The molecular formula of organic solvent is <em>C6H12</em>
<h2>calculation</h2><h3>find the empirical formula first as in step 1 and 2</h3>
Step 1: f<em>ind the moles of C and H</em>
- moles = % composition/molar mass
- from periodic table molar mass of C= 12 g/mol while that of H= 1 g/mol
- moles is C is therefore = 85.6/12= 7. 13 moles
- moles of H= 14.4/1 - 14.4 moles
Step 2: <em>calculate the mole fraction by dividing each mole by smallest number of mole(7.13)</em>
H= 14.4/7.13 =2
the empirical formula is therefore = CH2
<h2>Then calculate the molecular formula from empirical formula</h2>
step 3: divide the grams molar mass by empirical formula mass
empirical formula mass = 12+(1 x2) = 14 g/mol
= 84.2/ 14 = 6
step 4: multiply each of the subscript within the empirical formula with the value gotten in step 3
- that is [CH2]6 = C6H12 therefore the molecular formula = <u>C6H12</u>
Answer:
D. because water and mud behaved in a similar way in the past as they do today
Explanation:
One of the fundamental theories in the field of earth science is the theory of uniformitarianism.
Uniformitarianism was proposed by James Hutton in the 18th century in Scotland. The theory states that "geologic processes occurring today have occurred in times past and that the present is the key to past".
The simple meaning of the theory is that, the processes on earth today such as weathering, erosion, e.t.c have also occurred in times past. Those processes still occur today and an understanding of such events today will help us have a better insight into the past.
Therefore, ripple marks just as they form today from action of mud and water would be formed in a similar way in the past.
