Gasoline would be a mixture if I recalled
Answer: 17) d. 
18. c. The empirical formula of a compound can be twice the molecular formula.
Explanation:
Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
To calculate the molecular formula, we need to find the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.
The equation used to calculate the valency is:

The empirical mass can be calculated from empirical formula and molar mass must be known.
17. Thus the empirical formula of
should be 
18. The molecular formula will either be same as empirical formula or is a whole number multiple of empirical formula. Thus the empirical formula of a compound can never be twice the molecular formula.
Answer:

Explanation:
The number of valence electrons tells us the group number of the neutral atom.
The atom has 4 valence electrons.
The atom is in group 4.
Elements were grouped on their properties and behaviors, so hydrogen resides with the alkali metals in group 1 (1A) because it has only 1 valence electron, like the metals in that group.
Answer : The mass of nitric acid is, 214.234 grams.
Solution : Given,
Moles of nitric acid = 3.4 moles
Molar mass of nitric acid = 63.01 g/mole
Formula used :

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the mass of nitric acid.

Therefore, the mass of nitric acid is, 214.234 grams.
