The molecular formula is D. C_8H_20O_4Si.

<em>Step 1</em>.Calculate the <em>empirical formula </em>

a) Calculate the moles of each element

Moles of C= 196.01 g C × (1 mol C/12.01 g C) = 16.325 mol C  

Moles of H = 41.14 g H × (1 mol H/1.008 g H) = 40.813 mol H

Moles of O = 130.56 g O × (1 mol O/16.00 g O) = 8.1650 mol O

Moles of Si = 57.29 g Si × (1 mol Si/28.085 g Si) = 2.0399 mol Si

b) Calculate the molar ratio of each element

Divide each number by the smallest number of moles and round off to an integer

C:H:O:Si = 8.0027:20.008:4.0027:1 ≈ 8:20:4:1

c) Write the empirical formula

EF = C_8H_20O_4Si

<em>Step </em>2. Calculate the <em>molecular formula</em>

EF Mass = 208.33 u

MF mass = 208.329  u

MF = (EF)_n

n = MF Mass/EF Mass = 208.329 u/208.33 u = 1.0000 ≈ 1

MF = C_8H_20O_4Si

Which of the following is a valid mole ratio from the balanced equation 2Fe2O3+3C yield 4Fe+3CO2
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer :

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2Fe_2O_3+3C\rightarrow 4Fe+3CO_2

From this balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

2 moles of iron oxide react with the 3 moles of carbon to give 4 moles of iron and 3 moles of carbon dioxide.

Therefore, the valid mole ratio from the balanced chemical reaction is,

Fe_2O_3:C:Fe:CO_2=2:3:4:3

Imagine that you are a water molecule in an ice cube. Describe what happens to you as the ice cube is heated up to a temperature
aleksley [76]
First you would melt because the melting point for ice is 0c. Then you would become warmer and warmer as the temperature rises. Lastly once the temperature reaches 100c you'll begin to evaporate as the boiling point for water is 100c.

As heat records across europe became toast, england topped what torturous temp for the first time?.
Zanzabum

England topped what torturous temp for the first time of 40°C

For the first time ever, Britain experienced temperatures on Tuesday of over 40 degrees Celsius, or 104 degrees Fahrenheit, as a fierce heat wave moved northwest, causing raging wildfires, fatalities, and forced home evacuations throughout a Europe that was terrifyingly unprepared to deal with the new reality of extreme weather.

<h3>What is heat wave ?</h3>

A heat wave is a period of very hot weather that may also be accompanied by significant humidity, especially in nations with maritime climates. While there are several definitions, a heat wave is typically assessed in relation to the local climate and the average temperatures for the time of year.

  • Heat waves begin when high pressure in the atmosphere moves in and pushes warm air toward the ground. That air warms up further as it is compressed, and we begin to feel a lot hotter.
