The compound's molecular formula is C2H6. This is obtained by:
  
            mass             moles               divided by smallest moles
C          32g         32/12 = 2.67                                 1
H           8g           8/1.01 = 7.92                        approx. 3

Next, divide both terms by the smallest number of moles, 2.67. This gives 1 and 3. So the empirical formula is CH3 which has a molar mass of 15g/mol. Given the molar mass of the molecular formula as 30g/mole, we can calculate the factor by which to multiply the subscripts of CH3.

X = molar mass of molecular formula / molar mass of empirical formula = 30/15
X=2

So (CH3)2 is C2H6.

"Two major varieties of igneous rock are _______ and ________. What is the difference between these two types of igneous rock?"
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Intrusive and Extrusive igneous rocks.

Explanation:

Igneous rocks are defined as those rocks that are formed when magma undergoes the process of crystallization and solidification at or below the earth's surface. For example, Granite, Rhyolite, Gabbro and Diorite.

The igneous rocks are of two different types, namely-

  • Intrusive igneous rocks- This type of igneous rocks are formed when the magma crystallizes below or within the earth's crust. For example, Granite.
  • Extrusive igneous rocks- This type of igneous rocks are formed when the magma crystallizes and solidifies at the surface of the earth. For example, Basalt.
