The number of atoms of each element :
C : 1 atom
H : 3 atoms
Br = 1 atom
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Bromomethane-CH₃Br
Required
The number of atoms
Solution
The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.
A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.
The number of atoms in a compound is generally indicated as a subscript after the atom
C : 1 atom
H : 3 atoms
Br = 1 atom
Total 5 atoms
True when the boron control rods are lowered it slows the reaction
The empirical formula, <span>C<span>H2</span></span>, has a relative molecular mass of
<span>1×<span>(12.01)</span>+2×<span>(1.01)</span>=14.04</span>
This means that the empirical formula must be multiplied by a factor to bring up its molecular weight to 70. This factor can be calculated as the ratio of the relative masses of the molecular and empirical formulas
<span><span>7014.04</span>=4.98≈5</span>
Remember that subscripts in molecular formulas must be in whole numbers, hence the rounding-off. Finally, the molecular formula is
<span><span>C<span>1×5</span></span><span>H<span>2×5</span></span>=<span>C5</span><span>H<span>10</span></span></span>
