Analysis of a sample of a compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen shows that the sample contains 18.80 g of C, 2.367 g of H, and 25.04 g of O. The properties of the compound suggest that the molar mass should be 59.04 g/mol. How many carbon atoms are there in one molecule of the compound

Analysis of a sample of a compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen shows that the sample contains 18.80 g of C, 2.367 g of H, and 25.04 g of O.

The properties of the compound suggest that the molar mass should be 59.04 g/mol.

How many carbon atoms are there in one molecule of the compound?

Explanation:

Empirical formula mass is

Empirical formula mass =molecular formula mass

Hence,

empirical formula is same as molecular formula.

That is --- .

So, the molecule has two carbon atoms in one molecule of the compound.

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.
