First, you need to figure out the relative ratios of moles of carbon and hydrogen. You do this by first looking up the atomic weight of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Then you use those atomic weights to calculate the molar masses of H2O and CO2.
Carbon = 12.0107
Hydrogen = 1.00794
Oxygen = 15.999
Molar mass of H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488
Molar mass of CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087
Now using the calculated molar masses, determine how many moles of each product was generated. You do this by dividing the given mass by the molar mass.
moles H2O = 11.5 g / 18.01488 g/mole = 0.638361 moles
moles CO2 = 22.4 g / 44.0087 g/mole = 0.50899 moles
The number of moles of carbon is the same as the number of moles of CO2 since there's just 1 carbon atom per CO2 molecule.
Since there's 2 hydrogen atoms per molecule of H2O, you need to multiply the number of moles of H2O by 2 to get the number of moles of hydrogen.
moles C = 0.50899
moles H = 0.638361 * 2 = 1.276722
We can double check our math by multiplying the calculated number of moles of carbon and hydrogen by their respective atomic weights and see if we get the original mass of the hydrocarbon.
total mass = 0.50899 * 12.0107 + 1.276722 * 1.00794 = 7.400185
7.400185 is more than close enough to 7.40 given rounding errors, so the double check worked.
Now to find the empirical formula we need to find a ratio of small integers that comes close to the ratio of moles of carbon and hydrogen.
0.50899 / 1.276722 = 0.398669
0.398669 is extremely close to 4/10, so let's reduce that ratio by dividing both top and bottom by 2 giving 2/5.
Since the number of moles of carbon was on top, that ratio implies that the empirical formula for this unknown hydrocarbon is

Answer:
weigh it and divide the weight by the molecular weight. :) good luck!!
Explanation:
Answer:
They are strong intermolecular forces
Explanation:
Covalent forces are very strong intermolecular forces. In fact, we can say they are the strongest. This is because several big and giant molecules have covalent bonds holding their molecules together. A good example of this is the buckministerfullerence molecule which contains carbon atom to the order of 60 carbon atoms. It is a very giant molecule and it is covalent bond that is holding the molecules together
The strongest substance in the world is diamond. It is so strong that no other substance can cut it asides another diamond. As strong as it is, the molecule is held together by very strong intermolecular forces of covalent bonds which confers the strength it has on it
As with the properties of a substance, the changes that substances undergo can be classified as either physical or chemical. During physical changes a substance changes its physical appearance, but not its composition. The evaporation of water is a physical change.
(I searched that up but here’s an explanation with my own words that you can use):
Change in matter can be classified as a physical change as well as a chemical change due to the properties of substance. A physical change changes substance within its appearance but not its composition. For an example: The evaporation of water is a physical change.
There you go hopefully that helped
The amount of water in the air is humidity .
