Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up the compound. the molecular formula is the actual ratio of components making up the compound.

the empirical formula is CH₂. We can find the mass of CH₂ one empirical unit and have to then find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula.

Mass of one empirical unit - CH₂ - 12 g/mol x 1 + 1 g/mol x 2 = 12 = 14 g

Molar mass of the compound is - 252 .5 g/mol

number of empirical units = molar mass / mass of empirical unit

                                           = \frac{252.5 g/mol}{14 g}

                                           = 18 units

Therefore molecular formula is - 18 times the empirical formula

molecular formula  - CH₂ x 18 = C₁₈H₃₆                                            

molecular formula is C₁₈H₃₆

What is the osmotic pressure of a 100 ml of toluene solution that contains a total of 0.005 moles of a polymer dissolved in it a
allsm [11]

Osmotic pressure is the pressure that would have to be applied to a pure solvent to prevent it from passing into a given solution by osmosis.

That can be mathematical computed from the expression:

Osmotic pressure=C×R×T

Where,

C= Concentration

R=Gas constant

T=Temperature

Concentration=Number of moles of solute/Volume(L)

=0.005*1000/100

=0.05

R= 0.08206 atm L/mol K

T=25+273

=298

Osmotic pressure= 0.05×0.08206×298

=1.2 atm

If an ideal gas has a pressure of 5.49 atm, a temperature of 88.78 °c, and has a volume of 22.03 l, how many moles of gas are in
kirza4 [7]
N = (PV)/RT
(T = 88.78 + 273 = 361.78K)
(R = 22.4/273 = 0.082)
= (5.49 x 22.03)/(0.082 x 361.78) = ?

What are transferred in an oxidation-reduction reaction (1 point)?
madreJ [45]
electrons are transferred    in a oxidation-reduction  reaction

oxidation reduction  chemical equation involve  electrons  transfer   between  two species. In this reduction-oxidation type of chemical equation    oxidation  number of   molecule, atoms or ion  changes  by  gaining or losing  electrons,that is there  an oxidizing  agent and a  reducing agent  in the reaction.
