Answer : The empirical formula for C_2H_4(OH)_2 is, CH_2(OH)

Explanation :

Empirical formula : It is the simplest form of the chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Molecular formula : it is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

For determining the empirical formula, we need to determine the least whole number and then divide the whole number by the least whole number.

The given molecular formula is, C_2H_4(OH)_2

In this the least whole number is, 2

So, the empirical formula will be, C_{\frac{2}{2}}H_{\frac{4}{2}}(OH)_{\frac{2}{2}}=C_1H_2(OH)_1

Hence, the empirical formula for C_2H_4(OH)_2 is, CH_2(OH)

What type of reaction produces a precipitate?
Pavlova-9 [17]
The correct answer is C.

Most of the time, double replacements produce one product that is soluble and one that is insoluble

This results in a precipitate within a liquid or aqueous solution

Hope this helps

True or False When one side of a molecule is electronegative (δ-) and the other side of the
lesya [120]

Answer:

True; When one side of a molecule is electronegative (δ-) and the other side of the

molecule is electropositive (δ+), it is said to have a dipole moment.

Explanation:

A dipole moment exists in a molecule as a result of differences in the electronegativity values between the atoms of the elements involved in the chemical bonding.

When a strogly electronegative atom such as oxygen or chlorine is chemically bonded to a less electronegative or an electropositive atom such as hydrogen, there is an uneven sharing of the electrons involved in the bonding. The more electronegative atoms tends to draw the shared electrons mostly to themselves. This induces a partially negative charge (δ-) on them while leaving the electropositive atoms with a partially positive charge (δ+).

Water is an example of a molecule having a dipole moment. The oxygen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen and as such draw the shared electrons to themselves more, inducing a partial positive charge (δ+) on the hydrogen atoms while they themselves develop a partial negative charge (δ-).
