The compound methyl butanoate smells like apples. Its percent composition is 58.8% C, 9.9% H, and 31.4% O. What’s the empirical
formula ?
1 answer:
To find the empirical formula you would first need to find the moles of each element:
58.8g/ 12.0g = 4.9 mol C
9.9g/ 1.0g = 9.9 mol H
31.4g/ 16.0g = 1.96 O
Then you divide by the smallest number of moles of each:
4.9/1.96 = 2.5
9.9/1.96 = 6
1.96/1.96 = 1
Since there is 2.5, you find the least number that makes each moles a whole number which is 2.
So the empirical formula is C5H12O2.

That would be more
Explanation:
Okay so i think the answer to this is.
weight=mg
m=0.000100 g=9.80
so weight= 0.00980 kgm/s2
Hopefully thats correct (i am horrible at math)

Explanation:
move the decimal place over 23 places to the right
1.94 moles
I did 35/18.02 because 18.02 is the molar mass of water
