We find the weight of the empirical formula:
12.0107 + 2 x 1.00794 + 15.9994
= 30.03
Now, we divide the molecular weight by the weight of the empirical formula to find the number of times the empirical formula repeats:
90.09 / 30.03
= 3
The formula is 3(CH₂O)
C₃H₆O₃
Answer:
See the explanation below, please.
Explanation:
The elements of the periodic table that belong to the same group (each column) have similar physical and chemical properties. This is because they have the same number of electrons in their last electronic layer.
Example of electronic configuration of elements of GROUP IA:
Hydrogen: 1s ^ 1
Lithium: 1s ^ 2 2s ^ 1
<span>A compound is found to be 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.5% oxygen. Its molecular mass is 60. g/mol.
</span>Q1)
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components making up a compound.
the percentages have been given, therefore we can calculate for 100 g of the compound.
C H O
Mass in 100 g 40.0 g 6.7 g 53.5 g
Molar mass 12 g/mol 1 g/mol 16 g/mol
Number of moles 40.0/12= 3.33 6.7/1 = 6.7 53.5/16 = 3.34
Divide by the least number of moles
3.33/3.33 = 1 6.7/3.33 = 2.01 3.34/3.33 = 1.00
after rounding off
C - 1
H - 2
O - 1
Empirical formula - CH₂O
Q2)
Molecular formula is the actual number of components making up the compound.
To find the number of empirical units we have to find the mass of one empirical unit.
Mass of one empirical unit = CH₂O - 12 + (1x2) + 16 = 30 g
Mass of one mole of compound = 60 g
Number of empirical units = 60 g / 30 g = 2
Therefore molecular formula - 2(CH₂O)
Molecular formula - C₂H₄O₂
Answer:
Rubidium is used in vacuum tubes as a getter, a material that combines with and removes trace gases from vacuum tubes. It is also used in the manufacture of photocells and in special glasses. Since it is easily ionized, it might be used as a propellant in ion engines on spacecraft.
