The greenhouse effect is rightly called that because greenhouses allow heat to enter, but doesn't allow heat to leave, which warms plants.
On earth however, it's much bigger. Our own atmosphere acts similarly to this; it allows heat in, but doesn't allow it to leave which heats up the planet and causes global warming.
What is the problem u need help with
The empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula : C₁₀H₅O₂
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Molecular formula : C₁₀H₅O₂
Required
The empirical formula
Solution
The empirical formula (EF) is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.
The molecular formula (MF) is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.
(empirical formula) n = molecular formula
<em>(EF)n=MF
</em>
(EF)n = C₁₀H₅O₂
If we divide by the number of moles of Oxygen (the smallest) which is 2 then the moles of Hydrogen will be a decimal number (not whole), which is 2.5, then the empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula
1.75 moles or 1.8 moles if you’re rounding in terms of sig figs
