Answer: Molecular formula for compound a: C_2H_4O_2

Molecular formula for compound b: C_6H_{12}O_6

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

For empirical formula of CH_2O, empirical weight is =1\times 12+2\times 1+1\times 16=30g

To calculate the molecular formula.:

1. For compound a:

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{60.05}{30}=2

The molecular formula will be=2\times CH_2O=C_2H_4O_2

2. For compound b:

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{180.16}{30}=6

The molecular formula will be=6\times CH_2O=C_6H_{12}O_6

I believe that the choices for this question are:

C2H4O2, C4H8O4 <span>
CH2O, C6H12O6 
C3H6O3, C6H12O6 
C2H4O2, C6H12O6 </span>

 

The answer to this based on the molar masses given is:

C2H4O2, C6H12O6 

 

To prove calculate the molar mass:

C2H4O2 = 2*12 + 4*1 + 2*16 = 60

C6H12O6 = 6*12 + 12*1 + 6*16 = 180

Complete combustion of 7.40 g of a hydrocarbon produced 22.4 g of CO2 and 11.5 g of H2O. What is the empirical formula for the h
cluponka [151]
<span>C2H5 First, you need to figure out the relative ratios of moles of carbon and hydrogen. You do this by first looking up the atomic weight of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Then you use those atomic weights to calculate the molar masses of H2O and CO2. Carbon = 12.0107 Hydrogen = 1.00794 Oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass of H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488 Molar mass of CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 Now using the calculated molar masses, determine how many moles of each product was generated. You do this by dividing the given mass by the molar mass. moles H2O = 11.5 g / 18.01488 g/mole = 0.638361 moles moles CO2 = 22.4 g / 44.0087 g/mole = 0.50899 moles The number of moles of carbon is the same as the number of moles of CO2 since there's just 1 carbon atom per CO2 molecule. Since there's 2 hydrogen atoms per molecule of H2O, you need to multiply the number of moles of H2O by 2 to get the number of moles of hydrogen. moles C = 0.50899 moles H = 0.638361 * 2 = 1.276722 We can double check our math by multiplying the calculated number of moles of carbon and hydrogen by their respective atomic weights and see if we get the original mass of the hydrocarbon. total mass = 0.50899 * 12.0107 + 1.276722 * 1.00794 = 7.400185 7.400185 is more than close enough to 7.40 given rounding errors, so the double check worked. Now to find the empirical formula we need to find a ratio of small integers that comes close to the ratio of moles of carbon and hydrogen. 0.50899 / 1.276722 = 0.398669 0.398669 is extremely close to 4/10, so let's reduce that ratio by dividing both top and bottom by 2 giving 2/5. Since the number of moles of carbon was on top, that ratio implies that the empirical formula for this unknown hydrocarbon is C2H5</span>

What prediction can i make about malaria
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

A disease caused by a plasmodium parasite, transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes.

The severity of malaria varies based on the species of plasmodium.

Symptoms are chills, fever, and sweating, usually occurring a few weeks after being bitten.

People traveling to areas where malaria is common typically take protective drugs before, during, and after their trip. Treatment includes antimalarial drugs.
