Astudent wants to determine whether or not an unknown substance is a metal by testing its physical properties. which of the following properties would suggest that the substance is probably a metal?

To find the empirical formula you would first need to find the moles of each element: 58.8g/ 12.0g = 4.9 mol c9.9g/ 1.0g = 9.9 mol h31.4g/ 16.0g = 1.96 o then you divide by the smallest number of moles of each: 4.9/1.96 = 2.59.9/1.96 = 61.96/1.96 = 1since there is 2.5, you find the least number that makes each moles a whole number which is 2. so the empirical formula is c5h12o2.

Ibelieve the answer is b. tectonic plates push apart, creating a rubber band affect. when they snap, earthquakes happen.
