Answer:

THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA OF THE SUBSTANCE IS C2H5NO

Explanation:

The steps involved in calculating the empirical formula of this substance in shown in the table below:

Element                            Carbon           Hydrogen          Nitrogen         Oxygen

1. % Composition              40.66              8.53                 23.72                27.09

2. Mole ratio =

%mass/ atomic mass       40.66/12         8.53/1          23.72/14            27.09/16

                                       =  3.3883            8.53              1,6943             1.6931

3. Divide by smallest

value (0.6931)          3.3883/1.6931    8.53/1.6931    1.6943/1.6931   1.6931/1.6931

                               =      2.001                  5.038           1.0007                      1

4. Whole number ratio        2                       5                   1                               1

The empirical formula = C2H5NO

How are Ionic and Covalent Bonds are formed with examples ?
Helga [31]

Answer:Comparison of Ionic and Covalent Bonds

In an ionic bond, the atoms are bound together by the electrostatic forces in the attraction between ions of opposite charge. ... For example, sodium (Na), a metal, and chloride (Cl), a nonmetal, form an ionic bond to make NaCl. In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons.

What determines the atomic number of an atom?. . A.. the number of neutrons in two atoms of an element. . B.. the number of elec
WINSTONCH [101]
<span>The number of protons in every atom of an element determines the atomic number of an atom. Short after Rutherford made the gold foil experiment, the British scientist Henry Mosely discovered that the atoms of every element have a unique positive charge in their nuclei. This positive charge is the number of protons and is called atomic number. So, the atomic number identifies every different element.</span>
