Chemistry is the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change and the use of these processes to form new substances.
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound
in 100 g of compound
C H O
mass 25.5 g 6.40 g 68.1 g
number of moles 25.5 g/12 g/mol 6.40 g/ 1 g/mol 68.1 g/ 16 g/mol
= 2.13 mol = 6.40 mol = 4.26 mol
divide by least number of moles
2.13/2.13 = 1 6.40/2.13 = 3.0 4.26/2.13 = 2.0
all rounded off
C - 1
H - 3
O - 2
empirical formula - CH₃O₂
Answer:
You take the mass of carbon dioxide, 56.8g, divide by its molar mass, 44.01g/mol, to produce the moles of carbon dioxide. This is multiplied by the molar ratio of butane/CO2, (2/8) = 1/4, which gives the moles of butane required to produce the carbon dioxide.
