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.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

T final = 80°C

Explanation:

  • Q = mCpΔT

∴ Q = 18000 cal

∴ m H2O = 300 g

∴ Cp H2O (15°C) = 0.99795 cal/g.K ≅ 1 cal/g.K

∴ T1 = 20°C = 293 K

∴ T2 = ?

⇒ 18000 cal = (300 g)(1 cal/g.K)(T2 - 293 K)

⇒ (18000 cal)/(300 cal/K) = T2 - 293 K

⇒ T2 = 293 K + 60 K

⇒ T2 = 353 K (80°C)

What are diatomic molecules and are they compounds? PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Diatomic molecules consist of two atoms that are chemically bonded. The two atoms can be the same or different chemical elements. As for whether or not they are compounds, there is not technically an answer. This is because all compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds. For example diatomic molecules that comprise the chemical compounds nitric acid, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen chloride are made up of two different elements.  As you can see, most diatomic molecules are not made up of the same kind of elements and not every diatomic molecule comprises a chemical compound.

hope this helps :)
