The molecular formula of the compound that we are required to find is the compound C4H8O8

<h3>What is empirical formula?</h3>

The empirical formula of a compound is a formula that shows the ratio of each atom present in the compound. We will start by dividing each mass with the relative atomic mass of the atom.

Carbon - 48.38 g/12 Hydrogen - 6.74 g/1 Oxygen - 53.5 g/16

Carbon - 4 Hydrogen - 6.74 Oxygen - 8.9

Dividing through by the lowest ratio;

Carbon - 4/4 Hydrogen - 6.74/4 Oxygen 8.9/4

Carbon 1 Hydrogen 2 Oxygen 2

The empirical formula is CH2O2.

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Titration

Explanation:

The best technique which can be used to determine the number of moles of the HCl in the sample is titration.

The given amount of HCl solution must be titrated with known concentration of the base like NaOH.

The volume of NaOH required must be noted also.

According to the reaction,

$NaOH+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O$

At equivalence point

Moles of $HCl$ = Moles of $NaOH$

Considering:-

Moles of $HCl=Molarity_{NaOH}\times Volume_{NaOH}$

Thus, in this way, moles of HCl can be determined.

Liquid Q is a polar solvent and liquid R is a nonpolar solvent. On the basis of this information, you would expect:

bearhunter [10]

4) is correct
This is because water is polar and it will mix with a polar solvent. A good rule for remembering the behavior of non-polar and polar compounds when it comes to being miscible is that "like dissolves like."
