n = PV/RT

n = 1 atm × 29.6 L / 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K × 273.15 K

n = 1.32 mol

Mass of fluorine:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.32 mol ×19 g/mol

Mass = 25.08 g

How does a multicellular organism develop?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

The cells differentiate.

Explanation:

Organism can be simply classified on the basis of the cellularity of the organism. Two main types of organism are unicellular organisms and the multi cellular organisms.

Multicellular organism contain different types of cells.  The different cells differentiate to perform a particular function. The division of labor property is well shown by the multi cellular organism. The cells of the multi cellular organism must show differentiation process.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).

Which type of chemical bond involves the sharing of valence electrons between two atoms?
mr_godi [17]
Covalent bond is the type of bond which involves the sharing of valence electrons between two atoms. 
This bond usually arises from the equal attraction of the nuclei of the two atoms for the electrons shared.

Ionic bond, on the other hand, arises due to the transfer of electrons from the valence shell of one atom to the valence shell of the other.
