What is the molecular formula of a component whose molar mass is 88.0 and whose percent composted is 9.1

Chemistry

Shalnov [3]3 years ago
4 0

The molecular formula : C₄H₈O₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Maybe a compound is 54.5% carbon, 9.1% hydrogen and 36.4% oxygen,so :

mol C :

\tt \dfrac{54.5}{12}=4.54

mol H :

\tt \dfrac{9.1}{1}=9.1

mol O :

\tt \dfrac{36.4}{16}=2.28

Divide by 2.28(the smallest ratio) :

C H : O =

\tt \dfrac{4.54}{2.28}\div \dfrac{9.1}{2.28}\div \dfrac{2.28}{2.28}=2\div 4\div 1

The empirical formula : C₂H₄O

(The empirical formula)n=molecular formula

(2.12+4.1+16)n=88

(44)n=88⇒n=2

Which of the following covalent bonds is the most polar?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

D.) H-O

Explanation:

Polarity is determined based on the difference in electronegativity of the atoms. The greater the difference, the more polar the bond. The general trend is that the atoms in the top-right corner of the periodic table are the most electronegative.

A.) is incorrect because H-H has no electronegativity difference, making it nonpolar.

B.) and C.) are incorrect because their electronegativity differences are not the greatest.

D.) is correct because the electronegativity difference between the H and O is the greatest.

What are the four points of Dalton's Theory?<br>​
WARRIOR [948]

1. Elements are composed of atoms that are indestructible

2. All atoms of a given element are identical; same size/mass/chemical properties

3. Atoms of 1 element are different from the atoms of other elements

4. Compounds are composed of atoms with more than 1 element. The relative number of atoms for each element are of a given compound are always going to be the same.

(Extra one) 5. Chemical reactions are only ever going involve the rearrangement of the atoms. Atoms are not created/destroyed during the chemical reactions. (Law of Conservation of Mass: nothing can ever be created or destroyed.)

(A)What type of cloud forms at high altitudes and is wispy and feathery.
posledela
A) Answer D. Clouds forming high in the atmosphere are referred to as cirrus, cirrostratus, and cirrocumulus. 

B) Clouds tend to form at higher altitudes because as<span> air rises, the moisture in it slowly reaches its saturation point and when this happens, tiny crystals of water start to condense and form clouds.

C) Precipitation: Water that falls to the ground from clouds, such as in rain, snow, sleet, or hail.</span>
