Answer: 17) d. 
18. c. The empirical formula of a compound can be twice the molecular formula.
Explanation:
Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
To calculate the molecular formula, we need to find the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.
The equation used to calculate the valency is:

The empirical mass can be calculated from empirical formula and molar mass must be known.
17. Thus the empirical formula of
should be 
18. The molecular formula will either be same as empirical formula or is a whole number multiple of empirical formula. Thus the empirical formula of a compound can never be twice the molecular formula.
<span> 2C2H2(g) + 5O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
from the reaction 2 mol 4 mol
from the problem 5.4 mol 10.8 mol
M(CO2) = 12.0 +2*16.0 = 44.0 g/mol
10.8 mol CO2 * 44.0 g CO2/1 mol CO2 = 475.2 g CO2 </span>≈480 = 4.8 * 10² g
Answer is C. 4.8*10² g.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A solid is characterized by structural rigidity and resistance to a force applied to the surface. Unlike a liquid, a solid object does not flow to take on the shape of its container, nor does it expand to fill the entire available volume like a gas. Solids molecules stay close to eachother maintaining its shape meaning it is in a ordered pattern.
Answer:
Cl2
Explanation:
Cl2 is a covalent molecule because it contains 2 non-metal elements.
It is non-polar because both elements have the same level of electrostatic attraction (remember that electrostatic attraction is the tendency to steel an electron from an element with lower a lower electrostatic force)
In Cl2 since there are only 2 molecules that are the exact same there is no overall dipole (which means that one end of the molecule is slightly positive or negative charge)
If the molecule replaced one Cl or something else then it would be non-polar since one element will be more electrostatic than the other and one region of the molecule will have a slightly positive or negative charge, unless the molecule is symmetrical like CH4.
For CH4 (methane) if you drew this as a lewis structure the Carbon would be surrounded by 4 hydrogen atoms meaning the overall dipole will be cancelled out since the molecule is symmetrical.
You may not understand the last part but just know that:
If there are 2 of the same atoms in the molecule (Cl2) then it is non-polar
If there are 2 non-metals then the bond is covalent
Water is always polar
