1 mole of carbon dioxide contains a mass of 44 g, out of which 12 g are carbon. 
Hence, in this case the mass of carbon in 8.46 g of CO2:
 (12/44) × 8.46 = 2.3073 g
 1 mole of water contains 18 g, out of which 2 g is hydrogen;
Therefore, 2.6 g of water contains;
 (2/18) × 2.6 = 0.2889 g of hydrogen.
Therefore, with the amount of carbon and hydrogen from the hydrocarbon we can calculate the empirical formula.
We first calculate the number of moles of each,
Carbon = 2.3073/12  = 0.1923 moles
Hydrogen = 0.2889/1 = 0.2889 moles
Then, we calculate the ratio of Carbon to hydrogen by dividing with the smallest number value;
             Carbon : Hydrogen
  0.1923/0.1923 : 0.2889/0.1923
                       1 :  1.5
                      (1 : 1.5) 2
                     = 2 : 3
Hence, the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is C2H3

prohojiy [21]

Explanation:

A point of temperature at which both solid and liquid state of a substance remains in equilibrium without any change in temperature then this temperature is known as melting point.

For example, melting point of water is 0 ^{o}C. So, at this temperature solid state of water and liquid state are present in equilibrium with each other.

Therefore, when a 100 g of given pure metal in solid state is heated at its exact melting point which is 215^{o}C then some of the solid will change into liquid state but the temperature will remains the same.

Which statement is true regarding methane and ammonia?
sukhopar [10]
The options for given question are as follow,

1) Methane molecules show hydrogen bonding. 
<span>2) Ammonia molecules show hydrogen bonding. </span>
<span>3) Methane has stronger hydrogen bonding than ammonia. </span>
<span>4) Both the compounds do not show hydrogen bonding. </span>
<span>5) Both the compounds have strong hydrogen bonding.
</span>
Answer:
            Correct answer is Option-2 (Ammonia molecules show hydrogen bonding).

Explanation:
                   Hydrogen bond interactions are formed when a partial positive hydrogen atom attached to most electronegative atom of one molecule interacts with the partial negative most electronegative element of another molecule. So, in Ammonia hydrogen gets partial positive charge as nitrogen is highly electronegative. While the C-H bond in Methane is non-polar and fails to form hydrogen bond interactions.

The gravitational force exerted by an object is given by F = mg, where F is the force in newtons, m is the mass in kilograms, an
Andre45 [30]

The height of the column is 0.457 m and the mass of the atmosphere is calculated as 1.03 × 10 ⁴ kg.

<h3>What is Pascal? </h3>

Pascal is defined as the force per unit area. It expressed in Newton pr square meter of area.

1 Pa = 1 N / m²

Pressure = force / Area

According to the question, the expression of force is as given below

F = mg

where,

F is the force,

m is the mass,

g is equal to the acceleration due to the gravity

Now, the area of the atmosphere is 1 m².The pressure is 1 atm. Pressure in Pascal.

1 atm = 1.01325 × 10 5pa

Therefore, the expression for pascal become as follows.

1.01325 × 10 5 pa = mg /area

1.01325 × 10 5 pa = m × 9.81 m/s² / 1 m²

M = 1.01325 × 10 5 pa × 1 m² / 9.81 m² × 1 Nm -² /1 pa × 1 kg m-² / 1 N

1.03 × 10 ⁴ kg

Given,

The density is 22.6 g /mL , pressure is 1 atm, and area is 1 m²

The relation between density and pressure can be given as follows.

P = hpg… … …(1 )

were , h is the height of the column

p is the density.

Hpg = 1.01325 × 10 5 pa × 1 N/m² /1 pa

H = 1.01325 × 10 5 N/m² / pg × 1 kg ms-² / 1 N

= 1.01325 × 10 5 kg m-¹ s -² / 22.6 g mL -1 × 1 kg/ 10 ³ g × 1 mL / 10 -6 m ³ × 9.81 m s- ²

= 0.457 m

Therefore, the height of the column is 0.457 m.

Thus, we concluded that the height of the column is 0.457 m and the mass of the atmosphere is calculated as 1.03 × 10 ⁴ kg.
