Answer: C3 H6 Cl3

Explanation:

Molecular formula = (Empirical formula)n

where n= num of moles

Then, let's calculate empirical formula

The molecule consists of Carbon (24.2%), Hydrogen (4.0%) and Chlorine (??)

The abundance of Chlorine is = 100% - ( 24.2% + 4.0%)  

                                                  = 100% - 28.4%

                                                  = 71.8%

Therefore, we have, Carbon 24.2%, Hydrogen 4.0% and Chlorine 71.8%

                                                             C                   H                Cl

                                                          24.2                4.0              71.8

divide each by mass its num             12                    1                 35.5

                                                             2                    4                 2

Divide through by the smallest          2                     2                 2

(i.e. 2)                                                    1                      2                  1

Therefore, the empirical formula= CH2Cl

Molecular formular =  (CH2Cl)n

But n = ??

         (CH2Cl)n = 150;                                C=12, H=1, Cl=35.5

          (12 + (2 x 1) + 35.5 )n = 150

           (49.5)n = 150

            n=3

Therefore, Molecular fromula = (CH2Cl)3

                                             = C3 H6 Cl3

Answer:

C3 H6 Cl 3

Explanation:

C -24.2%

H -  4.0%

Cl - (100-24.2 - 4.0)=73.8 %

We can take 100g of the substance, then we have

C -24.2 g

H -  4.0 g

Cl - 73.8 g

Find the moles of these elements

C -24.2 g/12.0 g/mol =2.0 mol

H -  4.0 g/1.0 g/mol = 4. 0 mol

Cl - 73.8 g/ 35.5 g/mol = 2.1 mol

Ratio of these elements gives simplest formula of the substance

C : H : Cl = 2 : 4 : 2 = 1 : 2 : 1

CH2Cl

Molar mass (CH2Cl) = 1*12.0 +2*1.0 + 1*35.5 = 49.5 g/mol

Real molar mass = 150  g/mol

real molar mass/ Molar mass (CH2Cl) = 150 /49.5=3

So, Real formula should be C3 H6 Cl 3.

Graph of the relationship between mass and thermal energy
elixir [45]

<em>Thermal energy</em> is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the particles in an object.

Assume that you have 250 gL of water and 1 kg of water at the same temperature.

Then, each water molecule has the same kinetic energy.

The larger sample contains four times as many molecules, so it contains four times as much thermal energy.

Thus, thermal energy is directly proportional to mass.

In symbols, <em>KE </em>∝ <em>m</em> or <em>KE = km</em>.

The graph of a direct proportion is a <em>straight line passing trough the origin</em>.

It should look something like the graph below.
