A sample of a compound contains 60.0 g C and 5.05 g H.

divide by molar mass of C(12) and H(1) to get molar ratio

C: 60/12=5 and H: 5/1=5

so C:H=5:5=1:1

total molar mass=78

divide by 1C+1H to find the formula: 78/(12+1)=78/13=6

compound is C6H6

Step 1: Calculate Moles for each Element:

Mole of C  =  60.0 / 12  =  5

Mole of H  =  5.05 / 1.008  =  5.009

Step 2: Calculate Mole Ratio:
                                             Divide each mole value with least mole value.

                                 H     :      C

                     5.009/5       :     5/5

                                  1    :     1
So,
           Empirical Formula  =  C₁H₁ or CnHn      ------ (1)

Step 3: Calculate Molecular Formula:
By using formula,
                               n  =  Molecular Mass / Empirical Formula Mass

Molecular Mass  =  78.12 g/mol

Empirical Formula Mass  =  12 + 1  = 13          ∴ C = 12 & H = 1
So,
                               n  =  78.12 / 13 

                               n  =  6

Putting value of n in eq. 1,
  
                                                  C₆H₆
Result:
            
The correct answer is C₆H₆.

What is Cd2+ and F1- together as a formula
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

i am not sure tho

Explanation:

Cd ²+ + F¹- = CdF2

F fluor is a non metal so he takes the electons that Cd gives so if Vd has to give 2 electrons and F can take only 1, there has to be 2 F atoms so all the electrona can be neutral and in ionisation

Can u see water vapour by a microscope?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

It can be formed either through a process of evaporation or sublimation. Unlike clouds, fog, or mist which are simply suspended particles of liquid water in the air, water vapour itself cannot be seen because it is in gaseous form

Match each description below with the name of the local wind system being described. warm, dry downslope wind affecting Southern
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

warm, dry downslope wind affecting Southern California - Santa Ana wind

a seasonally changing wind- monsoon

wind blowing from a valley up a mountain slope - valley breeze

generated by cold thunderstorm downdrafts - haboob

Explanation:

The Santa Ana wind occurs in early autumn. They bring hot and dry weather to areas around the South-West coast. They move at high speeds, affecting most parts of Southern California.

Monsoon is a seasonal wind that blows across Southern Asia. It usually blows in summer. It is a a seasonally changing wind.

Valley breeze is an example of convection current in nature. It is produced by rapid warming of the valley floor leading to the expansion of air making it to flow up the slopes. At night, radiation from the surface cools the slopes. This leads to the rise of cooler and denser air which drains into the valley.

Haboob is generated by cold thunderstorm downdrafts. It is associated with large sandstorms and dust storms.

<span /><span /><span>
2) Protons are positive particles that are inside the nuclus of the atom.
</span><span />

<span>3) The nucleus of the atom has the same number of protons as electrons are in the orbitals of the atom.
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
4) The atoms are neutral (neither positive nor negative) because there are the same number of electrons and protons and their charge are of the same magnitude but different sign: (+) + (-) = 0: positive + negative = neutral.</span>
