The molecular formula is C9H24O6

Given the Mass of C = 47.37g ,Mass of H = 10.59g and Mass of O = 42.04g

The total mass of these elements is 100g, taking a proportion of their molar masses.

C = 47.37/12= 3.95

H = 10.59/1 = 10.59

O = 42.04/16= 2.63.

Dividing with the smallest proportion which is 2.63

C=3.95/2.63 = 1.5

H =10.59/2.63 =4

O = 2.63/2.63= 1

Multiplying by 2 to get a whole number.

C = 1.5x2 = 3

H= 4x2 = 8

O = 1x2= 2

The empirical formula is C3H6O2

(Empirical formula)n= molecular mass

(C3H8O2)n =228.276

(12x3 +8+16x2)n= 228.276

76n = 228.276

n = 228.276/76

n = 3

Molecular formula = (Empirical formula)n

= (C3H8O2)3 = C9H24O6

The molecular formula is C9H24O6

What is the concentration of a sodium hydroxide solution if 14.5 mL of it are exactly neutralized by 30.0 mL of a 0.500 M hydroc
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

1.03 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

NaOH + HCl ⇒ NaCl + H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the reacting moles of HCl

30.0 mL (0.0300 L) of 0.500 M HCl react.

0.0300 L × 0.500 mol/L = 0.0150 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of NaOH that react with 0.0150 moles of HCl

The molar ratio of NaOH to HCl is 1:1. The moles of NaOH that react are 1/1 × 0.0150 mol = 0.0150 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the molar concentration of NaOH

0.0150 moles of NaOH are in 14.5 mL (0.0145 L).

M = 0.0150 mol/0.0145 L = 1.03 M
