<span>C7H8 First, determine the number of relative moles of each element we have and the molar masses of the products. atomic mass of carbon = 12.0107 atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.00794 atomic mass of oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass of CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 Molar mass of H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488 We have 5.27 mg of CO2, so 5.27 / 44.0087 = 0.119749 milli moles of CO2 And we have 1.23 mg of H2O, so 1.23 / 18.01488 = 0.068277 milli moles of H2O Since there's 1 carbon atom per CO2 molecule, we have 0.119749 milli moles of carbon. Since there's 2 hydrogen atoms per H2O molecules, we have 2 * 0.068277 = 0.136554 milli moles of hydrogen atoms. Now we need to find a simple integer ratio that's close to 0.119749 / 0.136554 = 0.876937 Looking at all fractions n/m where n ranges from 1 to 10 and m ranges from 1 to 10, I find a closest match at 7/8 = 0.875 with an error of only 0.001937, the next closest match has an error over 6 times larger. So let's go with the 7/8 ratio. The numerator in the ratio was for carbon atoms, and the denominator was for hydrogen. So the empirical formula for toluene is C7H8.</span>

1. The answer is option E, that is None of the above is correct.

As a polymer becomes more crystalline,

its melting point doesn't decreases, its density doesn't decreases, its stiffness doesn't decreases and its yield stress doesn't decreases.

2. The answer is option B, that is the molecules are arranged in sheets, with their long axes parallel and their ends aligned as well.

In the smectic A liquid-crystalline phase, molecules are arranged in sheets, with their long axes parallel and their ends aligned as well.

3.  For a substitutional alloy to form, the two metals combined must have similar atomic radii and chemical bonding properties.

What are 2 ways to give an object potential energy?
natita [175]
There are several ways to give an object potential energy. One can move the object against the force of gravity to increase. One can also stretch an object out or put pressure on it.

8.) If 396 g of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) are produced, what mass of Oxygen<br> (02) reacted? *
Brut [27]

Answer:

264g

Explanation:

C + O2 -> CO2

_g + _g -> 396g

396÷3=132

C (132g) + O2 (264g) -> CO2 (396g)

A chlorine atom has a diameter of 175 picometers (pm). Please write the diameter, in metered, in scientific notation.
Flauer [41]
Picometre is equal to 1·10⁻¹²m
175·10⁻¹² m = 1,75·10⁻¹⁰ m
