An empirical formula is the "reduced" version of a molecular formula. For example, CH3 is the empirical formula for C2H6, C3H9, C4H12, and so forth. The difference in subscripts between an empirical formula and molecular formula is given by the constant n. If n is a whole number, this means the numerator is the molecular formula. So the answer is D. <span>subscript of C in molecular formula = n  subscript of C in empirical formula. This can be rewritten as:

n = subscript of C in molecular formula/subscript of C in empirical formula</span>

Did Chelate compounds increase the rate of reaction?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Chelate, any of a class of coordination or complex compounds consisting of a central metal atom attached to a large molecule, called a ligand, in a cyclic or ring structure. An example of a chelate ring occurs in the ethylenediamine-cadmium complex:

The ethylenediamine ligand has two points of attachment to the cadmium ion, thus forming a ring; it is known as a didentate ligand. (Three ethylenediamine ligands can attach to the Cd2+ ion, each one forming a ring as depicted above.) Ligands that can attach to the same metal ion at two or more points are known as polydentate ligands. All polydentate ligands are chelating agents.

Chelates are more stable than nonchelated compounds of comparable composition, and the more extensive the chelation—that is, the larger the number of ring closures to a metal atom—the more stable the compound. This phenomenon is called the chelate effect; it is generally attributed to an increase in the thermodynamic quantity called entropy that accompanies chelation. The stability of a chelate is also related to the number of atoms in the chelate ring. In general, chelates containing five- or six-membered rings are more stable than chelates with four-, seven-, or eight-membered rings.

Gaseous carbon monoxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form gaseous methane (ch4) and liquid water. express your answer as a chemic
laiz [17]
The formula for the compounds in the reaction are as follows with the respective states 
Carbon monoxide - CO (g)
hydrogen - H₂ (g)
methane - CH₄(g)
water - H₂O (l)
reaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen gas gives rise to methane and water
the balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows
CO(g) + 3H₂(g)  --> CH₄(g) + H₂O(l)
