Answer:

C20 H14 O2

Explanation:

Remark

This is a sample, which the question does not say and should. It is a fraction of 1 mole. So what you have to do is multiply the numbers given by x and equate it to 286.28

Equation

150,86* x + 8.86*x + 20.1*x  = 286.28

179.8x = 286.28

x = 286.26/179.8

x = 1.592

Now multiply the given numbers by 1.592

150.86 * 1.592 = 240.58

8.85 * 1.592 = 14.1

20.1 * 1.592 = 32

Rounding you get

240/12 = 20

14.1/1 = 14

32/16 = 2

C20 H14 O2

Which formed first: hydrogen nuclei or hydrogen atoms?
Mama L [17]
This sounds very much like a chicken-egg problem.

The first thing that formed must be hydrogen nuclei. The only other alternative is that the atom was created instantly, and the nuclei sprang forth at the same time as the atom, meaning that neither was technically first. The logic is that an atom can’t form without a nucleus, but it theoretically could be created instantly.
