Answer:
C₂H₄O₂
Explanation:
Step 1: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element
C: 40.00/12.01 = 3.331
H: 6.67/1.01 = 6.60
O: 53.33/16.00 = 3.333
Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one
C: 3.331/3.331 = 1
H: 6.60/3.331 ≈ 2
O: 3.333/3.331 ≈ 1
The empirical formula is CH₂O, with a molecular weight of 12 g/mol + 2 × 1 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 30 g/mol. The molecular weight of the compound must be a product of 30, such as 60 (between 55 and 62 g/mol). Since we have to multiply by 2 (30 to 60) to get to the molecular weight of the compound, we also have to multiply the empirical formula by 2 to get the chemical formula of the compound.
CH₂O × 2 = C₂H₄O₂

Answer:
Solid
Explanation:
In solid there are strong intermolecular forces present as compared to liquid and gas. This is why solid are in more packed form as compared to liquid and gas. In liquid and gas intermolecular forces are week that's why molecules are away from each other and occupy more space.
Properties of gases:
Molecule of gases randomly move everywhere and occupy all available space.
Gases don't have definite volume and shape and take the shape and volume of container in which it present.
Their densities are very low as compared to the liquid and solids.
Gas molecules are at long distance from each other therefore by applying pressure gases can be compressed.
The very weak inter molecular forces are present between gas molecules.
Properties of Liquid:
Liquid have definite volume but don't have definite shape.
Their densities are high as compared to the gases but low as compared to the solids.
In liquid, molecules are close to each other and have greater inter molecular forces as compared to the gas molecules.
Properties of solids:
Solids have definite volume and shape.
In solids molecules are tightly pack and very close to each other.
Their melting and boiling point are every high.
The densities of solids are also very high as compared to the liquid and gas.
There are very strong inter molecular forces are present between solid molecules.
They are all <u>non-metal elements</u>.
They may break bonds,form new compounds, new ions etc...
