Answer:
The molecular formula of Terephthalic acid =
Explanation:
Taking incomplete things from the original source and assuming,
Mass of water obtained = 16.34 mg
1 mg = 10⁻³ g
Mass of water obtained = 16.34 ×10⁻³ g
Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol
Moles of = 16.34 ×10⁻³ g /18 g/mol = 0.000907778 moles
2 moles of hydrogen atoms are present in 1 mole of water. So,
<u>Moles of H = 2 x 0.000907778 = 0.0018156 moles </u>
Molar mass of H atom = 1.008 g/mol
<u>Mass of H in molecule = 0.0018156 x 1.008 = 0.00183 g </u>
Mass of carbon dioxide obtained = 106.4 mg
1 mg = 10⁻³ g
Mass of carbon dioxide obtained = 106.4 ×10⁻³ g
Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol
<u>Moles of = 106.4 ×10⁻³ g /44.01 g/mol = 0.002418 moles
</u>
1 mole of carbon atoms are present in 1 mole of carbon dioxide. So,
Moles of C = 0.002418 moles
Molar mass of C atom = 12.0107 g/mol
<u>Mass of C in molecule = 0.002418 x 12.0107 = 0.029037 g </u>
Given that the Terephthalic acid only contains hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. So,
Mass of O in the sample = Total mass - Mass of C - Mass of H
Mass of the sample = 50.20 mg
1 mg = 10⁻³ g
Mass of the sample = 50.20 ×10⁻³ g
<u>Mass of O in sample = 50.20 ×10⁻³ g - 0.029037 g - 0.00183 g = 0.019333 g</u>
Molar mass of O = 15.999 g/mol
<u>Moles of O = 0.019333 / 15.999 = 0.0012083 moles </u>
Taking the simplest ratio for H, O and C as:
0.0018156 : 0.0012083 : 0.002418
<u> = 3 : 2 : 4 </u>
The empirical formula is =
Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.
Thus,
Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass
Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...
<u>Mass from the Empirical formula = 4×12 + 8×1 + 16×2= 88 g/mol </u>
Given, Mass = 28.2 g
Moles = 0.170 moles
The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:
Thus,
<u>Molar mass = 165.8824 g/mol </u>
So,
Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass
165.8824 = n × 88
<u>⇒ n = 2 </u>
The molecular formula of Terephthalic acid =
