In order to determine the answer to a chemistry problem, a student first converted the given percentages to mole by assuming the

sample size was 100 grams. Then the student divide by the smallest mole amount of the elements present. Finally the student used the ratios to write a formula. Which of the following best describes the problem the student likely solved?
a. Determined percent composition
b. None of the above
c. Determining molecular formula
d. Determining empirical formula

Answer: d. Determining empirical formula

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Step 1: If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.  So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Step 2 : convert given masses into moles

Step 3 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated

Step 4: The mole ratio gives the empirical formula of the compund.

When a pendulum swings, if it is not continuously pushed it will not stop eventually because some of its energy is changed into.
Vladimir79 [104]
Well, there is kinetic energy when the object is in motion. But it will stop eventually because that energy is converted into thermal energy, or heat.

Why is surface tension important to life on earth?
AnnZ [28]
<span>Surface tension is most prevalent in earth's most important compound, water. "Normal" water at ambient temperature has a high surface tension, but the addition of different chemicals can alter this. The relationship between the molecules affects the fluidity of the liquid and it's ability to support pressure</span>

Which of the following compounds will be most soluble in ethanol (CH3CH2OH)?hexane (CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3)ethylene glycol (HOCH2CH2
jonny [76]

Answer:

Ethylene glycol

Explanation:

Solubility results when there is some kind of interaction between the solute and its solvent. In the case of ethylene glycol, it could form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with ethanol and is hence miscible with ethanol in all proportions.
