<span>When you have 100 g of compound, then based on the percentages given, there are 40.0 g C, 6.70 g H, and 53.3 g O. Convert those to moles:

</span>C: 40.0 g / 12.0 = 3.33 moles of C 
<span>H: 6.70 g / 1.01 = 6.63 moles of H </span>
<span>O: 53.3 / 16.0 = 3.33 moles of O 
</span>
<span>Dividing by the smallest (3.33), we get a C:H:O mole ratio of 1:2:1
</span>So, <span>The empirical formula is CH2O.
Now, </span><span>That formula has a molar mass of [12.0 + 2(1.0) + 16.0] = 30.0

And we are given it's molar mass is = 240

So, no. of units of CH2O = 240 / 30 = 8

</span><span>8 x CH2O = C8H16O8, and that is the molecular formula.
</span>
C_8H_{16}O_8

SCIENCE, PLEASE HELP.
sesenic [268]

Answer: B

Explanation:

protons are positive,

electrons are negative,

and neutrons are neutral.

the amount of electrons to protons is always the same in a balanced atom.

electrons can be removed creating "ions" which is simply an unbalanced atom. removing protons would result in a different type of atom or element.

Please Help! I just started balancing equations and my teacher gave me this. Thanks in advance! :D

So you need to put numbers before each compound to make sure there are the exact same number of elements on each side. If you put a 4 before NH4 there are 4 Nitrogen and now 16 hydrogen. I just played around with numbers and guessed until I got them even.
