Answer: molecular formula = C12H16O8
Explanation:
NB Mm CO2= 44g/mol
Mm H2O= 18g/mol
Moles of CO2 = 36.86/44=0.84mol
0.84mole of CO2 has 0.84 mol of C
Moles of H2O = 10.06/18= 0.56mol
1mol of H20 contains 1mol of O and 2 mol H,
Hence there are 0.56mol O and (0.56×2)mol H
Hence the compound contains
C= 0.84 mol H= 1.12mol O=0.56mol
Divide through by smallest number
C= 0.83/0.56= 1.5mol
H= 1.12/0.55= 2mol
O= 0.56/0.56= 1mol
Multiply all by 2 to have whole number of moles = 3:4:2
Hence empirical formula= C3H4O2
(C3H4O2)n = 288.38
[(12×3) + 4+(16×2)]n= 288.38
72n=288.38
n= 4
:. Molecular formula=(C3H4O2)4= C12H16O8
True, Crude oil is a type of liquid thereofre can flow through the pourus layer but seeming how impermeable means to not allow fluid to pass it would only make sense that the fluid is trapped between the two.
Reactivity is not a physical property because it's a characteristic of a chemical element or compound and is involved in chemical process.
