CH₇ is the empirical formula of the car fuel.

Explanation:

To find the empirical formula we use the following algorithm.

First divide each mass the the molar weight of each element:

for carbon 2.87 / 12 = 0.239

for hydrogen 3.41 / 2 = 1.705

And now divide each quantity by the lowest number which is 0.239:

for carbon 0.239 / 0.239 = 1

for hydrogen 1.705 / 0.239 = 7.13 ≈ 7

The empirical formula of the car fuel is CH₇.

I have to tell you that in reality this formula is wrong because is not possible to exist. However the algorithm for finding the empirical formula is right, the problem may reside in the amounts of carbon and hydrogen given.

Explain the process of fermentation.
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Fermentation, chemical process by which molecules such as glucose are broken down anaerobically. More broadly, fermentation is the foaming that occurs during the manufacture of wine and beer, a process at least 10,000 years old. The frothing results from the evolution of carbon dioxide gas, though this was not recognized until the 17th century.

An element forms an oxide, E₂O₃, and a fluoride, EF₃.(a) Of which two groups might E be a member?
Fittoniya [83]

a) The E might belong to group 13.

As the formula of a chemical compound is derived by the cross multiplication of the valency of the atoms. As formula of the given oxide is  and valency of O atom is -2, therefore valency of element E must be +3 in order to obtain E2O3.

Also, in EF3, the valency of E will be +3 because there are three atoms of fluorine who has an individual valency of -1. Thus, e will have the valency of +3.

The Group 13 is the boron group which has the following elements:

  • Boron
  • Aluminium
  • Gallium
  • Indium
  • Thallium

All these elements have the valency of +3.
