Which of the following statements is false concerning the formula of a compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:
aalyn [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B. The number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical  formula.

Explanation:

It is not always true that the number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical formula.

The chemical formulae of a compound are of two main types;

  • The empirical formula is that which expresses the composition of a compound in the simplest whole number ratio.
  • The molecular formula shows the actual ratio of the atoms in a compound.

Sometimes the number of atoms in the molecular and empirical formula can be the same.

Also, the number of atoms in the molecular formula is always greater than that of the empirical formula when they are not the same.

Explain why space junk is a hazard to an astronats or spacecraft
Pie

Answer:

Space junk is travelling so fast that a collision with an astronaut or a spacecraft could be disastrous.

Explanation:

Space junk orbits the Earth at speeds of about 28 000 km/h.  

That's so fast that even an orbiting fleck of paint has enough kinetic energy to cause impact craters on the surface of a spacecraft. They are even more dangerous to an astronaut on a space walk.

Much of the space debris is larger and more dangerous than a fleck of paint.

One rough estimate of the amount of space debris is

<em>       </em><u>Size</u><em>        </em>        <u>Number of objects</u>

< 1 cm                        200 000 000

1 cm to 10 cm                   700 000

> 10 cm                                 30 000

Satellites, etc.                       18 000

The chances of collision are small, but any collision can be disastrous.

In a previous problem, the empirical formula of a compound of phosphorus and oxygen was found to be p2o5. experimentation shows
agasfer [191]
The empirical formula for the compound is - P₂O₅
the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound.
molecular formula is the actual ratio of components in a compound.
we have to first find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula 
molecular mass - 283.89 g/mol
mass of empirical formula - 283.8 g
number of empirical units - 283.89 g/mol / 283.8 g
number of empirical units - 1.000 
therefore empirical formula = molecular formula 
molecular formula - P₂O₅
