First let us get the molecular mass of the compound C2H5O.

C has molar mass of 12 amu, H is 1 amu, while O is 16 amu, therefore:

C2H5O = 12 amu * 2 + 1 amu * 5 + 16 amu = 45 amu

So to get 90 amu, simply double all the elements, therefore:

Let us assume that the given formula of elements is empirical formula where elements have simplest whole number ratio

The empirical mass =  2 X atomic mass of carbon + 5 X atomic mass of hydrogen + at mass of O

The empirical mass = 2 X 12 + 5 + 16 = 45

The ratio of molecular mass and empirical mass = 90 / 45 = 2

Molecular formula is obtained by multiplying the empirical formula with this ratio / factor

molecular formula = 2 X (C2H5O) = C4H10O2

Aluminum has a density of 2.7 g/cm3, how much space in cm3 would 81 grams of aluminum occupy? Show steps to answering this equat
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

30 cm³

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Density of aluminum (ρ): 2.7 g/cm³
  • Mass of aluminum (m): 81 g
  • Volume occupied by aluminum (V): ?

Step 2: Calculate the volume occupied by aluminum

The density of aluminum is equal to its mass divided by its volume.

ρ = m/V

V = m/ρ

V = 81 g / 2.7 g/cm³

V = 30 cm³

Ann and Carol each lift the timber with a force of 80 kg/m/s2. If they lift the timber a distance of 1.25 meters, how much work
Novosadov [1.4K]
Work is defined energy transferred from one to another. 
The formula for work done is work done = force x distance

So in our problem, force is equal to 80 kg/ m / s^2 and distance is equal to 1.25 meters. So plugging in our values will give us:

work done = 80 kg/ m/ s^2 * 1.25 m
= 100.00 J is the answer.
