 <span>First - you need the empirical formula. 

So, assume you have 100 g of the compound. 

If so, you'll have 54.53 gram of C, 9.15 g of H and 36.32 g of O. Find the number of moles of each. 

54.53 g C (1 mole C / 12.01 g C) = 4.540 

9.15 g H (1 mole H / 1.008 g H) = 9.077 

36.32 g O (1 mole O / 15.9994 g O) = 2.270 

Take the smallest number found and divide the others by it to get the empirical formula. 

4.540/2.270 = 2. 
9.077/2.270 = 4. 
2.270/2.270 =1. 

So, that gives you the empirical formula of C2H4O. 

Find the weight of this compound. C = 12, H = 1, O = 16. So, C2H4O is 44 amu. 

132/44 = 3. 

So, 3 (C2 H4 O) = C6H12O3 = molecular formula.</span>

In order to design an experiment, you need a ____ about the scientific question you are trying to answer. A. decision B. procedu
kolbaska11 [484]

The correct answer is option C, that is, hypothesis.  

The hypothesis is the starting building block in the scientific method. It is also illustrated as an educated guess, based on previous observation and knowledge. A hypothesis refers to a recommended solution for an unexplained event, which does not fit into the present accepted scientific theory.  

The fundamental concept of a hypothesis is that there is no pre-determined result. For a hypothesis to be considered as scientific hypothesis, it has to be something, which can be refuted or supported via carefully crafted observation or experimentation.

The pressure is recorded as 738 mmHg.Convert this measurement to atmosphere (atm)
garri49 [273]
As we know that 760 mmHg is equal to 1 atm.

So,
If 760 mmHg is equal to   =   1 atm
Then
738 mmHg will be equal to   =   X atm

Solving for X,
                                X   =   (738 mmHg × 1 atm) ÷ 760 mmHg

                                X   =   0.971 atm

Result:
           738 mmHg
is equal to 0.971 atm.

The number of moles in 2.93 g of Li2O in corrext sig figs​
jekas [21]

Answer:

0.1 mol

Explanation:

Number of mole= mass/molar mass

lithium have a mass number of 7 and oxygen have a mass number of 16.

so, (7x2) + 16

= 30

therefore, number of moles = 2.93/30

= 0.10
