When we write a formula of a compound in its simplest form, it is empirical formula.
Given the molecular formula is = C₁₈H₃₆
Now we can relate both empirical and molecular formula as;
Molecular formula = n x empirical formula
C₁₈H₃₆ = 18 x CH₂
So the empirical formula of C₁₈H₃₆ is CH₂
Answer:
Mass of water = 41.8 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of water = ?
Change in temperature = 3.0 °C
Specific heat capacity = 4.184 j/g.°C
Heat absorbed = 525 j
Solution:
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
ΔT = 3.0°C
Now we will put the values in formula.
525 J = m × 4.184 j/g.°C × 3.0°C
525 J = m × 12.552 j/g
m = 525 J/ 12.552 j/g
m = 41.8 g
Ionic compound consists of a positively charged ion and a negatively charged anion. For example, NaCl. Na (sodium) is a cation (another word for positively charged ion) and Cl (chloride) is a anion (another way for negatively charged ion.)
Molecular compounds consists of only negatively charged ions. For example Br2I is a compound of 2 elements that are negatively charged.
Unlike ionic compounds, molecular compounds consists of two or more negatively charged elements.
