Answer:

the empirical formula gives the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in the compound. Molecular formula gives the actual composition of elements in the compound.

Explanation:

empirical formula - CH₂O

Mass of one empirical unit = 12 + (1x2) + 16 = 30 a.m.u

We have to next calculate how many empirical units make up the molecular formula. For that we have to divide molecular mass by mass of one empirical unit.

Number of empirical units = 180 a.m.u / 30 = 6

There are 6 empirical units 

Therefore molecular formula = 6 x(CH₂O) = C₆H₁₂O₆

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

What portion of your salt solution in ice water system is: a. A mixture? b. A solution?
ahrayia [7]

The salt and water are a homogeneous mixture but when salt dissolves in the water system is called a solution of salt and water.

<h3>What is a mixture? </h3>

A mixture is defined as the combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded together.

There are two types of mixture which include:

  • Homogeneous (uniform composition) and

  • Heterogeneous mixtures

When salt is added to the ice water system, it lowers the freezing point of the ice water thereby forming a homogenous mixture of water and salt.

The dissolution of salt in ice water leads to the formation of salt and water solution.

List the protons, neutrons, and electrons for Ge2+<br> Please hurry
Nady [450]

Answer:

32, 30 and 41

Explanation:

The problem here is to find the number of:

    Protons, neutrons and electrons in Ge²⁺

In this ion,

   We must understand that for a net positive charge to remain on an atom, the number of protons must be greater than the number of electrons.

Ge is Germanium with atomic number of 32;

So the number of protons is 32

Since the atom has lost two electrons;

  Number of electrons now is 32  - 2 = 30

Number of neutrons is 41 from the periodic table.

Bubbles in soda rise to the surface. Explain this in terms of density.
algol [13]

Answer:

Bubbles are comprised of gases, which have a lesser density than water. Since they are less dense, they get pushed up to the surface, and they rise, lighter than the liquid around them. This is just like helium in air; helium is lighter than air, so it rises, pushed to the top by the pressure around it.
