Answer:

C. The lowest whole-number ratio of atoms in a molecule.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the definition of the empirical and the molecular equations, it is possible for us to consider the following example of molecular formula, C4H10, whose empirical formula is C2H5.

In such a way, it is possible for us to say that the empirical formula gives C. The lowest whole-number ratio of atoms in a molecule, as it is the result of the simplification of the molecular formula when possible.

Regards!

Gasoline is a mixture of compounds. A gasoline sample was found to be 2.851% (by mass) octane (C₈H₁₈). 482.6 g of gasoline is co
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

The mass of octane in the sample of gasoline is 0.02851 * 482.6 =  13.759 g of octane.

The balanced equation is:

2C8H18(l)  +  25O2(g) ---->  16CO2(g)  +   18H2O(g)

From the equation, using  atomic masses:

228.29 g of  octane forms 704 g of CO2 and 324.3 g of H2O

So the mass of CO2 formed from the combustion of 13.759 g of octane = (704 * 13.759) / 228.29

= 42.43 g of CO2.

Amount of water = 324.3 * 13.759) / 228.29

= 19.55 g of H2O.

I can see two answers, I’d go with D, but all neutral atoms, of the same element would have the same number of outer electrons. However, if you consider that some of the atoms might be ions, that would eliminate B.
