Molecular formula indicates the simple number of each type of atom in molecule with no information on structure. Chemical formula is a way of presenting information about the chemical propagation of atom that constitute a particular chemical compound or molecule, using chemical element symbols.

An alkanol contains 37.5 carbon
kow [346]

Answer:

Empirical formula is CH₄

Molecular formula = C₂H₈

Explanation:

Mass of carbon = 37.5 g

Mass of hydrogen = 12.5 g

Molecular weight = 32 g/mol

Molecular formula = ?

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of C = 37.5 g /12g/mol = 3.125

Number of gram atoms of H = 12.5 g / 1.008 g/mol= 12.4

Atomic ratio:

C                 :            H            

3.125/3.125   :       12.4 /3.125

    1                :            4          

C : H : = 1 : 4

Empirical formula is CH₄

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

n = 32  / 16

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 ( CH₄)

Molecular formula = C₂H₈

1)Define potential Energy.
Margarita [4]

1. Potential Energy is stored energy a object has when it's not moving.

2. Potential Energy is it's highest on the first stage because as you see the roller coaster is bout to go down the tract which is going to higher the kinetic energy and lower the potential energy.

3. Kinetic Energy is the amount of energy a object has when it's in motion or moving.

4. Kinetic Energy is it's highest in the third stage after it's gone down the tract and potential energy fully decreased and it's at zero.

Remember that potential energy is stored energy so when a object is not moving in this case the roller coaster isn't moving on the first stage when its bout to go down the roller coaster. Kinetic energy is the amount of energy a object has when it's in motion so in this case the third stage would have the highest example of Kinetic energy because it's fully in motion and has no potential energy.

What gas is released during cellular respiration?
alina1380 [7]
Carbon dioxide. <span>Cellular respiration is this process in which oxygen and glucose are used to create ATP, carbon dioxide, and water. ATP, carbon dioxide, and water are all products of this process because they are what is created. Carbon dioxide is released as a gas when you exhale.</span>
