Answer:

               Molecular Formula = C₄O₂H₈

Explanation:

Molecular formula is calculated from following formula.

Molecular Formula = n(Empirical formula)

The formula for n is given as,

n = Molecular Formula Mass / Empirical Formula Mass

Molecular Formula mass = 88 g/mol

Empirical formula mass = 44

Putting values,

n = 88 / 44 = 2

Now,

Molecular Formula = 2(C₂OH₄)

Molecular Formula = C₄O₂H₈

Which of the following properly describes the movement of atoms as they represent the states of matter? Atoms making liquids hav
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Atoms making liquids have less attraction than solids, but more than gases

Explanation:

The attraction between atoms in different molecules in a solid is very strong due to strong intermolecular forces present in a solid. However, such intermolecular forces are weaker in liquids than in solids.

This implies that the solid has higher intermolecular forces of attraction compared to gases and liquids. Based on the negligible degree of intermolecular forces between them, a gas has the weakest intermolecular forces hence the atom has very minimal interaction between them.

2. A quantity of 1.922g of methanol (CH3OH) was burned in a constant-volume
Cerrena [4.2K]
Mass of methanol (CH3OH) = 1.922 g
Change in Temperature (t) = 4.20°C
Heat capacity of the bomb plus water = 10.4 KJ/oC
The heat absorbed by the bomb and water is equal to the product of the heat capacity and the temperature change.
Let’s assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings. First, let’s calculate the heat changes in the calorimeter. This is calculated using the formula shown below:
qcal = Ccalt
Where, qcal = heat of reaction
Ccal = heat capacity of calorimeter
t = change in temperature of the sample
Now, let’s calculate qcal:
qcal = (10.4 kJ/°C)(4.20°C)
= 43.68 kJ
Always qsys = qcal + qrxn = 0,
qrxn = -43.68 kJ
The heat change of the reaction is - 43.68 kJ which is the heat released by the combustion of 1.922 g of CH3OH. Therefore, the conversion factor is:

Which best discribe a role of animal in the water cycle
77julia77 [94]
Animals contribute water mainly through breathing, perspiration and urination. ... When droplets of sweat evaporate from the surface of an animal's skin, they take a bit of the animal's body heat with them. They also turn into water vapor and enter the water cycle, just like water evaporating from plant leaves.
