Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up the compound. the molecular formula is the actual ratio of components making up the compound.
the empirical formula is CH₂. We can find the mass of CH₂ one empirical unit and have to then find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula.
Mass of one empirical unit - CH₂ - 12 g/mol x 1 + 1 g/mol x 2 = 12 = 14 g
Molar mass of the compound is - 252 .5 g/mol
number of empirical units = molar mass / mass of empirical unit
= 
= 18 units
Therefore molecular formula is - 18 times the empirical formula
molecular formula - CH₂ x 18 = C₁₈H₃₆
molecular formula is C₁₈H₃₆
2. answer is C.<span> Elements have the same physical and chemical properties in any period </span>
2.1648 kg of CH4 will generate 119341 KJ of energy.
Explanation:
Write down the values given in the question
CH4(g) +2 O2 → CO2(g) +2 H20 (g)
ΔH1 = - 802 kJ
2 H2O(g)→2 H2O(I)
ΔH2= -88 kJ
The overall chemical reaction is
CH4 (g)+2 O2(g)→CO2(g)+2 H2O (I) ΔH2= -890 kJ
CH4 +2 O2 → CO2 +2 H20
(1mol)+(2mol)→(1mol+2mol)
Methane (CH4) = 16 gm/mol
oxygen (O2) =32 gm/mol
Here 1 mol CH4 ang 2mol of O2 gives 1mol of CO2 and 2 mol of 2 H2O
which generate 882 KJ /mol
Therefore to produce 119341 KJ of energy
119341/882 = 135.3 mol
to produce 119341 KJ of energy, 135.3 mol of CH4 and 270.6 mol of O2 will require
=135.3 *16
=2164.8 gm
=2.1648 kg of CH4
2.1648 kg of CH4 will generate 119341 KJ of energy
Well assuming we have all of these, earth
