Answer:
The answer to your question is C₂HO₃
Explanation:
Data
Hydrogen = 3.25%
Carbon = 19.36%
Oxygen = 77.39%
Process
1.- Write the percent as grams
Hydrogen = 3.25 g
Carbon = 19.36 g
Oxygen = 77.39 g
2.- Convert the grams to moles
1 g of H ----------------- 1 mol
3,25 g of H ------------- x
x = (3.25 x 1) / 1
x = 3.25 moles
12 g of C ---------------- 1 mol
19.36 g of C ---------- x
x = (19.36 x 1) / 12
x = 1.61 moles
16g of O --------------- 1 mol
77.39 g of O --------- x
x = (77.39 x 1)/16
x = 4.83
3.- Divide by the lowest number of moles
Carbon = 3.25/1.61 = 2
Hydrogen = 1.61/1.61 = 1
Oxygen = 4.83/1.61 = 3
4.- Write the empirical formula
C₂HO₃
As we move down the group, the metallic bond becomes more stable and the formation of forming covalent bond decreases down the group due to the large size of elements.
Covalent and metallic bonding leads to higher melting points. Due to a decrease in attractive forces from carbon to lead there is a drop in melting point.
Carbon forms large covalent molecules than silicon and hence has a higher melting point than silicon.
Similarly, Ge also forms a large number of covalent bonds and has a smaller size as compared to that of Sn. Hence melting point decreases from Ge to Sn.
The order will be C>Si>Ge>Pb>Sn.
