Answer:
Hi, this is a super vague question, so its pretty confusing to answer. Could you please be a bit more specific?
If you are referring to chemistry, then how you tell "what is what" is by the molecular makeup of an element (Periodic table), and "how that..affects what", chemical reactions can occur between elements
I always thought it was a mixture but can also be a compound
Answer:
d. 97.60 g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Number of moles of formaldehyde = 3.25moles
Ratio:
C H O
1 2 1
Unknown:
Mass of this sample = ?
Solution:
The empirical formula of a compound is its simplest formula. It is the simplest whole number ratio of the atoms in a given substance.
The molecular formula is the actual formula of the compound.
Since the molecular and empirical formula are the same here, the formula of the compound is;
CH₂O
To find the mass of the formaldehyde, use the expression below;
Mass = number of moles x molar mass
molar mass of CH₂O = 12 + 2(1) + 16 = 30g/mol
Mass = 3.25 x 30 = 97.5g
Answer:
2 C Atoms
Explanation:
When you have coefficient of 2 next to a compound element, it indicates there are 2 of each compound element. In the compound element, there is one C Atom, and 2×1 is 2.
