C7H16, where C=12.01, and H=1.01, so the weight of the molecule would be 7(12.01)+16(1.01), or 100.23. The percentage of carbon would be found by ((7*12.01)/100.23)*100=83.88% Carbon
((16*1.01)/100.23)*100=16.12% Hydrogen

In an experiment, two unknown compounds (one an alcohol and the other an ether) of equal molecular mass were dissolved in water.
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer: B. It is an ether because it is unable to to form a hydrogen bond, so it is less soluble than water

Explanation: Alcohols (ROH) are more soluble in water as they can form hydrogen bonding with water whereas ethers (ROR) are less soluble as they do not form hydrogen bonds with water.

For formation of hydrogen bond, the electronegative atom (F, Oand N) must be attached to hydrogen and in ethers (ROR), there is no hydrogen directly attached to electronegative oxygen atom, thus are less soluble in water.

The atomic and mass numbers for four different atoms are given below. Which two are isotopes of the same element?
Dmitrij [34]
The correct option is B AND C.
An isotope is defined as two or more forms of the same element which contain equal number of protons but different number of neutrons in their nuclei, hence they differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties.
Thus, isotopes has the same number of protons but differ in number of neutrons. Due to this fact, isotopes always have the same atomic number but different mass number. You will notice that the atomic number given for elements B and C are the same [101].
