Step 1:
           Divide mass of each element with its M.mass in order to find out moles.

                       C  =  63.2 g / 12 g/mol  =  Moles  =  5.26 moles

                       H  =  5.26 g / 1.008 g/mol  =  Moles  =  5.21 moles

                       C  =  41.6 g / 16 g/mol  =  Moles  =  2.6 moles

Step 2:
          Select moles of the element with least value and divide all moles of element by it,
                             C                H             O          
                       5.26/2.6  :  5.21/2.6  :  2.6/2.6

                          2.02     :     2.00     :       1

Result:
               Empirical Formula  =     C₂H₂O

SpyIntel [72]
To determine whether the amount of H2 in the lab is dangerous, we first need to know how much hydrogen gas is present in the room in units of percent by volume. For this particular problem, we cannot exactly determine since we do not know the total volume of the room. Hope this answers the question.

Identify each of the following sets of quantum numbers as allowed or not allowed in the hydrogen atom.
Westkost [7]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to firstly recall the electron configuration of hydrogen:

1s^1

To realize that the principal quantum number is 1, the angular is 0 as well as the magnetic one; therefore we infer that all the given n's are not allowed, just l=0 is allowed as well as ml=0 yet the rest, are not allowed.

Best regards!
