October 15, 2018 at 1:49 PM Dioxybenzone is a compound found in sunscreen, and only contains carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Analysis of the compound found that it contains 4.92% hydrogen and 26.18% oxygen. The molar mass of the compound is 244.25 g/mol. What is the molecular formula?

Molecular formula for Dioxybenzone is C₁₄H₁₂O₄

Explanation:

Percent composition:

In 100 g of compound → 4.92 g are H

In 100 g of compound → 26.8 g are O

In 100 g of compound → 68.28 g are C

Let's convert the mass to moles by molar mass:

4.92 g / 1 g/mol = 4.92 moles H

26.8 g / 16 g/mol = 1.67 moles O

68.28 g / 12 g/mol = 5.69 moles C

Now we can apply a rule of three:

100 g of compound have 4.92 moles H, 1.67 moles O, 5.69 moles C

244.25 g of compound must have:

(244.25 g . 4.92 m) / 100 g = 12 moles H

(244.25 g . 1.67 m) / 100 g = 4 moles O

(244.25 g . 5.69 m) / 100 g = 14 moles of C

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.

the electron configuration that you gave me has 16 electrons ergo it has 16 protons ergo it is the element sulfur.
