Basis of the calculation: 100g
For Carbon:
Mass of carbon = (100 g)(0.80) = 80 g
Number of moles of carbon = (80 g)(1 mole / 12g) = 20/3
For Hydrogen:
Mass of hydrogen = (100 g)(0.20) = 20 g
Number of moles of hydrogen = (20 g)(1 mole / 1 g) = 20
Translating the answer to the formula of the substance,
C20/3H20
Dividing the answer,
CH3
The molar mass of the empirical formula is:
12 + 3 = 15 g/mol
Since, the molar mass given for the molecular formula is 30.069 g/mol, the molecular equation is,
C2H6
ANSWER: C2H6
The correct answer would be D: Physical properties can be observed without changing the identity of a substance
Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Atomic number of lithium is 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1. So, to attain stability it will loose an electron and hence, it forms a single bond.
Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and it has 7 valence electrons. Hence, in order to attain stability it will gain one electron and therefore, it forms a single bond only.
Atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and its electronic distribution is 2, 5. Therefore, to attain stability it needs to gain 3 more electrons. Hence, a nitrogen atom is able to form a triple bond and also it is able to form a double bond.
Hydrogen has atomic number 1 and it attains stability by gaining one electron. Therefore, a hydrogen atoms always forms a single bond.
Atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7. To complete its octet it needs to gain one electron. Hence, a fluorine atom always forms a single bond.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options nitrogen is most likely to form multiple (double or triple) bonds.
