The numbers in front of the formulas
Step 1:
Divide mass of each element with its M.mass in order to find out moles.
C = 63.2 g / 12 g/mol = Moles = 5.26 moles
H = 5.26 g / 1.008 g/mol = Moles = 5.21 moles
C = 41.6 g / 16 g/mol = Moles = 2.6 moles
Step 2:
Select moles of the element with least value and divide all moles of element by it,
C H O
5.26/2.6 : 5.21/2.6 : 2.6/2.6
2.02 : 2.00 : 1
Result:
Empirical Formula = C₂H₂O
Taking into account the scientific notation, the result of the subtraction is -4.20689×10⁻².
<h3>Scientific notation</h3>
Scientific notation is a quick way to represent a number using powers of base ten, where the numbers are written as a product:
a×10ⁿ
where:
- a is a real number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, to which a decimal point is added after the first digit if it is a non-integer number.
- n is an integer, which is called an exponent or an order of magnitude. Represents the number of times the comma is shifted. It is always an integer, positive if it is shifted to the left, negative if it is shifted to the right.
<h3>Subtraction in scientific notation</h3>
When the numbers to be added do not have the same base 10 exponent, the base 10 power with the highest exponent must be found. In this case, the highest exponent is -2.
Then all the values are expressed as a function of the base 10 exponent with the highest exponent. In this case: 3.11×10⁻⁵= 0.00311×10⁻²
Taking the quantities to the same exponent, all you have to do is subtract what was previously called the number "a". In this case:
0.00311×10⁻² - 4.21×10⁻²= (0.00311 - 4.21)×10⁻²= -4.20689×10⁻²
Finally, the result of the subtraction is -4.20689×10⁻².

It has an ultramafic composition
Hope this helps ;)
Answer:
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they become positively or negatively charged ions. In an ionic compound, the ions are arranged in a three-dimensional structure called a crystal. ... When an atoms gains or loses electrons, it gains a charge, thus becoming an ion.
