Helium is a nonmetal. There are several reasons for this, it is unable to donate electrons and It has an extremely low melting point.
Answer: 3 Changes can occur to physical properties of a substance, but the chemical composition of the substance remains the same
Explanation:
Physical change mainly physical properties of a substance while the chemical changes remain unchanged. Once there is a change to the chemistry of the substance, this would be classified as a chemical change.
A fracture Formation .
A matter is neither destroyed or created
To find the empirical formula you would first need to find the moles of each element:
58.8g/ 12.0g = 4.9 mol C
9.9g/ 1.0g = 9.9 mol H
31.4g/ 16.0g = 1.96 O
Then you divide by the smallest number of moles of each:
4.9/1.96 = 2.5
9.9/1.96 = 6
1.96/1.96 = 1
Since there is 2.5, you find the least number that makes each moles a whole number which is 2.
So the empirical formula is C5H12O2.
