Answer:

C₂H₄O₂

Explanation:

Step 1: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

C: 40.00/12.01 = 3.331

H: 6.67/1.01 = 6.60

O: 53.33/16.00 = 3.333

Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one

C: 3.331/3.331 = 1

H: 6.60/3.331 ≈ 2

O: 3.333/3.331 ≈ 1

The empirical formula is CH₂O, with a molecular weight of 12 g/mol + 2 × 1 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 30 g/mol. The molecular weight of the compound must be a product of 30, such as 60 (between 55 and 62 g/mol). Since we have to multiply by 2 (30 to 60) to get to the molecular weight of the compound, we also have to multiply the empirical formula by 2 to get the chemical formula of the compound.

CH₂O × 2 = C₂H₄O₂

Which of the following mixtures may be act as a buffer solution?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

B) HF, NaF

Explanation:

  • A buffer solution is made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base.
  • In this case, HF is a weak acid and NaF is the conjugate base, therefore the mixture of HF,  and NaF would make a perfect buffer solution.
  • The buffer would have the weak acid HF and its conjugate base, F- which comes from the soluble salt NaF.

The energies of electrons are quantized. What does that mean?.
professor190 [17]

Answer:

The correct statement should be The energies of electron are <em>quantized</em> when <em>they are bounded to an atom.</em>

In Quantum Mechanics The term Quantization used to measure the physical entities having certain discrete value. When we say energies of electron are <em>quantized</em> <em>that means it have some specific values</em> that are allowed, that is not continuous range of values.
