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

The thin outer layer of Earth, called the crust, contains only 0.50 percent of Earth's total mass and yet is the source of almos
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The mass of silicon in kilograms in Earth's crust is7.2729\times 10^{21} kg.

Explanation:

Mass of Earth =5.9\times 10^{21} tons

(1 ton= 2000 lb)

(1 lb =453.6 g)

1 ton = 2000 × 453.6 g =907,200 g

Mass of Earth =5.9\times 10^{21}\times 907,200 g=5.3524\times 10^{27} g

Percentage of earth crust = 0.50%

Mass of earth crust = M

0.50\%=\frac{M}{5.3524\times 10^{27}}\times 100

M=2.6762\times 10^{25} g

Percentage of the silicon in Earth's crust = 27.2 %

Mass of silicon in in Earth's crust = m

Si\%=\frac{m}{M}\times 100

27.2\%=\frac{m}{2.6762\times 10^{25} g}\times 100

m = 7.2792\times 10^{24} g=7.2729\times 10^{21} kg

1000 g = 1 kg

The mass of silicon in kilograms in Earth's crust is7.2729\times 10^{21} kg.

Give two examples in your everyday experience where diffusion occurs. Can you think of a situation of where this might be harmfu
Vesnalui [34]
The first example of diffusion is smoking a cigarette when u light it it spreads through the air. 
The second example is lighting a candle in a room it the smoke spreads through the air. 
Smoke can be very bad for the air and the people around because it can cause many problems with your breathing.

Answer:

Harmony is correct, because Mendeleev’s model made predictions that came true.

Explanation:

Mendeleev published periodic table.

Mendeleev also arranged the elements known at the time in order of relative atomic mass, but he did some other things that made his table much more successful.

Our answer is : Harmony is correct, because Mendeleev’s model made predictions that came true.
