Answer:

C8H8O2

Explanation:

The molecular formula of a compound is simply a multiple of the empirical formula as shown below:

Molecular formula => [C4H4O]n

From the question given, we were told that molar mass of the compound is 136g/mol. This implies that:

[C4H4O]n = 136

Now, let us find the value of n in order to obtain the desired result. This is illustrated below:

[C4H4O]n = 136

[(12x4) + (4x1) + 16]n = 136

[48 + 4 + 16]n = 136

68n = 136

Divide both side by the coefficient of n i.e 68

n = 136/68

n = 2

Therefore the molecular formula is

=> [C4H4O]n

=> [C4H4O]2

=> C8H8O2

oils will dissolve best in solvents that are? A. polar B. nonpolar C. either polar or nonpolar D. neither polar nor nonpolar
Genrish500 [490]
The answer is <span>B. nonpolar.

Polar molecules dissolve best in polar solvents while nonpolar molecules dissolve best in nonpolar solvents. </span>Oils are nonpolar. So, they will dissolve best in nonpolar solvents. If you put oil in some polar solvent, such as water, it will hardly dissolve.

What is the most likely type of bond formed between element x and iodine?
Tanzania [10]
The most likely bond between element X and Iodine would be an ionic, or electrovalent, bond. Iodine has seven electrons in its outer shell, also known as the valence shell. To become perfectly stable, it needs only a single electron from another element. Hence no sharing of electron takes place (usually), which is the condition required for it to be covalent bonding. Hence it's most likely an ionic bonding/

Calculate the density of helium if a balloon with a capacity of 5.00 L holds 0.890 g.
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Density is m/V. Also, 1 liter = 1000 cm^3. So, we get 0.890/(5*1000) = 1.78*10^{-4} g/cm^3. You can convert this to kg/m^3 as well by multiplying it by 10. Depends which one you want.
