Which formula is an empirical formula? (1) CH4 (2) C2 H6 (3) C3 H6 (4) C4 H10

1 answer:

3 0

CH4 is an emprirical formula as it shows the simplest ratio of the numbers of different atoms present in the molecule. The empirical formula for CH4 is also the same as the molecular formula.
The other compunds can be simplified so they are not the empirical formula of compounds.
Hope this helps :).

Of the molecules below, only ________ is polar.a. SiCl4 b. CH4 c. CCl4 d. SeF4

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

SeF4 is a polar molecule

Explanation:

SeF4 is a polar molecule because a polar molecule is any molecule that have lone pairs of electrons in the central atom or have atoms that are electronegative and the electrons between that are covalently bonded are not evenly distributed.

The electronegative atoms of flourine in SeF4 are not evenly distributed and kind pairs of electrons are on the central atom.

How many grams of carbon (C) would be present in carbon monoxide (CO) that contains 2.666 grams of oxygen (O)? For example if th

oee [108]

Given :

Mass of oxygen containing carbon monoxide (CO) is 2.666 gram .

To Find :

How many grams of carbon (C) would be present in carbon monoxide (CO) that contains 2.666 grams of oxygen (O) .

Solution :

By law of constant composition , a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio (by mass) and does not depend on its source and method of preparation.

So , volume of solution does not matter .

Moles of oxygen , $n=\dfrac{2.666}{16}=0.167\ mole$ .

Now , molecule of CO contains 1 mole of C .

So , moles of C is also 0.167 mole .

Mass of carbon , $m=12\times 0.167=2\ g$ .

Therefore , mass of carbon is 2 grams .

Hence , this is the required solution .
