Chemistry
1 answer:
levacccp [35]3 years ago
5 0

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

Is barium nitrate more soluble in water than CH4 or the other way around?
kenny6666 [7]
Barium nitrate and methane (CH4) are both soluble. They both will dissolve in water, however, barium nitrate will dissociate becoming barium 2+ ions and nitrate becoming NO3 1- ions. All nitrates are soluble and dissociate. CH4 is a weak base and does dissolves but doesn't dissociate. So in solubility terms.... they are both equally soluble just one happens to dissociate into its cations and anions. Hope this helps!
