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

At what temperature does a heat pump become ineffective?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:between 25 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit

Explanation:

Heat pumps do not operate as efficiently when temperatures drop to between 25 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit for most systems. A heat pump works best when the temperature is above 40. Once outdoor temperatures drop to 40 degrees, heat pumps start losing efficiency, and they consume more energy to do their jobs.
