The letter in parentheses after a chemical formula indicates c) the physical state of the substance.

The letters can be:

→ (s) for solid.

→ (l) for liquid.

→ (g) for gazeous.

→ (aq) for an aqueous solution (like NaCl (aq) - NaCl is dissolved in water)

A compound with a molar mass of 60g/mol is 40.4% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.3% oxygen (by mass). determine the emperical and m
Fittoniya [83]

<span>A compound is found to be 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.5% oxygen. Its molecular mass is 60. g/mol. 
</span>Q1)
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components making up a compound.
the percentages have been given, therefore we can calculate for 100 g of the compound.

                                C                            H                        O
Mass in 100 g      40.0 g                       6.7 g                   53.5 g
Molar mass            12 g/mol                1 g/mol                 16 g/mol
Number of moles   40.0/12= 3.33         6.7/1 = 6.7          53.5/16 = 3.34
Divide by the least number of moles  
                             3.33/3.33 = 1           6.7/3.33 = 2.01   3.34/3.33 = 1.00
after rounding off
C - 1 
H - 2
O - 1

Empirical formula - CH₂O

Q2)
Molecular formula is the actual number of components making up the compound.
To find the number of empirical units we have to find the mass of one empirical unit.
Mass of one empirical unit = CH₂O - 12 + (1x2) + 16 = 30 g
Mass of one mole of compound = 60 g
Number of empirical units = 60 g / 30 g = 2
Therefore molecular formula - 2(CH₂O) 
 Molecular formula - C₂H₄O₂

Dmitri mendeleev contribution to the periodic table.
Pepsi [2]

In 1871, a Russian Chemist, Dimitri Mendeleev, gave a useful scheme for classification of elements. He presented the first regular periodic table in which elements of similar chemical properties were arranged in eight vertical columns called groups. The horizontal rows of table were called periods. He arranged elements in ascending order of their  atomic masses and found that elements having similar chemical properties appeared at regular intervals. This observation was called Periodic Law.
