Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up the compound. the molecular formula is the actual ratio of components making up the compound.

the empirical formula is CH₂. We can find the mass of CH₂ one empirical unit and have to then find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula.

Mass of one empirical unit - CH₂ - 12 g/mol x 1 + 1 g/mol x 2 = 12 = 14 g

Molar mass of the compound is - 252 .5 g/mol

number of empirical units = molar mass / mass of empirical unit

                                           = \frac{252.5 g/mol}{14 g}

                                           = 18 units

Therefore molecular formula is - 18 times the empirical formula

molecular formula  - CH₂ x 18 = C₁₈H₃₆                                            

molecular formula is C₁₈H₃₆

Why did you have to form a diastereomeric salt from one of the enantiomers of ibuprofen? Choose two Group of answer choices It i
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Correct answers: 2 and 3

Explanation:

1- correct would be: Isolation of ibuprofen is not dangerous, but it is necessary because only one enantiomer has effect on interaction with biologic <em>diana</em>

<em>2: Correct! This property of diastereomeric salts (differing solubilities) is really useful for the isolation of the original enantiomers</em>

<em>3: Correct! we can only observe their properties, like polirized light rotation or separation in an assimetric column for chromatography.</em>

4: correct would be: diastereomeric salts do not rotate light, they have lost the property of anantiomers that originated them

The molar ratio of HPO42- to H2PO4- in a solution is 1.4. Calculate the pH of the solution. Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is a triprot
Bezzdna [24]

Given is the ratio of conjugate base and conjugate acid of phosphoric acid. pH of a substance is the concentration of the hydrogen ions in its solution and higher this concentration lower is the value of pH.

pKa value is a measure of the strength of acid, it is the negative log of acid dissociation constant Ka.

The molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 4.11 g of NaI in enough water to prepare 312 mL of solution is
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is 8.79 × 10⁻² M.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the mass of NaI given is 4.11 grams. The molecular mass of NaI is 149.89 gram per mole. The moles of NaI can be determined by using the formula,

No. of moles of NaI = Weight of NaI/ Molecular mass

= 4.11 / 149.89

= 0.027420

The vol. of the solution given is 312 ml or 0.312 L

The molarity can be determined by using the formula,

Molarity = No. of moles/ Volume of the solution in L

= 0.027420/0.312

= 0.0879 M or 8.79 × 10⁻² M
