Explain why the percent composition of certain compounds are not sufficient to determine the compounds molecular formulas?
Because unlike the empirical formula, the molecular formula does not have to be the simplest ratio.If by chance you are given the percent composition of the elements in a substance, you could calculate the empirical formula and then the empirical formula's mass. However, the molecular formula equation is molecular formula= (empirical formula)n, where n is the mass of the molecular formula divided by the mass of the empirical formula. You would, therefore, need to know the mass belonging to the molecular formula, which you are not given.
How do you know if the the chemical formula helps in identifying whether a substance is ionic or covalent?
Generally compounds formed between nonmetals are covalent.
Suppose youre given the formula R s 2t If you know that s is three times greater than t how could you rewrite the formula?
b is the answer
What is the chemical formula of guava juice?
I do not know the exact chemical formula.. But it is rich in calcium, vitamin & phosphorus. You can easily prepare guava juice by the steps given in reference.
What does it mean by substance A in paper?
If you mean what substances are present in paper, then it is principally cellulose. If you are asking about substance A in a question paper, it's a way of referring to an unknown substance so it can ask you questions based on the information given about it. For instance, if it says 'substance A turns damp red litmus blue' then you know that substance A is an acid.

What other information is required to know whether a formula is both empirical and molecular?
We need to know the elements contained in this molecule and the percentages.
How do you know when to solve for a empirical formula?
If it tells you to find the empirical formula when percent composition is given or if the mass of each element is given in a specific compound.
Is water organic or inorganic and how do you know?
Inorganic, as it doesn't have any Carbon in it.
How do you know if an element is organic or inorganic?
All elements are considered as inorganic
Is it necessary to know the formula of a compound in order to calculate its percent composition?
YES.For one to know the percentage composition,the amount of moles of the reacting element must be considered using the compound. •Well you dont really have to know just the formula. You can eaither use the formula if its given or the molar mass if its given. i just recently did a test where i was given either the Molar mass or Formula name and i had to figure out the percent composition. so it depends on the info given.

woudn't u like 2 know!
How do you know if a covalent bond will form given a molecular formula?
This is based upon the chemical characteristics of the elements that are present within the molecular formula.
