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

Which list of elements from Group 2 on the Periodic Table is arranged in order of increasing atomic radius?
IgorC [24]
The correct answer is option 1. Be, Mg, and Ca is the correct order arranged in increasing atomic radius. This is predicted based on the periodic table. The atomic sizes increases as one moves downwards in the periodic table.

In what type of radioactive decay does the atomic number of the product decrease by one? Select all that apply.
VladimirAG [237]
The atomic number of the product decrease by one in the d) positron emission and the e) electron capture radioactive decay. These radioactive decays are two of three common forms of the Beta Decay which occurred when the proton released a positron and a neutron emitted an electron<span>. The Beta Decay can increase or decrease the atomic number.</span>

katrin [286]
Reducing solid waste is reducing the amount of garbage that goes into our landfills. These are items we use each day, and then get rid of by putting them into the trash. Solid waste comes from homes, businesses and industries. If you want to reduce solid waste, you need to look at some of the following ways to reduce, reuse and recycle.
