<u>Answer:</u>

<em>C_2 H_2 O \times 2=C_4 H_4 O_2 is the molecular formula </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Empirical formula is the simplest form of a Molecular formula.

For example  

Molecular formula of glucose is C_6 H_{12} O_6

Its empirical formula is C_1 H_2 O_1

The subscript numbers of the molecular formula is divided by a common number n=6 here.

Another example:

Molecular formula of Octane is C_8 H_{18} and Its empirical formula will be C_4 H_9  

Subscripts divided by n=2.

To find n we make use of the formula  

\frac {(molecular mass )}{(empirical formula mass)}=n

= \frac {84.0g}{(C_2H_2O mass)}\\\\=\frac {84.0g}{(24+2+16)g}=\frac {84.0g}{42g}=2

So, we see n=2 here

Empirical formula × n = molecular formula

C_2 H_2 O \times 2=C_4 H_4 O_2 is the molecular formula

(Answer)

<u></u>

<u>Please note: </u>

Molar mass is the mass of 1 mole of the substance and its unit is g/mol .

n is the number of moles by which the empirical formula is multiplied to get the molecular formula of the compound.

Answer:

=C₄H₄O₂

Explanation:

Given the empirical formula of a molecule, the he the quotient of the molecular mas and and the empirical mass=constant.

84.0 g/mol/mass of(C₂H₂O)=constant

=84/(12×2+1×2×16)

=84/42

=2

Therefore, the molecular formula is (C₂H₂O)₂=C₄H₄O₂

Why is the "coming up" list on the dashboard useful?​
kirill115 [55]
I'm teaching with Canvas. On my dashboard, under the Coming Up section, none of the assignments that are on the calendar (populated b/c they are "assignments") are displaying. The next one is due in 36 hours so I think it should display and it is listed on the calendar.

Liquid 1 has a density of 2.0 g/ml, Liquid 2
Natali5045456 [20]

Liquid 2 because the lower the density the more it floats and the higher the density the more it sinks. The order from top to bottom is liquid 2, liquid 3, liquid 1

How many parts per million of fluoride in a solution that is 500 grams of fluoride and 500,000 liters water
erik [133]

0.000001‬ppm

Explanation:

Mass of fluoride = 500g

Volume of water = 500000liters

Unknown:

Parts per million of fluoride = ?

Solution:

The parts per million is the amount of solute in milligram dissolved in a liter of water or milligram per kilogram of solvent

It is a unit used to express very small concentration.

 we need to convert g - mg

   500g = 500 x  10⁻³mg  = 0.5mg

   Concentration in parts per million = \frac{mass in mg}{Volume in liters}

Concentration in parts per million = \frac{0.5}{500000} = 0.000001‬ppm
