One mole of an unknown compound has 36.04g of carbon and 6.04g of hydrogen. what is the compound's empirical formula?

The answer is: the compound's empirical formula is CH₂.

m(C) = 36.04 g; mass of carbon.

M(C) = 12.01 g/mol; molar mass of carbon.

n(C) = m(C) ÷ M(C).

n(C) = 36.04 g ÷ 12.01 g/mol.

n(C) = 3 mol; amount of carbon.

m(H) = 6.04 g; mass of hydrogen.

n(H) = 6.04 g ÷ 1.007 g/mol.

n(H) = 6 mol; amount of hydrogen.

n(C) : n(H) = 3 mol : 6 mol.

n(C) : n(H) = 1 mol : 2 mol.

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
