To find the molecular formula from the empirical formula, you need to find a multiple (x) that will give you the molar mass of the compound which in the question is 54 g/mol.

If C₂H₃ is the empirical formula
 molar mass of empirical formula = (12 × 2) + (1 × 3) g/mol
                                                     =  27 g/mol
let x = multiple
let molecular formula = C₂ₓ H₃ₓ

            multiple = molecular mass ÷ empirical mass
                         =  54 g/mol ÷  27 g/mol
                         =  2


If molecular formula = C₂ₓ H₃ₓ

then molecular formula = C₂₍₂₎H₃₍₂₎

                                      = <span>C₄H</span>₆

How can you described the energy of a storm
lakkis [162]

Answer:

When the surface water is warm, the storm sucks up heat energy from the water, just like a straw sucks up a liquid. This creates moisture in the air. If wind conditions are right, the storm becomes a hurricane. This heat energy is the fuel for the storm.

2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl3 + 3H2
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: The reaction produces 2.93 g H₂.

M_r:                        133.34  2.016

       2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂

Moles of AlCl₃ = 129 g AlCl₃ × (1 mol AlCl₃/133.34 g AlCl₃) = 0.9675 mol AlCl₃

Moles of H₂ = 0.9675 mol AlCl₃ × (3 mol H₂/2 mol AlCl₃) = 1.451 mol H₂

Mass of H₂ = 1.451 mol H₂ × (2.016 g H₂/1 mol H₂) = 2.93 g H₂
