Answer:

The empirical formula is C2H4O3

The molecular formula is C4H8O6

The molar mass is 152 g/mol

Explanation:

The complete question is: An unknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion analysis of the compound gives mass percents of 31.57% C and 5.30% H. The molar mass is determined by measuring the freezing-point depression of an aqueous solution. A freezing point of -5.20°C is recorded for a solution made by dissolving 10.56 g of the compound in 25.0 g water. Determine the empirical formula, molar mass, and molecular formula of the compound. Assume that the compound is a nonelectrolyte.

Step 1: Data given

Mass % of Carbon = 31.57 %

Mass % of H = 5.30 %

Freezing point = -5.20 °C

10.56 grams of the compound dissolved in 25.0 grams of water

Kf water = 1.86 °C kg/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of Carbon

Suppose 31.57% = 31.57 grams

moles C = mass C / Molar mass C

moles C = 31.57 grams / 12.0 g/mol = 2.63 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of Hydrogen:

Moles H = 5.30 grams / 1.01 g/mol

moles H = 5.25 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of Oxygen

Moles O = ( 100 - 31.57 - 5.30) / 16 g/mol

Moles O = 3.95 moles

Step 5: We divide by the smallest number of moles

C: 2.63 / 2.63 = 1 → 2

H: 5.25/2.63 = 2 → 4

O: 3.95/ 2.63 = 1.5 → 3

The empirical formula is C2H4O3

The molar mass of the empirical formula = 76 g/mol

Step 6: Calculate moles solute

Freezing point depression = 5.20 °C = m * 1.86

m = 5.20 / 1.86

m = 2.80 molal = 2.80 moles / kg

2.80 molal * 0.025 kg = 0.07 moles

Step 7: Calculate molar mass

Molar mass = mass / moles

Molar mass = 10.56 grams / 0.07 moles

Molar mass = 151 g/mol

Step 8: Calculate molecular formula

151 / 76 ≈  2

We have to multiply the empirical formula by 2

2*(C2H4O3) = C4H8O6

The molecular formula is C4H8O6

The molar mass is 152 g/mol

Name the type of bond in organic chemistry that corresponds to a glycoside bond
Semenov [28]

Answer:

covalent bond

Explanation:

The bond which is most common in the organic molecules is the covalent bond which involves sharing of the electrons between the two atoms.

Glycosidic bond, also known as glycosidic linkage is type of the covalent bond which joins carbohydrate molecule to other group that may not or may be a carbohydrate.

Glycosidic bond is the bond which is formed between hemiacetal or hemiketal group of the saccharide and hydroxyl group of compounds like alcohol.
