Basis of the calculation: 100g
 
For Carbon: 
 Mass of carbon = (100 g)(0.80) = 80 g
  Number of moles of carbon = (80 g)(1 mole / 12g) = 20/3

For Hydrogen:
  Mass of hydrogen = (100 g)(0.20) = 20 g
     Number of moles of hydrogen = (20 g)(1 mole / 1 g) = 20

Translating the answer to the formula of the substance,
     C20/3H20

Dividing the answer,
    CH3

The molar mass of the empirical formula is:
    12 + 3 = 15 g/mol

Since, the molar mass given for the molecular formula is 30.069 g/mol, the molecular equation is,
    C2H6

ANSWER: C2H6

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The final volume in mL is 7.14 mL or 7.1 mL.

Explanation:

1.Use Boyle's Law(P_{1} V_{1}= P_{2} V_{2}). Re-arrange to solve for V_{2}<em> for the final volume.</em>

<em />

<em>2. Plug in values. </em>V_{2} =\frac{(2.7 atm)(4.5 mL)}{(1.7 atm)}  = 7.14 mL

Where are electrons most likely to be found in the cloud?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

nucleus

Explanation:

Electrons are found in clouds that surround the nucleus of an atom. Those clouds are specific distances away from the nucleus and are generally organized into shells. Because electrons move so quickly, it is impossible to see where they are at a specific moment in time.
