Answer:

B) C3H3O and C6H6O2

Explanation:

Given data:

Molar mass of compound = 100 g/mol

Percentage of hydrogen = 5.45%

Percentage of carbon = 65.45%

Percentage of oxygen = 29.09%

Empirical formula = ?

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 5.45 / 1.01 = 5.4

Number of gram atoms of O = 29.09/ 16 = 1.8

Number of gram atoms of C = 65.45 / 12 = 5.5

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :      H            :         O

           5.5/1.8              :     5.4/1.8     :        1.8/1.8

            3                      :        3          :        1

C : H : O = 3 : 3 : 1

Empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass = 12×3 + 1.01 ×3 + 16×1 = 55.03  

n = 100 / 5503

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 (C₃H₃O)

Molecular formula = C₆H₆O₂

In which case would an electron experience the greatest effective nuclear charge? not all cases describe an atom in the ground s
lisabon 2012 [21]

One electron in an atom experiences the entire positive charge of the nucleus. Coulomb's law can be used in this situation to determine the effective nuclear charge.

In contrast, the outside electrons in an atom with many electrons are drawn to the positive nucleus and repelled by the negatively charged electrons at the same time. The force between two stationary, electrically charged particles can be measured using Coulomb's law inverse-square law, also known as Coulomb's law. Conventionally, the electric force between two charged objects at rest is referred to as the Coulomb force or electrostatic force.

The electron is a subatomic particle with the symbol e or with an electric charge of one elementarily negative charge. The lepton particle family's first generation includes electrons.

What is the relationship between atmospheric pressure and the density of gas particles in an area of increasing pressure? As air
Marina86 [1]

We need to know the relationship between atmospheric pressure and the density of gas particles in an area of increasing pressure.

The relationship is: As air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases.

For any gaseous substance, density of gas is directly proportional to pressure of gas.

This can be explained from idial gas edquation:

PV=nRT

PV=\frac{w}{M}RT [where, w= mass of substance, M=molar mass of substance]

PM=\frac{w}{V}RT

PM=dRT [where, d=density of thesubstance]

So, for a particular gaseous substance (whose molar mass is known), at particular temperature, pressure is directly related to density of gaseous substance.

Therefore, as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases.
