Knowing the ratio between atoms we can write an empirical formula: 

<span>C4H6O </span>

<span>we compute the molar mass of this single formula: </span>
<span>4x12 + 6 x 1 + 16 x1 = 70 g / mol </span>

<span>Now, as we know the actual molar mas being 280 g/mol, we divide this number by 70 and we get the ratio between empirical formula and molecular actual formula: </span>

<span>280 / 70 = 4 </span>

<span>This means that actual molecular formula is: </span>

<span>(C4H6O)4 or </span>

<span>C16H24O4 </span>

How many grams of ca are needed to react completely with 2.20 L of a 4.50 m hcl solution
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Ca + 2HCl = CaCl₂ + H₂

c=4.50 mol/l
v=2.20 l

n(HCl)=cv

m(Ca)/M(Ca)=n(HCl)/2

m(Ca)=M(Ca)cv/2

m(Ca)=40g/mol·4.50mol/l·2.20l/2=198 g

198 grams of Ca are needed

What two types of matter are closest in<br> density? How do you know?<br> ings.
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Density: The molecules of a liquid are packed relatively close together. Consequently, liquids are much denser than gases. The density of a liquid is typically about the same as the density of the solid state of the substance.

In a gas, the distance between molecules, whether monatomic or polyatomic, is very large compared with the size of the molecules; thus gases have a low density and are highly compressible. In contrast, the molecules in liquids are very close together, with essentially no empty space between them
