When an element, e, is burned in air, the compound e4o10 is formed. assume that one experiment showed that 0.744 g of e produces 1.704 g of e4o10. use this information to determine the ratio of atomic masses of e and e4o10, and then use the atomic mass of oxygen to determine the atomic mass of e and identify the element for which e stands. (remember: atomic mass and molar mass are numerically equivalent.) (hint: there isn’t enough space below to perform all of the required calculations. you should brainstorm and consider how mass, molar mass, and the ratio of elements that can be determined from the chemical formula are related to each other. try to "see" the connections between these concepts.)

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
