Explanation:

In order to find the molecular formula, we have to find the empirical formula first of all.

It is known that is a styrofoam, elements present are carbon and hydrogen atoms.

Element     %         Atomic mass       Molar ratio           Simple ratio

    C        92.25          12.01              \frac{92.25}{12.01} = 7.68                 \frac{7.68}{7.68} = 1

     H        7.75            1.008            \frac{7.75}{1.008} = 7.68                 \frac{7.68}{7.68} = 1

As empirical formula of styrofoam is C_{x}H_{x}.

Hence, empirical mass = (12.01 + 1.008) g/mol = 13.018 g/mol = 13.0 g/mol (approx)

Molar mass given is 104 g/mol.

So,     \frac{\text{molar mass}}{\text{empirical formula mass}} = \frac{104}{13.0} = 8

Thus, we can conclude that molecular formula of the given styrene is C_{8}H_{8}.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The basic oxide is an oxide-forming a base solution.

These oxides are mainly from group 1 alkaline and group 2-alkaline earth

If this oxide is dissolved in water it will form an alkaline solution

LO + H₂O --> L(OH)₂ ---> alkaline earth

L₂O + H₂O --> LOH --> alkaline

So the basic oxides  : Na₂O and MgO

Na₂O + H₂O --> NaOH (sodium hydroxide, strong base)

MgO + H₂O --> Mg(OH)₂ (magnesium hydroxide, strong base)

The aqueous solution of CO₂ , obtained by dissolving CO₂ in water

CO₂ + H₂O --> H₂CO₃ (carbonic acid)

In general, basic oxide is obtained from metal oxide, while acid oxide is obtained from non-metal oxide

The table describes how some substances were formed.
Tanzania [10]

R is the mixture formed by adding 5 g of sugar to 1 L of water.

<h3>Which is a mixture?</h3>

A mixture is an impure substance made up of two or more substances which are miscible or immiscible in each other.

Dissolving the sugar in the water makes a homogenous mixture and once dissolved a solution is made by the combination of a solute (sugar) and solvent (water).

Hence, R is the mixture formed by adding 5 g of sugar to 1 L of water.
