An object floats if it has low density or has less mass per unit volume. So, Icefloats on water because ICE is lessdenser than WATER. Most of the substances are more dense in their solid state, but water is different. This peculiarity is on account of the structure of ice.
I really hope this helped!!!! ❤
Answer is: empirical formula for compound is C₂H₆O.
m(CO₂) = 1,6003 g.
n(CO₂) = m(CO₂) ÷ M(CO₂).
n(CO₂) = 1,6003 g ÷ 44 g/mol.
n(CO₂) = 0,0364 mol.
n(CO₂) = n(C).
m(C) = 0,0364 mol · 12 g/mol = 0,4368 g.
m(H₂O) = 0,9827 g.
n(H₂O) = 0,9827 g ÷ 18 g/mol.
n(H₂O) = 0,0546 mol.
n(H) = 2 · n(H₂O) = 0,1092 mol.
m(H) = 0,1092 mol · 1 g/mol = 0,1092 g.
m(O) = 0,8376 g - 0,4368 g - 0,1092 g = 0,2916 g.
n(O) = 0,2916 g ÷ 16 g/mol = 0,0182 mol.
n(C) : n(H) : n(O) = 0,0364 mol : 0,1092 mol : 0,0182 mol.
n(C) : n(H) : n(O) = 2 : 6 : 1.
The Lewis structure of Carbonic Acid (H₂CO₃) is given below. In structure it is shown that carbon has a double bond with one oxygen atom and two single bonds with hydroxyl groups.
Formal Charge; Formal charge is caculated as,
Formal charge = # of valence e⁻ - [# of lone pair of e⁻ + 1/2 # of bonded e⁻]
Formal charge on Carbon;Formal charge = 4 - [ 0 + 8/2]
Formal charge = 4 - [4]
Formal charge = Zero
