Answer:

C₂H₆

Explanation:

To obtain molecular formula of the gas, you need to find first its molecular mass.

To find molecular mass you need to obtain moles of gasbecause molecular mass is the ratio between mass of the gas and the volume it occupies.

As at STP, 1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4dm³, 1dm³ of gas are:

1dm³ × (1mol / 22.4dm³) = 004464moles.

Its molecular mass is:

1.35g / 004464moles =

30.24g/mol

Now, if the gas is 80%C and 20%H, its <em>empirical formula (Simplest ratio of atoms in a molecule) </em>is:

80% Carbon × (1mol / 12.01g) = 6.66moles C

20% Hydrogen × (1mol / 1.01g) = 19.8moles H

Ratio of H:C is:

19.8 mol H / 6.66mol C = 3

Thus, you can know you will have 3 moles of Hydrogen per mole of Carbon, CH₃ (It weighs 15.04g/mol)

As the gas weighs 30.24 ≈ 2 CH₃

The molecular formula is:

<h3>C₂H₆</h3>

Answer: C) a redox reaction that produces an electric current

Explanation:

Chemical cell is a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produced in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. The cell consists of the negative terminal called as anode where oxidation takes place and a positive terminal called as cathode where reduction takes place.

Electrolytic cell is a device which is used to carry out chemical reactions by the use of electrical energy. The cell consists of the negative terminal called as cathode where reduction takes place and a positive terminal called as anode where oxidation takes place.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Vestigial Structures

Explanation:

Structures that were needed for an organism's ancestor, but no longer required for survival for the current organism. We needed our wisdom teeth and appendix in order to eat tougher foods, but now we do not need those to survive. But, we still have them.
