Do) 17. A compound containins 27.3 grams of carbon and 72.7 grams of oxygen. Which
of the following is a possible molecular formula?
D
CLE

The possible molecular formula will be

Explanation:

Mass of C= 27.3 g

Mass of O = 72.7 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =

Moles of O =

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C =

For O =

The ratio of C : O = 1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is

The possible molecular formula will be=

? you expect us to answer this? ? this is your schoolwork, i don't think we can with this, i think it would considering being

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
