I need help to question both 18 & 19.

The concept of empiricism states that all rationally accepted knowledge is determined from experience. francis bacon was one of the first scientists to promote this theory. what was it’s impact on society?

1. suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 ml of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [ch2(cn)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. the solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 ml, and in water is 13.3 g/100 ml. what weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-ml portions of ether and (b) one 300-ml portion of ether? suggestion: for each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. in part (a), the concentration in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30 x)/300; the ratio of these quantities is equal to k 20/13.3.

The covalent compound acetylene, which is the fuel of the oxyacetylene torch used by welders, has the molecular formula c2h2. the covalent compound benzene, a commercial solvent, has the molecular formula c6h6 each of these covalent compounds contains carbon and hydrogen atoms in a one-to-one ratio. would it be correct to write the chemical formulas of each as ch? explain.
