Margaret [11]3 years ago

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound 
molecular formula is the actual ratio of components in a compound .
the molecular formula for the compounds given are as follows
ethyne  - C₂H₂
ethene - C₂H₄
ethane - C₂H₆
methane - CH₄
the actual ratios of the elements                 simplified ratio
                     C : H                                           C : H
ethyne            2:2                                             1:1
ethene            2:4                                             1:2
ethane            2:6                                             1:3
methane         1:4                                             1:4
the only compound where the actual ratio is equal to the simplified ratio is methane 
therefore in methane molecular formula CH₄ is the same as empirical formula CH₄

An object has a weight of 5.10 Newtons (N) at sea level, where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2.
RUDIKE [14]
Well, you could get the mass as m=\frac{G_0}{g_0} ad then g_1=\frac{G_1}{m}, where G_0 is the sea level weight, g_0 the sea level accel., g_1 the accel. above while G_1 the weight above.

Why doesn’t a broken wineglass spontaneously fix itself, from a thermodynamic point of view?
Alla [95]
The answer is the option<span> 3.) Fixing a wineglass requires a large decrease in entropy.



Entropy is a termodynamical variable and it is defined as the degree of disorder of the system.



As per the second law of thermodynamics the spontaneous changes only occur when the entropy increases.



</span>Fixing the broken glasses by itself meant to decrease the entropy spontaneusly which violate the principle or second law of thermodynamics. So, it is not possible.
