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

How does energy flow through the reef ecosystem?
Free_Kalibri [48]
Photosynthesizing plants and algae convert light energy into chemical energy, which then gets passed through the food web to plant eaters, flesh eaters, and ultimately to scavengers and decomposers.

Which one of the following compounds will be least soluble in water?
algol [13]

Water is a polar solvent. Since, 'Like dissolves like' a polar compound will be most soluble in water whereas a non-polar compound will be the least soluble.

The increasing order of polarity for the given organic compounds is:-

CH3OCH3 < CH3NH2 < CH3CHO < CH3CH2OH

Ether is the least polar and hence least soluble in water.

Calculate the energy required to heat 406.0mg of cyclohexane from 33.5°C to 38.9°C . Assume the specific heat capacity of cycloh
N76 [4]

Answer:

Q = 4.056 J

Explanation:

  • Q = m<em>C</em>ΔT

∴ m = 406.0 mg = 0.406 g

∴ <em>C </em>= 1.85 J/g.K

∴ T1 = 33.5°C ≅ 306.5 K

∴ T2 = 38.9°C = 311.9 K

⇒ ΔT = 311.9 - 306.5 = 5.4 K

⇒ Q = (0.406 g)(1.85 J/gK)(5.4 K)

⇒ Q = 4.056 J
