A hypothesis is given to explain a phenomena which has not been
explained till then.
it can be supported by an experiment if that experiment gets the other
results regarding that particular phenomena in agreement with that being
predicted by the hypothesis
Answer:
Option A. 1.8×10²⁴ molecules.
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
Number of mole of methane = 3 moles
Number of molecules of methane =?
From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ molecules.
Thus, 1 mole of methane equally contains 6.02×10²³ molecules.
With the above information in mind, we can obtain the number of molecules in 3 moles of methane as follow:
1 mole of methane contains 6.02×10²³ molecules.
Therefore, 3 moles of methane will contain = 3 × 6.02×10²³ = 1.8×10²⁴ molecules.
Thus, 3 moles of methane contains 1.8×10²⁴ molecules.
Elements in the same group have the same amount of electrons.
Elements in the same period have the same amount of atomic orbits.
Hope this helps!
The actual number of atoms of each element present in the molecule of the compound is represented by the formula known as molecular formula.
Molar mass of the unknown compound = 223.94 g/mol (given)
Mass of each element present in the unknown compound is determined as:
- Mass of carbon,
:
- Mass of hydrogen,
:
- Mass of chlorine,
:
Now, the number of each element in the unknown compound is determined by the formula:
- Number of moles of :
- Number of moles of :
- Number of moles of
Dividing each mole with the smallest number of mole, to determine the empirical formula:
Multiplying with 2 to convert the numbers in formula into a whole number:
So, the empirical formula is 
.
Empirical mass = 
In order to determine the molecular formula:
n = 
n = 
So, the molecular formula is:
