a is the answer because all of the other answers are wrtong
When organisms and plants died and sank to the bottom of swamps and oceans, brown soil-like materials called peat are formed. Over millions of years, the peat became covered with sand, clay and other minerals and the peat is converted into layers of sedimentary rocks. After a long time, different type of fossil fuels are formed.
Answer:
Compounds 1 and 2 are not the same
Explanation:
To solve this question we need to find the molecular formula of the compounds converting the mass of each atom to moles. Molecular formula is defined as the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in a molecula:
Compound 1:
<em>Moles Tin: </em>
5.63g Sn * (1mol / 118.7g) = 0.04743 moles
<em>Moles Cl:</em>
3.37g Cl * (1mol / 35.45g) = 0.09506 moles
Ratio Cl:Sn
0.09506 moles / 0.04743 moles = 2
Molecular formula SnCl₂
Compound 2:
<em>Moles Tin: </em>
2.5g Sn * (1mol / 118.7g) = 0.02106 moles
<em>Moles Cl:</em>
2.98g Cl * (1mol / 35.45g) = 0.08406 moles
Ratio Cl:Sn
0.08406 moles / 0.02106 moles = 4
Molecular formula SnCl₄
Compounds 1 and 2 are not the same because molecular formulas are different.
