<span>In order to do that, we first have to calculate the "molar mass" of empirical unit

12+2*1+16 = 30

so 90/30 = 3

so you have 3*(CH2O) --> C3H6O3

hope this helps</span>

The empirical formula of a compound is determined to be CH2O, and its molecular mass is found to be 90.087 g/mol. Determine the molecular formula of the compound, showing your solution.

Answer: This is actually quite simple, first we have to calculate the molar mass of empirical unit. Therefore we have 12+2*1+16 = 30. Then we solve 90/30 = 3. Finally we end up with 3*(CH2O) --> C3H6O3.

I hope it helps, Regards.

How are hypotheses different from theories?
juin [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is the Difference Between a Hypothesis and a Theory. In scientific reasoning, a hypothesis is an assumption made before any research has been completed for the sake of testing. A theory on the other hand is a principle set to explain phenomena already supported by data.

which of these species is most likely to be a lewis acid and is also least likely to be a bronsted acid
pochemuha

Answer:

This question is incomplete but the completed question is below

Which Of These Species Is Most Likely To Be A Lewis Acid And Is Also Least Likely To Be A Brønsted Acid? (A) NH4⁺ (B) BF₃ (C) H₂O (D) OH⁻

The correct option is B

Explanation:

A lewis acid is a substance that accepts (or is capable of accepting) a pair of electrons. For example BF₃, while a lewis base is a substance that donates (or is capable of donating) a pair of electrons. For example OH⁻.

If we take a look at the boron (B) in BF₃, it has 3 electrons on it's outermost shell, each of which are bonded to flourine and can still accept a pair of electrons (lone pair). <u>This makes it very likely to be a lewis acid</u>.

Bronsted lowry acid is a substance that donates or can donate a proton or H⁺ (for example HCl) while bronsted lowry base is a substance that accepts or can accept a proton or H⁺ (for example NH₃).

<u>BF₃ cannot donate a proton or H⁺ hence it is least likely to be called a bronsted acid.</u>

nika2105 [10]

1. Double replacement (DR)

2. Decomposition (D)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

1. Al2(SO4)3 + Ca3(PO4)2 -> 2AIPO4 + 3CaSO4

Double replacement (DR) : there is an ion exchange between two ion compounds in the reactant to form two new ion compounds in the product

General form :

AB + CD -> AD + CB

2.  2NaCIO3 → 2NaCl + 3O2

Decomposition (D) : Reactant breakdown into simpler ones(reverse of combination)

General form :

AB ---> A + B
