You're one of the most famous people on here :)

Answer 7

Why thank you. I surely am.

Anyways, assume you have 100% of each material. So what you do is divide each percentage by the molecular mass of each element. That should give you a number, which is also your formula.

Answer 8

I don't know the molecular masses though

Answer 9

Look at your periodic table.

What you can also do is add up all the molecular masses of each element. As you can see, you are ALREADY given the molar mass of the "colorless liquid". and they tell you that it has a molar mass of 60.01!

You can find molar masses of each element here: http://www.ptable.com/

Dude, calculate the mass of EACH comppound that you have. Which one of the choices adds up to 60????? That's the compound you have!!
