The empirical formula gives the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in the compound. Molecular formula gives the actual composition of elements in the compound.
empirical formula - CH₂O
Mass of one empirical unit = 12 + (1x2) + 16 = 30 a.m.u
We have to next calculate how many empirical units make up the molecular formula. For that we have to divide molecular mass by mass of one empirical unit.
Number of empirical units = 180 a.m.u / 30 = 6
There are 6 empirical units 
Therefore molecular formula = 6 x(CH₂O) = C₆H₁₂O₆
Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

In at least 4 complete sentences, describe the similarities and differences between Avogadro's Law and Charles' Law.
viktelen [127]

answer

Avogadro's law states that, at constant temperature and pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles present. In other words, equal volumes of gases at the same pressure and temperature contain the same number of molecules - this is true regardless of their physical properties or chemical nature.

This number of molecules is

6.022

⋅

10

23

and is known as Avogadro's number,

N

A

.

Matematically, Avogadro's law can be written like this

V

n

=

c

o

n

s

t

, or, better yet,

V

1

n

1

=

V

2

n

.

Avogadro's law, as well as Boyle's law and Charles' law, are special cases of the ideal gas law,

P

V

=

n

R

T

. If temperature and pressure are kept constant, and knowing that

R

is of course constant, then

P

V

=

n

R

T

→

P

V

n

=

R

T

→

V

n

=

R

T

P

=

o

n

s

t

, which represents Avogadro's law.

The ideal gas law can also be written to incorporate

N

A

, since the number of moles are actually the number of molecules divided by Avogadro's number

P

V

=

N

N

A

⋅

R

, where

N

represents the number of molecules.

If a neutral atom has 24 electrons and 26 neutrons how many protons does it have?​
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

24

Explanation:

The number of protons in the atom of the neutral element will also be 24.

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom.

Electrons are the negatively charged particles

Neutrons do not carry any charges at all

Now, in a neutral atom, the charge is balanced and the number of protons and electrons are the same in the atom.

So, since we have been given that the atom has 24 electrons, the number of protons will be 24.
