B - Atomic number. Dmitri Mendeleev organised the table according to atomic weight, however this caused problems with elements such as iodine and tellurium, Iodine has a higher mass, but a lower atomic number. And to make iodine in the same group as similar elements (halogens), Mendeleev had to break his own rules and put it before tellurium in the table. Moseley fixed this problem by ordering the elements according to atomic (proton) number.
Basis of the calculation: 100g
For Carbon:
Mass of carbon = (100 g)(0.80) = 80 g
Number of moles of carbon = (80 g)(1 mole / 12g) = 20/3
For Hydrogen:
Mass of hydrogen = (100 g)(0.20) = 20 g
Number of moles of hydrogen = (20 g)(1 mole / 1 g) = 20
Translating the answer to the formula of the substance,
C20/3H20
Dividing the answer,
CH3
The molar mass of the empirical formula is:
12 + 3 = 15 g/mol
Since, the molar mass given for the molecular formula is 30.069 g/mol, the molecular equation is,
C2H6
