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.

Nuclear power plants produce energy using fission. One common fuel, uranium-235, produces energy through the fission reaction 23
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

mass of U-235  = 15.9 g (3 sig. figures)

Explanation:

1 atom can produce -------------------------> 3.20 x 10^-11 J energy

x atoms can produce ----------------------> 1.30 x 10^12 J energy

x = 1.30 x 10^12 / 3.20 x 10^-11

x = 4.06 x 10^22 atoms

1 mol ----------------------> 6.023 x 10^23 atoms

y mol ----------------------> 4.06 x 10^22 atoms

y = 0.0675 moles

mass of U-235 = 0.0675 x 235 = 15.8625

mass of U-235  = 15.9 g (3 sig. figures)

When is the Sun directly overhead in the continental United States?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

The sun is directly overhead at noon on the equator on the first day of spring, and on the first day of fall. You would have to be less than 23.5 degrees above or below the equator to have the Sun pass directly overhead. Therefore, it never occurs in the continental US.

Based on the electromagnetic spectrum what is the relationship between wave length and frequency
MAVERICK [17]

The wavelength and frequency of light are closely related. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. ... The equation that relates wavelength and frequency for electromagnetic waves is: λν=c where λ is the wavelength, ν is the frequency and c is the speed of light.
