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

What is the pH of a solution that has a pOH of 5.9
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

pH = 8.1

Explanation:

Assuming that we are at 25 degrees Celsius, pH + pOH = 14.

We can then plug in the given pOH and solve for pH:

pH + pOH = 14

pH + 5.9 = 14

pH = 14 - 5.9 = 8.1

The following information is to be used for the next 2 questions. In order to analyze for Mg and Ca, a 24-hour urine sample was
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The concentration of metal ions are:

[Ca^{2+}]= \dfrac{0.003474 \ M \times 20.49 \ mL}{10.0 \ mL}

[Ca^{2+}]=0.007118 \ M

[Mg^2+] = \dfrac{0.003474 \ M\times (26.23  - 20.49 )mL}{10.0 \ mL}

=0.001994 \ M

Mass of Ca²⁺ in 2.00 L urine sample is:

= 2.00 L \times 0.001994 \dfrac{mol}{L} \times \dfrac{40.08 \ g}{1 \ mol}

= 0.1598 g

Mass of Ca²⁺ = 159.0 mg

Mass of Mg²⁺ in 2.00 L urine sample is:

= 2.00 L \times 0.007118 \dfrac{mol}{L} \times \dfrac{24.31 \ g}{1 \ mol}

= 0.3461 g

Mass of Mg²⁺ = 346.1 mg

Compare<br> Ion and Radical<br> Atom and molecule<br> Organic and inorganic compounds
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

'An ion has a non-zero electric charge. A radical has an atom with unfilled electron shells and so is very reactive, but is electrically neutral.'

'Atoms are single neutral particles. Molecules are neutral particles made of two or more atoms bonded together.'

'The primary difference that lies between these organic compounds and inorganic compounds is that organic compounds always have a carbon atom while most of the inorganic compounds do not contain the carbon atom in them.'
