Explain why an empirical formula alone cannot be used to derive the actual molecular formula for a given compound. Provide one or more examples.

Joseph has hypothesized that sound travels in waves. if he were following the scientific method, what should he do next? a. ask a question. b. test the hypothesis. c. study the results. d. tell other scientists about his hypothesis.

In a laboratory, 1.55mg of an organic compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen is burned for analysis. this combustion resulted in the formation of 1.45mg of carbon dioxide and .89 mg of water. what is the empirical formula for this compound?

What is the typical rotational frequency frot for a molecule like n2 at room temperature (25∘c)? assume that d for this molecule is 1å=10−10m. take the total mass of an n2 molecule to be mn2=4.65×10−26kg. you will need to account for rotations around two axes (not just one) to find the correct frequency. express frot numerically in hertz, to three significant figures.
