  • C. Ionic formula
  • D. Covalent formula

Explanation: The molecular formula provides information about the elements present in the compound and their respective ratios.

Correct answer: Molecular formula
  • A. C4H6
  • B. C6H6O
  • C. C2H4
  • D. C3H6O

Explanation: X + O2 --> CO2 + H2OMoles of Co2= 88/44= 2Moles of H2O= 36/18= 2So the compound X has 2 moles of C and 4 moles of H(its H2 in H2O, so…

Correct answer: C2H4
  • A. CH2O
  • B. C2H4O2
  • C. C6H12O6
  • D. C3H6O3

Explanation: Molecular Formula shows actual ratios of atoms present in each molecule, so it has 6 C, 12 H, 6 O, so Molecular formula is C6H12O6.

Correct answer: C6H12O6
  • A. C6H12O6
  • B. C6H6O2
  • C. C12H22O11
  • D. All

Explanation: Because its atom's ratios cannot be simplified, so E.F and M.F are the same

Correct answer: C12H22O11
  • A. 80 moles of atoms
  • B. 40 moles of hydrogen atoms
  • C. 30 moles of electrons
  • D. 30 moles of oxygen atoms

Explanation: 2H + O --> H2OH : H2O2 : 1X : 20X=40 moles of hydrogen atom. (Correct)

Correct answer: 40 moles of hydrogen atoms
  • A. 4
  • B. 8
  • C. 16
  • D. 32

Explanation: H2 + O -> H2O=>O : H2O 1 : 1 X : 0.5 X= 0.5 mol of O atom=> Mole=Mass/Mr Mass=Mole x Mr Mass= 0.5 x 16 Mass= 8 g
