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.

What is the molecular formula of compound x?
givi [52]
Since there is one carbon with 4 Fluorines attached to it, and both compounds are no metals, we use the covalent method for naming,

Here we ignore the prefix for the first element if it is 1. Mono. Then pay attention to the second one, it would be tetra, because tetra means 4. Here there are 4 fluorines.

Question 3 of 5
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

A. More mass

C. Shorter distance between them

Explanation:

The two characteristics of a body experiencing greater gravitational force are that they have mass and a shorter distance between them.

This is conformity with Newton's law of universal gravitation.

The law states that "every object attracts one another with a force that is directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them".

This law implies that the more the mass of two bodies, the more the gravitational force of attraction. And that the shorter the square of the distance between them, the more the attraction.
