Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound 
in 100 g of compound 
                                C                          H                          O
mass                   25.5 g                     6.40 g                 68.1 g
number of moles  25.5 g/12 g/mol      6.40 g/ 1 g/mol      68.1 g/ 16 g/mol 
                             = 2.13 mol              = 6.40 mol          = 4.26 mol
divide by least number of moles 
                             2.13/2.13 = 1          6.40/2.13 = 3.0    4.26/2.13 = 2.0
all rounded off 
C - 1
H - 3
O - 2

empirical formula - CH₃O₂

Which pair of atoms has the most polar bond?<br> (1) H−Br <br> (2) H−Cl <br> (3) I−Br<br> (4) I−Cl
S_A_V [24]
For the question given above, option 2 which is H-Cl pair of atoms has the most polar bond among the four of them. 

The larger the value of the electronegativity, the greater the atom’s strength to attract a bonding pair of electrons. <span>Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0. The electron pair that is bonding HCl together shifts toward the chlorine atom because it has a larger electronegativity value.</span>

Physical and chemical changes are reversible and nonreversible changes. The release of carbon dioxide gas indicates a chemical change.

<h3>What is a chemical change?</h3>

A chemical change is a change in which a new substance is produced when the reactants react in the reaction mixture. The chemical produced cannot be reversed back to the reactants and hence, it is nonreversible.

The release of carbon dioxide is a chemical change as limestone and hydrochloric acid react with each other chemically and as a result, a new substance was formed.

Therefore, the production of carbon dioxide indicates a chemical change.

C5H6 reacts with itself to form C10H12 according to the following process
swat32
When carbon compounds react with themselves to form a larger molecule the process is called polymerization. Specifically addition polymerization. sometimes molecules containing containing carbon to carbon double bonds can join together to form longer chains. The double bond is broken and the electrons in it join to neighboring molecules.

How much time would it take for 5.2 x 10^5 atoms of fermium-253 (half-life 3 days) to decay to 6.5 x 104 atoms?
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

9 days, or 3 half-lives

Explanation:

5.2x10^5=520000

6.5x10^4=65000

65000/520000=1/8, or 3 half-lives

3x3=9 days

I'm not the greatest at Chem but this seems more like math than Chem :)
