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.

a block of wood has a density of 0.95 g/cm3. will it float or sink when placed on a liquid with a density of 0.88 g/mL? explain
vesna_86 [32]
Since 1mL=1cm^3 the wood would sink due to it being more dense. I.e. 0.95>0.88

Two different atoms have four protons each and the same mass. However, one has a positive charge while the other is neutral. Des
seraphim [82]

The possible number and location of all subatomic are one of them is electrically neutral, while the other has a stable electronic configuration.

<h3>What are subatomic particles?</h3>

Subatomic particles are those particles that are present inside the atoms. They are electron, neutron, and proton. They are charged particles, protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral.

The protons and electrons totally contribute to the atomic mass of the elements.

Thus, the subatomic particles are electrically neutral and stable to electronic configurations.

♔♔Can water stay liquid below zero degrees Celsius?✞♡♡♡​
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Yes, water can stay liquid below zero degrees Celsius. There are a few ways in which this can happen. The freezing point of water drops below zero degrees Celsius as you apply pressure. When we apply pressure to a liquid, we force the molecules to get closer together.

Explanation:

Hope this helps you. Have a nice day.^_^

Please mark as brainliest. It helps a lot:)
