Answer:

d. 97.60 g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of formaldehyde = 3.25moles

  Ratio:

                 C               H              O

                  1                2               1

Unknown:

Mass of this sample  = ?

Solution:

The empirical formula of a compound is its simplest formula. It is the simplest whole number ratio of the atoms in a given substance.

The molecular formula is the actual formula of the compound.

 Since the molecular and empirical formula are the same here, the formula of the compound is;

                   CH₂O

To find the mass of the formaldehyde, use the expression below;

        Mass  = number of moles x molar mass

             molar mass of CH₂O = 12 + 2(1) + 16  = 30g/mol

      Mass  = 3.25 x 30  = 97.5g

If water and hydrogen peroxide both consist of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, explain why they have different chemical and physical
lana [24]
Water and hydrogen peroxide are different compounds although they have the same kind of atoms. The molecular formula of water is H2O (two atoms of oxygen chemically bonded to one atom of oxygen). The molecular formula of hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, (each atom of oxygen is chemical bonded to one atom of H and other atom of O). So,<span> the presence of different chemical bonds leads to different products with different chemical properties.</span><span />

Which of the following elements is a metalloid​
vladimir1956 [14]

Traditionally they include boron from group 3A, silicon and germanium in group 4A, aresnic and antimony in group 5A and tellurium from group 6A, although sometimes selenium, astatine, polonium and even bismuth have also been considered as metalloids. Typically metalloids are brittle and show a semi-metallic luster.

The six commonly recognised metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. Five elements are less frequently so classified: carbon, aluminium, selenium, polonium, and astatine.
