Answer:

CH₂

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Percentage composition:

          Carbon  = 40.1%

          Hydrogen  = 6.6%

Unknown:

Empirical formula of the compound  = ?

Solution:

The empirical formula of a substance is its simplest formula.

 Elements                             Carbon                             Hydrogen

Percentage

Composition                           40.1                                     6.6

Molecular mass                        12                                         1

Number of moles                  40.1/12                                  6.6/1

                                                3.342                                    6.6

Divide through by

the smallest                         3.342/3.342                           6.6/3.342

                                                      1                                        2

So the empirical formula of the compound is CH₂

What happens when sodium and chlorine react to make table salt <br><br> Please help
Julli [10]
When a sodium atom transfers an electron to a chlorine atom, forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-), both ions have complete valence shells, and are energetically more stable. The reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat energy.

What did Thomas Young, Max planck and Albert Einstein contribute towards the nature of light?
Lera25 [3.4K]

The contribution to the nature of light-

Thomas Young - wave nature of light (double-slit experiment)

Max Planck - E = hv

Albert Einstein - a quantum theory of light

Thomas Young proposed the most important double-slit experiment which shows that light acts like a wave and shows the pattern of interferences.

Max Planck proposed that light is proportional to frequency. He gave the equation, E = hv, where E is the energy of light, h is Planck's constant, and v is the frequency.

Albert Einstein proposed the quantum theory of light. He determined that light exists in discrete quanta of energy called photons.
