CH4 is an emprirical formula as it shows the simplest ratio of the numbers of different atoms present in the molecule. The empirical formula for CH4 is also the same as the molecular formula.
The other compunds can be simplified so they are not the empirical formula of compounds.
Hope this helps :).
In chemistry, there is a common note that says, "Like dissolves like".
This pertains to the concept that polar substances can dissolve only other polar substances. Also, nonpolar substances are also only able to dissolve nonpolar substances.
Polarity of the substance depends primarily on the type of bond and the difference in electronegativity.
Water is a polar substance while vegetable oil is not. From the concept presented above, it may be concluded that water will not be able to dissolve the vegetable oil and the assumption is logical.
Indium has 49 protons
mass number (# of neutrons and # of protons combined) is 115
115 - 49 = 66
66 neutrons
Answer:
grams H₂O produced = 8.7 grams
Explanation:
Given 2C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(l)
7g 18g ?g
Plan => Convert gms to moles => determine Limiting reactant => solve for moles water => convert moles water to grams water
Moles Reactants
moles C₂H₆ = 7g/30g/mol = 0.233mol
moles O₂ = 18g/32g/mol = 0.563mol
Limiting Reactant => (Test for Limiting Reactant) Divide mole value by respective coefficient of balanced equation; the smaller number is the limiting reactant.
moles C₂H₆/2 = 0.233/2 = 0.12
moles O₂/7 = 0.08
<u><em>Limiting Reactant is O₂</em></u>
Moles and Grams of H₂O:
Use Limiting Reactant moles (not division value) to calculate moles of H₂O.
moles H₂O = 6/7(moles O₂) = 6/7(0.562) moles H₂O = 0.482 mole H₂O yield
grams H₂O = (0.482mol)(18g·mol⁻¹) = 8.7 grams H₂O
