Determining the molecular formula of a hydrocarbon with a relative molecular mass of 54​

Chemistry

Answer:

C₄H₆

Explanation:

A hydrocarbon is a molecule that only contains atoms of Carbon and Hydrogen. As you remember, the molar mass of Carbon is 12g/mol and the molar mass of Hydrogen is 1g/mol.

To solve this question we can find the amount of Carbons necessary that doesn't exceed the 54g/mol. That is:

54g/mol / 12g/mol = 4.5

As the molecular formula must be given in whole numbers, the amount of Carbons is 4. This 4 carbons have a mass of:

12g/mol*4 = 48g/mol

And the hydrogens necessaries to suply the molecular mass are:

54 - 48 = 6 hydrogens

That means molecular formula is:

vichka [17]

Answer:

Option =C each mouse in the study has brown ears.

Explanation:

Qualitative:

Qualitative properties are those that can be only observed but not measured in numerical values. These are observed through senses: touch, sight, smell, taste and hear.

For example:

Color, odor, brittleness, taste etc.

Quantitative:

Quantitative properties can be measured in numerical values.

For example:

Melting point, boiling point, conductivity, viscosity, density, hardness and solubility.

In short we can say that qualitative is a measure of quality while the quantitative is a measure of quantity.
