Hello!
We use the amount in grams (mass ratio) based on the composition of the elements, see: (in 100 g solution)
C: 83.7% = 83,7 g
H: 16.3% = 16.3 g
Let us use the above mentioned data (in g) and values will be converted to amount of substance (number of moles) by dividing by molecular mass (g / mol) each of the values, lets see:


We note that the values found above are not integers, so let's divide these values by the smallest of them, so that the proportion is not changed, let's see:


Note: So the ratio in the smallest whole numbers of carbon to hydrogen is 3:7, t<span>hus, the minimum or empirical formula found for the compound will be:

I hope this helps. =)

Exam 3 Material
Homework Page Without Visible Answers
This page has all of the required homework for the material covered in the third exam of the first semester of General Chemistry. The textbook associated with this homework is CHEMISTRY The Central Science by Brown, LeMay, et.al. The last edition I required students to buy was the 12th edition (CHEMISTRY The Central Science, 12th ed. by Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Murphy and Woodward), but any edition of this text will do for this course.
Note: You are expected to go to the end of chapter problems in your textbook, find similar questions, and work out those problems as well. This is just the required list of problems for quiz purposes. You should also study the Exercises within the chapters. The exercises are worked out examples of the questions at the back of the chapter. The study guide also has worked out examples.
These are bare-bones questions. The textbook questions will have additional information that may be useful and that connects the problems to real life applications, many of them in biology.
Explanation:
Methane CH4
ethane C2H6
propane C3H8
Butane C4H10
pentane C5H12
The study of chemistry helps us understand the nature of the world around us. Chemistry is always developing to keep up with any phenomenon that appears in nature.
Therefore, scientists and chemists are always developing new technologies. However, chemists must very careful when developing these new technologies. They should consider any bad chemical reactions that might occur and also chemicals that harmful to either the individuals or the environment.
