Follow the steps, practice, and you’ll be able to solve these types of problems with no problem. Next, multiply all the subscripts in CH 5N by 2.Divide 62.11 by 31.0571 and this will give you 2. First determine the molar mass of the empirical formula, which is 31.0571 g/mol.If the molar mass of the unknown compound is 62.11 g/mol, what is the molecular formula. Let’s continue with the example we were working through. This will give you the molecular formula. ![]()

![]() ![]() Lunch in the cafeteria in B1 (the first basement of my building) on average comes to a total of 16 yuan, US $2. A breakfast of milk and 3 dumplings goes for the whooping price of 4 yuan, or US 50 cents. ![]() $3.40 a day will accommodate most everyone. My roommate says a grocery store attendant might make 400 yuan a month but share a room with a coworker and have breakfast and dinner provided at work. This is clearly not enough money to live (even my crummy dormitory room is 60 yuan a night) so companies provide very subsidized (or even free) housing. The lower classes, as he and I discussed tonight over dinner, might make at most 400 yuan a month. This puts him easily in the middle class. For those playing along, that's US $3.40 a day for food and US $375 a month (US $18.75 a day or US $2.34 an hour for an eight hour work day). My roommate here (who's name I say to myself every night before I go to bed, kind of like counting sheep) makes 150 yuan a day and has a 27 yuan food allowance. I do like being sarcastic, but I'm going to attempt to sacrifice humor for a bit of reality now. Thailand, for instance had great Pad Thai for about 20 baht when the exchange rate was about 33 baht to the US dollar. So I've done a bit of traveling (thanks to the parents whom either felt it would broaden my education or quiet the house), and I've had the luxury of US $1 meals. Oh wait, thats because it has never happened. I can't remember the last time I could get a huge meal for 4 dollars in the US. but instead I'll let you infer my take on this subject matter but asking you to think for yourself and draw your own conclusions about the world around you (without, say any outside influences guiding you one way or the other). I suppose this is where I am supposed to make some puissant statement. The general perspective I got from both conversations was this: the government in China is helping the people accomplish there goals and they are doing a good job! Both of my friends concluded with: (again, as if this was part of their final exam for conformity-101) while this form of government could not work in america, an american government could not work in China. He told me China just finished a railroad there. I thought maybe this was just one persons view, but after spending one afternoon at the Summer Palace (the emperor and empress summer escape which was really really amazing) with my friend Lin, Wei (first name Wei last name Lin but pronounced Lin Wei) his comment was: "oh yeah, I heard once that the rest of the world calls that area Tibet or something". He even drew analogies of parents protecting their children from R rated movies. His responses sounded almost prepared, as though there was some required 100 level course at university that brain-washed everyone into thinking big brother was doing them all a favor. The rest of the dinner conversation discussed the general internet censoring phenomena. His most recent use was after I asked if Chinese have platonic relationships before marriage: that is impossible!). When I told him that many other parts of the world think Taiwan AND Tibet are their own countries (or at least Tibet is trying hard) he told me that was impossible (a phrase he says from time to time that always makes me laugh. Furthermore, news about Taiwan Island is never about business or politics. The news casters use it too (the ones that speak in English at least). Personally, I love the appended "Island". ![]() He went on to tell me that only one part of China has ever tried to break away from the republic, Taiwan Island. He was affirmative with his statement, but also very patient. His reaction: "what, no, Lhasa is part of China, it has always been a part of China!" Realize that he said this with no hostility. So I asked him what he thought Tibet declaring itself independent. When he realized where I was talking about he exclaimed, "oh, you mean Lhasa province!" I had to explain it to him by drawing India in the air with my fingers, then Nepal, and finally Tibet. Neither was Tibot, or Tiebet, or Tebet, or Tabet, or any other weird way I could think of pronouncing it. So I approached the topic in the least intrusive manner possible: over dinner I told my roommate that I really wanted to travel to Tibet! It kind of backfired. I had to know how people (educated Chinese mostly) felt about this. All web traffic I initiate from there comes back through the Chinese filters as pixels (to display the remote desktop). Censorship is a very real part of Chinese living.Īt work I remote desktop into my box at MSR Silicon Valley.
