The empirical formula is the simplest number of atoms each can be reduced to. If we want to find the molecular formula, we need to find the right number of atoms of each that will add to the given mass, in this case, 62.0 grams. In this case, we find the individual masses of each element.
Carbon: 12.011 grams

Hydrogen: 1.008 grams * 3 since there are three

Oxygen: 15.999 grams

When we add these, we get a total mass of 31.034 grams. If we multiply it by two, we get the exact mass of the molecule formula, 62.068. Since we multiplied by two, all molecules have to be multiplied by two. That just means we multiply the number of molecules in the compound by two.
Therefore,

Empirical: CH3O

CH3O*2= C2H6O2 = Molecular

Calculate the volume of 11 g of CO2 at NTP ?​
Kitty [74]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

5.6 Liters

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • N.T.P. refers to the standard temperature and pressure (S.T.P).

We need to know that;

  • One mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters at N.T.P.

In this case;

We have 11 g of CO₂

But, 1 mole of CO₂ occupies 22.4 l at N.T.P.

1 mole of CO₂ = 44 g

Therefore;

44 g of CO₂ = 22.4 liters

What about 11 g ?

= (11 g × 22.4 l)÷ 44 g

= 5.6 l

Therefore, 11 g of CO₂ will occupy a volume of 5.6 liters at N.T.P.

Answer:

They will create an ionic bond.

Explanation:

The atom with the one valence electron will lose its one, because it's a metal and metals will lose electrons to become stable. The nonmetal (with 7 valence electrons) will gain that electron, therefore creating a stable octet for the nonmetal, making the compound stable.
