The molecular  formula of   organic solvent  is    <em>C6H12</em>


<h2>calculation</h2><h3>find the empirical formula first as in step 1 and 2</h3>

Step 1: f<em>ind the moles of C and H</em>

  • moles =  % composition/molar mass
  •       from periodic table molar mass of C= 12 g/mol while that of H= 1 g/mol
  • moles is  C is therefore = 85.6/12=  7. 13 moles
  •  moles of H=  14.4/1 - 14.4 moles

  Step 2:  <em>calculate the mole  fraction  by dividing each mole by smallest number of mole(7.13)</em>

  • that is C= 7.13/7.13 = 1

         H=  14.4/7.13 =2

the empirical formula is therefore = CH2

<h2>Then calculate the molecular formula from empirical formula</h2>

step 3: divide the  grams molar mass  by empirical formula mass

               empirical formula mass =  12+(1 x2) = 14 g/mol

    = 84.2/ 14 = 6

step 4: multiply  each of the subscript  within the empirical  formula with the value gotten in step 3

  • that is  [CH2]6 = C6H12  therefore the molecular formula = <u>C6H12</u>

Most polyatomic ions will only contain
solniwko [45]

Explanation:

oxygen and are negatively charged anions because the oxygen atoms attract electrons. Ammonium is one of the few positively charged polyatomic ions or cations and doesn't contain oxygen.

Identity the step that is not part of the scientific method.
horrorfan [7]

Options:

conduct an experiment

form a hypothesis

draw a conclusion

state the cause

Answer:

'<u>State the cause'</u> is not part of the scientific method.

Explanation:

The scientific method has three wholistic steps:

  • Test the hypothesis
  • Make observations from the experiment to the hypothesis
  • Draw a conclusion or prediction from the experimental results.

A cause is neither a scientific term nor is it part of the  processes of experimentation.

I hope this was helpful.

During which change of state would the volume of a substance increase the most?
Alika [10]

Answer:

The most state has the high volume is the gas state.

So here the answer is vaporization!!!!

Explanation:

The most state has the high volume is the gas state.

So here the answer is between vaporization and sublimation???

and when the sublimation is: the change of the material from the solid state to the gas state directly without pass to liquid state from the solid first then to the gas

and the vaporization is : The change of the material from the liquid state to the gas state by heating Ex: water vaporize at 100°

here, the answer is sublimation because the difference of volume which resulted from this process is more than the volume resulted from vaporization.

Plz mark brainlist!!
