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

Explain how the structure and bonding in bromine account for it's relatively low melting point. [3]
Sever21 [200]
Melting point is dependent on the intermolecular forces which means the bonds between the molecules of bromine as it is a simple molecular structure the intermolecular bonds of bromine are weak bcz they are weak vandervaal forces thats why Bromines melting point is low..In short when intermolecular bomds are weak the M.P is lower

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The atomic number tell us the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. in other words ,each element has a unique number that identifies how many protons are in one atom of that element example, all hydrogen atoms, and only hydrogen atoms, contain one proton and have an atomic number of 1.

When biological samples of unknown origins are discovered at a crime scene, what should investigators do?a. assume no pathogens
adoni [48]

Answer: assume pathogens are present and treat the samples accordingly

Explanation:

When investigators are unable to conclusively ascertain the source of a biological sample found at a crime scene, the correct thing to do is to treat it as if pathogens are present in it and handle it according to set rules on how to handle pathogens.

This is done to ensure that if a pathogen is indeed present, it would not cause a health emergency by infecting those who come in contact with the samples at the scene.

The energies of the bonds broken in a certain reaction are greater than the energies of the bonds formed. Which one of the follo
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a. The reaction is endothermic.

Explanation:

The heat involved in a chemical reaction is given by the enthalpy change (ΔH), which is equal to the balance between the chemical bonds that are broken (release energy) and the chemical bonds that are formed (need energy):

ΔH ≅ bonds broken - bonds formed

If broken bonds > bonds formed ⇒ ΔH > 0 ⇒ endothermic reaction

Therefore, the reaction is endothermic (it requires energy).
