The molecular formula for each of the following compound given the data is

  • C₂H₆
  • C₂H₂
  • C₄H₈Cl₂

<h3>A. How to determine the molecular formula </h3>

We'll begin by calculating the empirical formula. This can be obtained as follow:

  • C = 80%
  • H = 20%
  • Empirical formula =?

Divide by their molar mass

C = 80 / 12 = 6.67

H = 20 / 1 = 20

Divide by the smallest

C = 6.67 / 6.67 = 1

H = 20 / 6.67 = 3

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound CH₃

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound can be obtained as follow

  • Empirical formula = CH₃
  • Molar mass of compound = 30 g/mol
  • Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula = empirical × n = mass number

[CH₃]n = 30

[12 + (3×1)]n = 30

15n = 30

Divide both side by 15

n = 30 / 15

n = 2

Molecular formula = [CH₃]n

Molecular formula = [CH₃]₂

Molecular formula = C₂H₆

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound is C₂H₆

<h3>B. How to determine the molecular formula </h3>

We'll begin by calculating the empirical formula. This can be obtained as follow:

  • C = 92.3%
  • H = 7.7%
  • Empirical formula =?

Divide by their molar mass

C = 92.3 / 12 = 7.7

H = 7.7 / 1 = 7.7

Divide by the smallest

C = 7.7 / 7.7 = 1

H = 7.7 / 7.7 = 1

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound CH

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound can be obtained as follow

  • Empirical formula = CH
  • Molar mass of compound = 26 g/mol
  • Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula = empirical × n = mass number

[CH]n = 26

[12 + 1]n = 26

13n = 26

Divide both side by 13

n = 26 / 13

n = 2

Molecular formula = [CH]n

Molecular formula = [CH]₂

Molecular formula = C₂H₂

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound is C₂H₂

<h3>C. How to determine the molecular formula </h3>

We'll begin by calculating the empirical formula. This can be obtained as follow:

  • C = 37.5%
  • H = 6.3%
  • Cl = 55.8%
  • Empirical formula =?

Divide by their molar mass

C = 37.5 / 12 = 3.125

H = 6.3 / 1 = 6.3

Cl = 55.8 / 35.5 = 1.572

Divide by the smallest

C = 3.125 / 1.572 = 2

H = 6.3 / 1.572 = 4

Cl = 1.572 / 1.572 = 1

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound C₂H₄Cl

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound can be obtained as follow

  • Empirical formula = C₂H₄Cl
  • Molar mass of compound = 127 g/mol
  • Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula = empirical × n = mass number

[C₂H₄Cl]n = 127

[(2×12) + (4×1) + 35.5]n = 127

63.5n = 127

Divide both side by 63.5

n = 127 / 63.5

n = 2

Molecular formula = [C₂H₄Cl]n

Molecular formula = [C₂H₄Cl]₂

Molecular formula = C₄H₈Cl₂

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound is C₄H₈Cl₂

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width. Why is area called a derived quantity?
shusha [124]

Explanation:

Derived quantities are quantities that are calculated from two or more measurements. They include area, volume, and density. The area of a rectangular surface is calculated as its length multiplied by its width. The volume of a rectangular solid is calculated as the product of its length, width, and height.

1. Which combinations of substances resulted in a chemical change?(no answer choices)
Lunna [17]

All chemical reaction between substances results into a chemical change. When two substances just like HCL and NaOH reacts with each other, NaCl means Sodium Chloride salt is formed.  

The phenomenon like change in color, change in temperature, release of gas etc when happens ,then it means chemical change has been occurred. e.g

HCl +NaOH ----> NaCl +H2O.
