Answer:

Molecular mass

Explanation:

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Thus if the molecular mass is known, then we can find the value of n which results to molecular formula.

look good w small changes below:

Answer:

AB is an ionic compound. The electronegativity difference between A and B is greater.

AC is an ionic compound. The electronegativity difference between A and C is greater.

BC is a covalent compound because the electronegativity difference between C and B is small.

An object weighing 90 n has a volume of 45 ml and a mass of 9.0 g what is its density

UNO [17]

D= mass over volume

So, density equals 9.0g divided by 45ml.

SO, D=.25 g/ml

I'm not 100% sure this is correct, though. Best if luck. ♡

Ethanol melts at -114 degree C. The enthalpy of fusion

Brut [27]

Answer: The heat required is 6.88 kJ.

Explanation:

The conversions involved in this process are :

$(1):ethanol(s)(-135^0C)\rightarrow ethanol(s)(-114^0C)\\\\(2):ethanol(s)(-114^0C)\rightarrow ethanol(l)(-114^0C)\\\\(3):ethanol(l)(-114^0C)\rightarrow ethanol(l)(-50^0C)$

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy change.

$\Delta H=[m\times c_{p,s}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]+n\times \Delta H_{fusion}+[m\times c_{p,l}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]+n\times \Delta H_{vap}+[m\times c_{p,g}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]$
