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>

Atoms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.  

On left side of periodic table atoms of metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons or we can say metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons so their reactivity increase down the group because of easily  removal of electrons.

On right side of periodic table atoms of nonmetals are more reactive by gaining the electrons. As we move down the group nuclear attraction becomes smaller because of shielding thus electron are less attracted by nucleus and reactivity decreases.

After observing (you can repeat the process more than once), write a general statement explaining how reducing the volume change
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The correct answer is that both molecular motion, pressure and temperature increase as volume reduces.

Explanation:

A reduction in volume changes the molecular motion, temperature and pressure of the system. When the volume of the container decreases, this causes the pressure to increase, the temperature to increase and the molecular motion to increase. This is because a liquid and a solid are incompressible, so by reducing the volume of a gas, the molecules increase their movement as the temperature of the system increases, which is due to the increased pressure applied to reduce the volume of the system.

Explain how the symbols of the elements were devised?
Ronch [10]

Answer: The chemical elements are made of atoms. Half of Dalton's symbols used letters inside a circle to represent the elements. Berzelius organized 47 elements with letters alone, and he based those letters not primarily on the English names, but on the Latin ones. Also Most of them have their first-second letter on them
