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

Covalent bond of N and S
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Covalent bond between identical atoms

Covalent bonds occur between identical atoms or between different atoms whose difference in electronegativity is insufficient to allow transfer of electrons to form ions. ... The two hydrogen atoms are attracted to the same pair of electrons in the covalent bond.

1. A 225-L barrel of white wine has an initial free SO2 concentration of 22 ppm and a pH of 3.70. How much SO2 (in grams) should
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The appropriate answer is "9.225 g".

Explanation:

Given:

Required level,

= 63 ppm

Initial concentration,

= 22 ppm

Now,

The amount of free SO₂ will be:

= Required \ level -Initial \ concentration

= 63-22

= 41 \ ppm

The amount of free SO₂ to be added will be:

= 41\times 225

= 9225 \ mg

∵ 1000 mg = 1 g

So,

= 9225\times \frac{1}{1000}

= 9.225

Thus,

"9.225 g" should be added.

What causes water to become denser when it is carried to the poles by surface currents? increased temperature and increased sali
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The answer is decreased temperature and increased salinity

Explanation:

It is what is known as the thermohaline circulation

The thermohaline circulation moves the water slowly. This water moves mainly due to differences in its relative density. Much denser water sinks over water that is less dense. Two factors impact the density of seawater: temperature and salinity.

Cold water is denser than hot water:

-Water cools when it loses heat, it occurs at high latitudes.

-Water is heated when it receives energy from the sun, at low latitudes.

Saltier water is much denser than water that has less salt:

-Sea water becomes salty if the evaporation rate increases.

-Sea water becomes less salty if there is a water inlet over the sea.

Ben observes how quickly some dry wood is burning in a campfire. which term best relates to ben's observation?
Katyanochek1 [597]
I think this the the list of choices relating to the above question.
reaction rate 
<span>activation energy </span>
<span>collision theory </span>
<span>spontaneous reaction
</span>
The term that best relate to ben's observation is REACTION RATE.

Reaction rate is defined as the speed at which the chemical reaction proceeds. It either is the amount of concentration of a product in a given unit of time or the concentration of the reactant that is being consumed in a unit of time.

How does the volume of water change the solubility of sodium chloride in simple words?
kupik [55]

Answer:

When sodium chloride dissolves in water to make a saturated solution there is a 2.5 per cent reduction in volume. ... The solubility of salt does not change much with temperature, so there is little profit in using hot water.
