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

What is the purpose of galvanization?​
frutty [35]
Galvanizing protects from rust in a number of ways: It forms a barrier that prevents corrosive substances from reaching the underlying steel or iron. The zinc serves as a sacrificial anode so that even if the coating is scratched, the exposed steel will still be protected by the remaining zinc.

A gas occupies a 1.5 L container at 25 degrees Celsius and 2.0 atm. If the gas is transferred to a 3.0 L container at the same t
harkovskaia [24]

To solve this we assume that the gas is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant temperature and number of moles of the gas the product of PV is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

P1V1 =P2V2

P2 = P1 x V1 / V2

P2 = 2.0 x 1.5 / 3

<span>P2 = 1 atm</span>
