Answer:

What is the empirical formula of the compound?

Explanation:

When the relative masses of elements in a hydrocarbon are given, it is possible to use this information to obtain the empirical formula by dividing the given masses of each element by the relative atomic masses of the element. The lowest ratio is now used to divide through to obtain the empirical formula of the compound.

The empirical formula only shows that ratio of atoms of each element present in the compound. From the information provided, the empirical formula of the compound is CH2. Hence the answer.

The ionization constant (Ka) of HF is 6.7 X 10 ^-4. Which of the following is true in a 0.1 M solution of this acid?
spin [16.1K]
The ionization equation is:

HF ⇄ H(+) + F(-)

The ionization constant is Ka = [H(+)] * [H(-)] / [HF]

=> [H(+)] * [F(-)] = Ka * [HF]

Given that Ka < 1

[H(+)] * [F(-)] < [HF]

Which is [HF] >  [H(+)] * [F(-)] the option a. fo the list of choices.

What subatomic particles participate in chemical bonding
Advocard [28]
The subatomic particle involved in chemical bonding is the electron. Electrons are the smallest of all subatomic particles and orbit the nucleus in discrete energy levels called shells. Electrons are negatively charged and the nucleus is positively charged due to the protons.
