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

Can you use volume to measure out a mole of a gas? Why or why not?
Rashid [163]

The volume of a gas is defined by the volume of its container.  

However, given the number of moles, and standard temperature and pressure, you can use the Ideal Gas Law to calculate the volume.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer: The results of Rutherford's gold foil experiment gave him the evidence to arrive at two conclusions: (1) an atom was much more than just empty space and scattered electrons and (2) an atom consists of a positive charge at the center where most of its mass is placed.

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford performed an experiment in which he passed alpha particles through a thin gold foil sheet. Through this sheet some of the particles passed on to the other side but some of them were reflected back.

This experiment was done by Rutherford to prove than an atom contains a tiny and heavy nucleus. He concluded that an atom has more than empty space and electrons were present in scattered form.

Also, he concluded that an atom consists of a positive charge at the center where most of its mass is placed.

Thus, we can conclude that the results of Rutherford's gold foil experiment gave him the evidence to arrive at two conclusions: (1) an atom was much more than just empty space and scattered electrons and (2) an atom consists of a positive charge at the center where most of its mass is placed.

One success of Johann Döbereiner's law of triads was that it organized most of the known elements into three-element groups base
jenyasd209 [6]
That statement is true

it was easy to organize 'all' the elements in a group of threes because back then they only knew about 15 - 20 elements

hope this helps

PLEASE ANSWER “Tessa uses a toy slingshot to launch a tennis ball across the park for her dog to fetch. For her first launch, sh
Inessa05 [86]

The third launch ( with 300 N force) had  the greatest acceleration of the tennis ball

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Newton's 2nd law explains that the acceleration produced by the resultant force on an object is proportional and in line with the resultant force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object  

∑F = m. a  

\large{\boxed{\bold{a=\frac{\sum F}{m}}}

F = force, N  

m = mass = kg  

a = acceleration due to gravity, m / s²  

From the above equation it has been shown that the force acting on the object is directly proportional to its acceleration, so <em>the greater the force exerted on the object, the greater the acceleration of the object produced.</em>

What is the mole, and why is it useful in chemistry?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:The mole is important because it allows chemists to work with the subatomic world with macro world units and amounts. Atoms, molecules and formula units are very small and very difficult to work with usually. However, the mole allows a chemist to work with amounts large enough to use.
