Molecular formula of compound is C4H10

Answer: C_4H_{10}

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

To calculate the molecular formula, we need to find the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

Given empirical formula is C_2H_5 Empirical mass =2\times 12+1\times 5=29amu

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}=\frac{58}{29}=2

The molecular formula will be C_2H_5\times 2=C_4H_{10}

As Jesse's hybrid accelerates to pass a car on the highway, he notices that his gas mileage drops from 40 miles per gallon to 15
e-lub [12.9K]
The most likely explanation for this observation is C. his car has turned on more pistons to provide the extra energy needed to accelerate.

When cruising, hybrid cars are able to employ electrical energy to drive the car. Moreover, even if a vehicle is not a hybrid, a greater amount of fuel is consumed when one accelerates because the vehicle has to generate a force larger than the force of air resistance in order for it to accelerate. This increased demand of force reduces the vehicle's fuel economy.

bartleby whihch of the foololwing is the correct cell notation for the reaction Hg2 Cd(s)-> Cd2 2Hg(l)
Misha Larkins [42]

Cd2+ + 2Hg Cd + Hg22+. Both Cd2+ + 2e Cd(s) -0.40 and Hg22+ + 2e 2Hg(l) 0.79

A chemical reaction known as an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction includes the exchange of electrons between two substances.

Any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by acquiring or losing an electron is referred to as an oxidation-reduction reaction. Decomposition Reaction is one of the several redox reactions.

This is the redox reaction's overall cell potential. Cd2+ + 2Hg Cd + Hg22+. Both Cd2+ + 2e Cd(s) -0.40 and Hg22+ + 2e 2Hg(l) 0.79

Reduction describes the increase in electrons. Oxidation and reduction always occur jointly because any loss of electrons by one substance must be followed by a gain of electrons by another.

Therefore, oxidation-reduction processes or simply redox reactions are other names for electron-transfer events.

What would happen to the water’s boiling point if MgSO4 is added to it?
kirill [66]

Answer:

When Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) dissolves, it separates into its ions: a magnesium ion (Mg2+) and a sulfate ion (SO4 2-), which results in hard water. When hard water and soap are mixed, the magnesium ion reacts with soap molecules and forms a solid material called a precipitate, which does not dissolve.
