your answer is c. two atoms of oxygen.
I have attached the answer. hopefully, i read the problems correctly. let me know if I did not.
both problems are an example of beta decays. when an atoms' atomic number is increased by one. this is symbolized with -1 e
Answer:
The gain in mass by the negative electrode is the same as the loss in mass by the positive electrode. So the copper deposited on the negative electrode must be the same copper ions that are lost from the positive electrode.
Answer:
In order to find the molecular formula from an empirical formula you must find the ratio of their molecular masses.
We know that the molecular mass of the molecule is 70
gmol-1
. We can calculate the molar mass of
CH2
from the periodic table:
C=12.01
gmol−1
H=1.01
gmol−1
CH2 =14.03
gmol−1
Hence we can find the ratio:
14.03
70
≈
0.2
