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

Atomic mass unit is calculated with reference to
Gennadij [26K]
An atomic mass unit is defined as a mass equal to one twelfth the mass of an atom of carbon-12. The mass of any isotope of any element is expressed in relation to the carbon-12 standard. For example, one atom of helium-4 has a mass of 4.0026 amu. An atom of sulfur-32 has a mass of 31.972 amu.

You throw a 2-kg rock with a force of 10 N. What is the acceleration of the rock?
Tema [17]

Answer:

<h2>5 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{10}{2}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>5 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

attashe74 [19]

Answer: C

Explanation:

According to Neils Bohr, atoms contain electrons which are arranged in energy levels. The energy levels proceed from the lowest to the highest. When energy is supplied to an atom,it moves from lower to higher energy levels. The higher energy level is known as the excited state. Excited states are short lived and atoms quickly return to ground state with emission of the absorbed energy in the form of visible light. This visible light must have one of the seven colours observed in the visible spectrum; Red, orange, yellow, indigo, blue, green, violet. Energy required for this excitation is supplied by heating the substance in a flame.
