<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Empirical formula = C₂H₃O

Molecular formula = C₁₄H₂₁O₇

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Empirical formula

Moles of;

Carbon = 55.8 /12 = 4.65 moles

Hydrogen = 7.04/ 1 = 7.04 moles

Oxygen  = 37.16/ 16 = 2.3225 moles

We then get the mole ratio;

4.65/2.3225 = 2.0

7.04/2.3225 = 3.0

2.3225/2.3225 = 1.0

Therefore;

The empirical formula = <u>C₂H₃O</u>

Molecular formula;

(C2H3O)n = 301.35 g

(12 ×2 + 3× 1 + 16×1)n = 301.35

43n = 301.35

  n = 7

Therefore;

Molecular formula = (C2H3O)7

                             <u> = C₁₄H₂₁O₇</u>

Which element would be expected to have chemical and physical properties closest to those of rubidium?
DIA [1.3K]
Rubidium is an element that belongs to Group 1.  As such it will have physical properties similar to the other Group 1 elements.  Rubidium is below Potassium in the periodic table but above Cesium.  As such it would be most like one of those two elements.

What is one chemical reaction that begins with petroleum as a starting material
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Thermal decomposition or cracking

Explanation:

Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons which are usually formed naturally. Petroleum undergo a host of chemical reactions. One of such is thermal decomposition or cracking.

Cracking is used in the petroleum industry to covert heavy fractions to more useful lighter ones.

When petroleum is subjected to high temperature and pressure, and in the presence of catalyst, the long chain type of petroleum will decompose into more useful smaller and lighter molecules.

Example is given below:

                  C₁₅H₃₂ → C₈H₁₈ + C₃H₆ + 2C₂H₄
