I believe the answer is they are both using the scientific method
Step 1:
Divide mass of each element with its M.mass in order to find out moles.
C = 63.2 g / 12 g/mol = Moles = 5.26 moles
H = 5.26 g / 1.008 g/mol = Moles = 5.21 moles
C = 41.6 g / 16 g/mol = Moles = 2.6 moles
Step 2:
Select moles of the element with least value and divide all moles of element by it,
C H O
5.26/2.6 : 5.21/2.6 : 2.6/2.6
2.02 : 2.00 : 1
Result:
Empirical Formula = C₂H₂O
In a solid state, the molecules have the least amount of energy. They just stick close together and vibrate in place. As the molecules gain more energy, they are able to move around more freely. In the liquid state, the molecules have enough energy to sort of tumble over each other.
Answer:
In addition to aluminium, the main materials in duralumin are copper, manganese and magnesium.
