Beryllium is a chemical element with symbol Be and atomic number 4. It is a relatively rare element in the universe, usually occurring as a product of the spallation of larger atomic nuclei that have collided with cosmic rays.
The correct answer is option B. The most dense phase of matter is the solid phase and the least dense are gases. However, there is an exception. Water is the exception. Solid water or ice is less dense than the liquid phase therefore it floats on liquid water.
The molecular formula of the compound is C12H15O3 hence the molar mass of the compound is 207 g/mol.
We need to obtain the number of moles of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in the compound;
Carbon = 24.91 g/44g/mol × 1 mole of carbon = 0.566 moles
Mass of carbon = 0.566 moles × 12 g/mol = 6.792 g
Number of moles of hydrogen = 6.522 g/18 g/mol × 2 moles = 0.725 moles
Mass of hydrogen = 0.725 moles × 1 g/mol = 0.725 g
Mass of oxygen = 10 - (6.792 g + 0.725 g) = 2.483 g
Number of moles of oxygen = 2.483 g/16 g/mol = 0.155 moles
Now we must divide through by the lowest number of moles;
C - 0.566/0.155 H - 0.725/0.155 O - 0.155/0.155
C - 4 H - 5 O - 1
The simplest formula is C4H5O Recall that the molar mass of the compound lies between 150.0 and 220.0 g/mol
4(12) + 5(1) + 16 = 69
Hence; n = 3 and the molecular formula of the compound is C12H15O3
The molar mass of the compound is; 12(12) + 15(1) + 3(16) = 207 g/mol
