Explanation:
A heterogeneous mixture has particles that are not uniformly distributed, but a homogeneous mixture has particles that are uniformly distributed.
Answer:
- <em>Option d. Its empirical formula is CH</em><em>₂</em><em>.</em>
Explanation:
The percent composition of the compound allow you to calculate the empirical formula of the compound but is not enough to calculate either the molar mass or the molecular formula. So, since now you can discard options b. and c.
Telling that it is a hydrocarbon (option e.) is true but very vague compared with finding the empirical formula. So, you can also discard the option e.
The fact that the product has a triple bond cannot be concluded from the percent composition, you should find the molecular formula to assert whether it contains or not a triple bond. So, you could discard option a., which lets you only with choice d.
Let us find the empirical formula to be certain that it is CH₂.
1. <u>First, assume a basis of 100 g of compound</u>:
- H: 14.5% × 100 g = 14.0 g
- C: 85.5% × 100 g = 85.5 g
2. <u>Divide each element by its atomic mass to find number of moles</u>:
- H: 14.0 g / 1.008 g/mol = 14.38 mol
- C: 85.5 g / 12.011 g/mol = 7.12 mol
3. <u>Divide both amounts by the smallest number, to find the mole ratio</u>:
- H: 14.38 mol / 7.12 mol ≈ 2
- C: 7.12 mol / 7.12 mol = 1.
Hence, the ratio is 2:1 and the empirical formula is CH₂.
The empirical formula : C₂Cl₇
The molecular formula : C₁₀Cl₃₅

Given
8.81 g Carbon
91.2 g Chlorine
Molar Mass: 1362.5 g/mol
Required
The empirical formula and molecular formula
Solution
Mol ratio :
C = 8.81 g : 12.011 g/mol =0.733
Cl = 91.2 g : 35,453 g/mol = 2..572
Divide by 0.733
C : Cl = 1 : 3.5 = 2 : 7
The empirical formula : C₂Cl₇
(The empirical formula)n = the molecular formula
(C₂Cl₇)n = 1362.5
(2x12.011+7x35.453)n=1362.5
(272.193)n=1362.5
n = 5

Calcium chloride forms an ionic compound with a
regularly arranged lattice of oppositely charged ions.
The Na+ and Cl- ions are held together by
strong electrostatic forces.
