Explain how you would find the number of moles of carbon in 4.5 kg of carbon.
UkoKoshka [18]
In a simplified version, check the number carbon atoms present and multiply by its relative atomic mass. Later divide by the given mass (4.5 x 1000 = 4500g) and you’ll get the number of mole of carbon

Select the correct empirical formula for each molecular formula given.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

CH₂O

Explanation:

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of atoms of different elements in small whole number.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula shows the actual whole number ratio of elements present in compound.

Given molecular formula: C₆H₁₂O₆

Empirical formula = CH₂O

In molecular formula six moles of carbon six moles of oxygen and 12 moles of hydrogen are present.

To get the smallest whole number we divide the each number by 6 and we get CH₂O which is empirical formula of C₆H₁₂O₆.
