Given the molecular formula is = C₁₈H₃₆
Now we can relate both empirical and molecular formula as;
Molecular formula = n x empirical formula
C₁₈H₃₆ = 18 x CH₂
So the empirical formula of C₁₈H₃₆ is CH₂

How many liters of C3H6O are present in a sample weighing 25.6 grams?
Romashka [77]

Answer:

V = 0.0327 L.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the liters of C3H6O by the definition of density. We can tell the density of this substance as that of acetone (0.784 g/mL) and therefore calculate the liters as shown below:

V=25.6g*\frac{1mL}{0.784g}*\frac{1L}{1000mL}\\\\V=0.0327L

Regards!
