You need the mass composition of the compound.

This composition works fine for the formula mass 150 amu.

C: 40.0%
H: 6.7%
O: 53.3%

From that, you can solve the problem following theses steps:

1) Convert mass composition fo molar ratios by dividing ech element by its atomic mass =>

C: 40.0 / 12 = 3.33
H: 6.70 / 1 = 6.70
O: 53.3 / 16 = 3.33

2) Divide all the numbers by the smallest one =>

C: 3.33 / 3.33 = 1
H: 6.70 / 3.33 = 2
O: 3.33 / 3.33 = 1

3) Write the empirial formula and calculate its mass:

C H2 O => 1 * 12.0 g/mol + 2 * 1.0 g/mol + 1 * 16.0 g/mol = 30 g/mol

4) Calculate how many times the empirical mass is contained in the molecular mass:

150 / 30 = 5

5) Conclusion:

The molecular formula is C5 H10 O5, i.e. the number of each atom in the molecular formula are:

C =5, H = 10, O = 5.

The '3' informs us that the element is in the 3rd Energy Level or row of the periodic table. The 'p' tells us that the element is found in the p-block which are all of the Groups to the right of the transition metals, columns 13-18. The superscript '2' tells us that the element is found in the 2nd column of the p-block Group 14.

What happen when you add heat to solids and liquids?​
sasho [114]
When you add heat to a solid the particles gain energy and start to vibrate faster and faster.
When you add heat to a liquid the particles are given more energy and move faster and faster expanding the liquid.

What two types of matter are closest in<br> density? How do you know?<br> ings.
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Density: The molecules of a liquid are packed relatively close together. Consequently, liquids are much denser than gases. The density of a liquid is typically about the same as the density of the solid state of the substance.

In a gas, the distance between molecules, whether monatomic or polyatomic, is very large compared with the size of the molecules; thus gases have a low density and are highly compressible. In contrast, the molecules in liquids are very close together, with essentially no empty space between them
