Answer:

Empirical formula - C_{7}H_{8}

Explanation:

From the given,

Mass of CO_{2} = 6.45 mg= 0.00645 g

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of CO_{2} = 44 g/mol

Given mass of H_{2}O = 1.51 mg= 0.00151 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.0 g/mol

0.00645\times \frac{1molCO_{2}}{44gCO_{2}}\times \frac{1mol\,C}{1mol\,CO_{2}}= 1

0.00151\times \frac{1molH_{2}O}{44gH_{2}O}\times \frac{2mol\,H}{1mol\,H_{2}O}= 1.4

1:1.4

Those two values are multiplied by two.(molar ratio -7)

1:1.4\times 7= 7:8

Therefore, empirical formula - C_{7}H_{8}

why is it harder to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon? to put it another way, why are the outermost electrons of
Verizon [17]

It is harder to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon because the size of the nuclear charge in fluorine is larger than that of carbon.

The energy required to remove an electron from an atom is called ionization energy.

The ionization energy largely depends on the size of the nuclear charge. The larger the size of the nuclear charge, the higher the ionization energy because it will be more difficult to remove an electron from the atom owing to increased electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and orbital electrons.

Since fluorine has a higher size of the nuclear charge than carbon. More energy is required to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon leading to the observation that;  it is harder to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon.
