<span>The molar mass of the Formaldehyde is about 30 gram per mol which means it goes like 90/30 =3. 
So, the molecular formula would be 3 times the empirical formula. C3H6O3.</span>

Answer:

The molecular formula of the compound = C_3H_{6}O_3

Explanation:

Given, The empirical formula is = CH_2O

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Mass from the Empirical formula = 12 + 2×1 + 16 = 30 g/mol

Also, given that:-

89 g/mol < Molar mass > 91 g/mol

So,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

89 g/mol < 30 n > 91 g/mol

⇒ n ≅ 3

<u>The molecular formula of the compound = C_3H_{6}O_3</u>

What is the molality of a solution containing 3. 0 moles of nacl and 100. 0 moles of water?
Mama L [17]

The molality of a solution containing 3. 0 moles of NaCl and 100. 0 moles of water is 30 mol/kg.

The number of moles of solute in a solution equal to 1 kg or 1000 g of solvent is referred to as its molality. Mole per kilogram of solvent is the SI unit for molality.

Given:

3.0 moles of NaCl in 100 moles of water.

To find:

The molality of the solution

The moles of solute (NaCl) = 3.0 moles

The mass of solvent (water) = 100 moles (0.1 kg/mol)

Molality of a solution = Number of Moles of solute/ Mass of solvent(kg)

                                 = 3.0 moles/0.1 kg/mol

                                 = 30 mol/kg

What does the atomic number of an element represent?
harkovskaia [24]
Hello!
Whenever you see an atomic number with an element, you know the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom, which determines the chemical of an element and its place on the periodic table.

For example, Hydrogen has only one proton, however, if you were to add say 78 more protons, you'd get gold!
