Answer: The empirical formula of vitamin C is $C_3H_4O_3$

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.

The molecular formula of Vitamin C is $C_3H_4O_3$ .

The simplest whole number ratio will be 3: 4: 3 , and thus empirical formula will be $C_3H_4O_3$ .

Which pair of atoms has the highest electronegativity difference?

zavuch27 [327]

The best way to accurately determine the pair with the highest electronegativity difference is by using their corresponding electronegativity values. For the each of the choices, the difference is:

A. H-S = 2.5 - 2.1 = 0.4
B. H-Cl = 3 - 2.1 = 0.9
C. N-H = 3 - 2.1 = 0.9
D. O-H = 3.5 - 2.1 = 1.4
E. C-H = 2.5 - 2.1 = 0.4

As show, D. has the highest difference. Without looking at their values, you can also determine the pair with the highest difference by taking note of the trend of electronegativity on the periodic table. Electronegativity increases as you go right a group and up a period. This makes oxygen the most electronegative element among the other elements paired with hydrogen.

The density of solid cu is 8.96 g/cm3. how many atoms are present per cubic centimeter of cu?

svp [43]

Since there is 9.47 x 1021 atoms of copper in 1 gram, and 8.96 grams/cc is the density of copper, then 9.47 x 8.96 =84.85 x 1021 atoms of copper in the one cubic centimeter of copper.
