Answer:

The molecular formula = C_{6}H_{6}

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of compound, m = 0.145 g

Temperature = 200 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (200 + 273.15) K = 473.15 K

V = 97.2 mL = 0.0972 L

Pressure = 0.74 atm

Considering,  

n=\frac{m}{M}

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=\frac{m}{M}RT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

m is the mass of the gas

M is the molar mass of the gas

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the values in the above equation as:-

0.74\times 0.0972=\frac{0.145}{M}\times 0.0821\times 473.15

M=78.31\ g/mol

The empirical formula is = CH

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 + 1 = 13 g/mol

Molar mass = 78.31 g/mol

So,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

78.31 = n × 13

⇒ n ≅ 6

The molecular formula = C_{6}H_{6}

Which statement is true about compounds? They do not form living things. They do not form nonliving things. They are formed when
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

The true statement is:

They are formed when atoms of different elements combine.

Explanation:

Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine.

Atoms of different elements combine with each other to attain stable electronic configuration.

The atoms can combine with each other in two different ways:

1) By sharing the electrons

2) By exchanging electrons

When they share electrons with each other, they form a covalent bond.

When they exchange electrons, they form an ionic bond.

Which compounds are bases in aqueous solution according to brønsted–lowry theory?.
Fittoniya [83]

Ammonia compounds are bases in aqueous solution according to brønsted–lowry theory.

<h3>What are bases?</h3>

A base is a substance that can neutralize the acid by reacting with hydrogen ions.

Ammonia compounds are based on an aqueous solution according to brønsted–lowry theory because the water molecule donates a hydrogen ion to the ammonia, it is the Brønsted-Lowry acid, while the ammonia molecule which accepts the hydrogen ion is the Brønsted-Lowry base. Thus, ammonia acts as a base in both the Arrhenius sense and the Brønsted-Lowry sense.

Hence, ammonia compounds are based on an aqueous solution according to brønsted–lowry theory.

Two isotopes of hydrogen fuse to form a neutron plus the larger element,A) beryllium.B) carbon.C) deuterium.D) helium.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:  D) helium.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{56}^{143}Ba+_{36}^{90}Kr+3_0^1\textrm{n}

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

Example: _1^2\textrm{H}+_1^3\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+_0^1\textrm{n}+\text{energy}

Thus when deuterium and tritium , the two isotopes of hydrogen are fused, a heavier nuclei helium is being formed from two smaller nuclei releasing a neutron.
