Answer:

Empirical formula is CH₂O.

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 3.36 g

Mass of carbon = 20.00 g

Mass of oxygen = 26.64 g

Molar mass of compound = 180.156 g/mol

Empirical formula = ?

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of atoms of different elements in small whole number

Number of gram atoms of H = 3.36 / 1.01 = 3.3

Number of gram atoms of O = 26.64 / 16 = 1.7

Number of gram atoms of C = 20 / 12 = 1.7

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :        H            :         O

           1.7/1.7                :     3.3/1.7       :       1.7/1.7

              1                     :           2          :        1

C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

Empirical formula is CH₂O.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass = CH₂O = 12×1 + 2× + 16

Empirical formula mass = 30

n = 180.156 / 30

n = 6

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 6 (CH₂O)

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

0.00000000082 -<br> scientific notation
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

8.2 x 106^-11

Explanation:

To begin this problem you must remember the basic rule of scientific notation, which is, must be between 1-10. .000000000082 is much smaller than 1. However by moving the decimal 11 spots to the right, we can make it 8.2

Continue to move the decimal to the right until the value is in the 1-10 range. Make sure to count the moves to the right.

Once the decimal is in the right spot count the spots moved.

Since the number is wayyy smaller than the answer given the number will be negative 10^-11, in order to make it what is was before.
