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.

Answer:

Single replacement reaction (aka single displacement reaction)

Explanation:

In a single replacement reaction, one element is substituted for another in a compound to create a new compound and a new element in the products. The general form is:

A + BC --> B + AC

In the case of this question, Cr and Fe "trade places."

The heavy one because mass times force is equal to speed. The lighter one has less mass to it goes faster without as much effort. I hope that helps!
