M(C2H2O)= 12.0*2 +1.0*2 +16.0 = 42 g/mol is a molar mass for empirical formula.

120.6g/mol/42g/mol ≈ 3

So, empirical formula should be increased 3 times,

and molecular formula is C6H6O3.

Answer is D.

Lewis dot structure for N3-

labwork [276]

Answer :

The steps involved in the electron dot structure of $N^{3-}$ are :

First we have to determine the total number of valence electron in $N^{3-}$ .

Number of valence electrons in N = 5

The charge on N is (-3). So, we add 3 electrons.

Total number of valence electrons = 5 + 3 = 8 electrons

How many moles of iron are there in 55.85g of Fe3O4

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

• Molecular mass of Iron (III) tetraoxide

$\dashrightarrow \: { \tt{(56 \times 3) + (16 \times 4)}} \\ = { \tt{168 + 64}} \\ = { \tt{232\:g}}$

[ molar masses: Fe → 56, O → 16 ]

$\dashrightarrow \:{ \rm{232 \: g \: = 1 \: mole}} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: { \rm{55.85 \: g = ( \frac{55.85}{232}) \: moles }} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: { \boxed{ \tt{ = 0.24 \: moles}}}$
