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

Why is knowing the density of water important to us? Give a reasonable answer
Ahat [919]
Measuring density is very important for many different industries because the density measurement will help determine the characteristics of a material, for example, whether the material will float or sink. Knowing the density of a material helps in determining the mass and volume of a material, all of which are extremely important measurements in all industries.

NemiM [27]

Explanation:

#Medicine

Compounds used as medicines are most often organic compounds, which are often divided into the broad classes of small organic molecules (e.g., atorvastatin, fluticasone, clopidogrel) and "biologics" (infliximab, erythropoietin, insulin glargine),

#Industry

Polymers and plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene and polycarbonate
