The empirical formula is a formula of a compound showing the proportion of each element involved in the compounds but it does not represent the total number of atoms in the compound. It is the lowest number of ratio between the elements in the compound. In order, to determine the actual number of the atoms or the molecular formula of the compounds, we make use of the molar mass of the compound. 

<span>To determine the molecular formula, we multiply a value to the empirical formula. Then, calculate the molar mass and see whether it is equal to the one given (104.1 g/ mol). From the choices, the only valid options are b, d and e.
</span>                  molar mass
1     CH          13.02
8   C8H8      104.16
6   C6H6      78.12

Therefore the correct answer is option B.

Answer:

b. C₈H₈

Explanation:

The empirical formula of styrene is CH. To calculate the molecular formula, we have to calculate "n", where n:

n=\frac{molar\ mass\ molecular\ formula }{molar\ mass\ empirical\ formula}

The molar mass of the empirical formula is C + H = 12.01 + 1.00 = 13.01 g/mol

The molar mass of the molecular formula is 104.1 g/mol

n = (104.1 g/mol) / (13.01 g/mol) ≈ 8

The molecular formula is:

Molecular formula = n × Empirical formula = 8 × CH = C₈H₈

What are the number of ions Fe^+2 and Fe^+3 in Fe7(CN)18?​
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

2x + 3y = 18 sum of charges of the iron ions must be +18 to balance 18 CN- ... y = 4 so there are 4 Fe3+ ions and (7–4) = 3

Can someone provide me with 5 different sentences describing what the boundry type Divergent - Mid-Ocean Ridge is? 10 POINTS!!
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The massive mid-ocean ridge system is a continuous range of underwater volcanoes that wraps around the globe like seams on a baseball, stretching nearly 65,000 kilometers (40,390 miles).

The majority of the system is underwater, with an average water depth to the top of the ridge of 2,500 meters (8,200 feet).

Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart.

As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing enormous volcanic eruptions of basalt.

The speed of spreading affects the shape of a ridge – slower spreading rates result in steep, irregular topography while faster spreading rates produce much wider profiles and more gentle slopes.

tell me if this is wrong please

Calculate the mass of 20.0 moles of He (in g)
Daniel [21]

Explanation:

20.0 moles= 80.1 or 80.05g

5.00 moles= 20.0g

1.20×1025moles= 4923.2g

1.00 moles= 4.00g

80.0 moles= 320.2g
