Answer:

Molecular formula = C₂H₆

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of hydrogen = 20.0 %

Percentage of carbon = 80.0 %

Molar mass = 30.0 g  

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 20 / 1.01 = 19.8  

Number of gram atoms of C = 80 /12 = 6.7

Atomic ratio:

            C              :           H            

         6.7/6.7        :        19.8/6.7  

            1               :           3        

C : H = 1 : 3

Empirical formula is CH₃.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula = CH₃ = 12×1 +3×1.01 = 15.03 g/mol

n = 30 g/mol / 15.03 g/mol

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 (CH₃)

Molecular formula = C₂H₆

Why were colonists in new england angry at king james 2 abd governor edmund andros of new england?​
Pani-rosa [81]

His strict imposition of autocratic rule was supported by his appointment by the King, who otherwise was not directly involved.

Explanation:

Andros’ imposition of Episcopalian worship in the Old South Meeting house, Boston his vigorous enforcement of the Navigation Acts.

He had earned the enmity of the local populace by enforcing the restrictive Navigation Acts.

He had infuriated Puritans in Boston by promoting the Church of England, which was rejected by many Nonconformist New England colonists.

When news of the overthrow of James II (1688) reached Boston, the colonists revolted, deposing Andros and imprisoning him.

His requirement that landholders take out new land patents and his limitations upon town meetings and rights of local taxation all aroused sharp resentment in colonial America.
