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.

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

He developed the concept of concentric electron energy levels

Explanation:

Before Bohr's model, Rutherford's model was proposed. This model explains most of the properties of the atom but failed to explain the stability of the atom.

As per Rutherford's model, electrons revolve around the nucleus in the orbit.

But revolving electron in their orbit around nucleus would give up energy and so gradually move towards the nucleus and therefore, eventually collapse.

Bohr's proposed that the electrons around the nucleus move orbit of fixed energy called "stationary states". Electrons in these stationary states  do not radiate energy.

Therefore, proposal of concentric electron energy levels refine the atomic models.

astra-53 [7]

Answer: <u><em>Option B; It traps light energy and converts it into chemical energy.</em></u>

<h2>Explanation: This substance is chlorophyll. It is a pigment present in leaves of all plants. It absorbs light energy and provides it to carry out the process of photosynthesis. Light energy is converted into chemical energy, in form of NADPH and ATP, which can be used by plants for photosynthesis.</h2><h2></h2><h2>This pigment is present only in plants, so option A is incorrect.</h2><h2></h2><h2>This pigment only absorbs and transfers energy to other molecules, and is not associated with carbon dioxide directly, so option C and D are also incorrect.</h2>

How come there is only 3 C5H12 isomers?
liraira [26]

That's because the first and last carbon atoms cannot be branched to form an isomer . Therefore only the three middle carbon atoms can form isomers.

what is the best course of action if solid material remains in the flask after the heating step of recrystallization
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

filter the hot mixture.

Explanation:

Solid is stayed undissolved since the arrangement is gotten super saturated. On the off chance that solid molecule is available recrysallization won't happen in this way we need expel the solid molecule by filtarion in hot condition itself . Subsequently, arrangement become totally homogenous and recrysallization item will shaped by moderate cooling
