<span>The value of enthalpy of a reaction can be a useful tool in determining the type of reaction it is. If the enthalpy is negative the reaction is exothermic and if the enthalpy is positive the reaction is endothermic. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

A compound with a molar mass of 60g/mol is 40.4% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.3% oxygen (by mass). determine the emperical and m

<span>A compound is found to be 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.5% oxygen. Its molecular mass is 60. g/mol. 
</span>Q1)
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components making up a compound.
the percentages have been given, therefore we can calculate for 100 g of the compound.

                                C                            H                        O
Mass in 100 g      40.0 g                       6.7 g                   53.5 g
Molar mass            12 g/mol                1 g/mol                 16 g/mol
Number of moles   40.0/12= 3.33         6.7/1 = 6.7          53.5/16 = 3.34
Divide by the least number of moles  
                             3.33/3.33 = 1           6.7/3.33 = 2.01   3.34/3.33 = 1.00
after rounding off
C - 1 
H - 2
O - 1

Empirical formula - CH₂O

Q2)
Molecular formula is the actual number of components making up the compound.
To find the number of empirical units we have to find the mass of one empirical unit.
Mass of one empirical unit = CH₂O - 12 + (1x2) + 16 = 30 g
Mass of one mole of compound = 60 g
Number of empirical units = 60 g / 30 g = 2
Therefore molecular formula - 2(CH₂O) 
 Molecular formula - C₂H₄O₂

False, the radiation from food and medical procedures have very little consequences. The radiation from a nuclear power plant can kill people which makes it a very large problem if not contained properly.
