Answer:

C8H20P4F8

Explanation:

Molecular formula is based off a ratio of the molecular formula's molar mass divided by the empirical formula's molar mass.

The molar mass of the empirical formula C2H5PF2 is 98.02g. We find this by adding the molar masses of all elements in the formula, multiplied by their subscripts.

2(12.01) + 5(1.01) + 30.97 + 2(18.99) = 98.02

We then divide the molecular molar mass by the empirical molar mass.

392.16/98.02 = 4

This tells us that the molecular formula has 4 times the mass of the empirical formula. Because mass comes from the elements in the formula, we multiply all the subscripts by 4 to get the molecular formula.

2x4 = 8

5x4 = 20

1x4 = 4

2x4 = 8

So the molecular formula is C8H20P4F8

Functional group and bond hybridization of vanillin
lana66690 [7]

Vanillin is the common name for 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde.

See attached figure for the structure.

Vanillin have 3 functional groups:

1) aldehyde group:  R-HC=O, in which the carbon is double bonded to oxygen

2) phenolic hydroxide group: R-OH, were the hydroxyl group is bounded to a carbon from the benzene ring

3) ether group: R-O-R, were hydrogen is bounded through sigma bonds to carbons

Now for the hybridization we have:

The carbon atoms involved in the benzene ring and the red carbon atom (from the aldehyde group) have a <u>sp²</u> hybridization because they are involved in double bonds.

The carbon atom from the methoxy group (R-O-CH₃) and the blue oxygen's have a  <u>sp³</u>  hybridization because they are involved only in single bonds.

4. Why can't the subscripts be changed in a chemical equation in chemistry
neonofarm [45]
If you change the subscripts it would change the reactants or products and then you would be solving a different formula, you would change what the chemical is

Your feet get hot walking across a beach. which type of heat transfer is occurring from the sand to your feet?
Andrews [41]
The heat transfer just occurred is mainly conduction.

Conduction happens when two objects are in contact with each other. In the hotter object, the molecules and/or free electrons have a higher kinetic energy, thus they'll travel and collide into other molecules, resulting in spreading the energy to the other object.

The heat transfer happens until thermal equilibrium, where both objects have the same temperature and their molecules have the same kinetic energy rate. 

In addition, radiation is also happening since everything that has a higher temperature than the environment is a net emitter. They release electromagnetic waves that turn out to be radiation. These occur even without the presence of air.

Calculate the number of ATOMS in 1.0 mole of O2.
Wewaii [24]
There is 6.02*10^23 molecule per mole. And there is 2 atoms per oxygen molecule. So the answer is 1.204*10^24 atoms in 1.0 mole of O2.
