A sample of a compound contains 60.0 g C and 5.05 g H.

divide by molar mass of C(12) and H(1) to get molar ratio

C: 60/12=5 and H: 5/1=5

so C:H=5:5=1:1

total molar mass=78

divide by 1C+1H to find the formula: 78/(12+1)=78/13=6

compound is C6H6

Step 1: Calculate Moles for each Element:

Mole of C  =  60.0 / 12  =  5

Mole of H  =  5.05 / 1.008  =  5.009

Step 2: Calculate Mole Ratio:
                                             Divide each mole value with least mole value.

                                 H     :      C

                     5.009/5       :     5/5

                                  1    :     1
So,
           Empirical Formula  =  C₁H₁ or CnHn      ------ (1)

Step 3: Calculate Molecular Formula:
By using formula,
                               n  =  Molecular Mass / Empirical Formula Mass

Molecular Mass  =  78.12 g/mol

Empirical Formula Mass  =  12 + 1  = 13          ∴ C = 12 & H = 1
So,
                               n  =  78.12 / 13 

                               n  =  6

Putting value of n in eq. 1,
  
                                                  C₆H₆
Result:
            
The correct answer is C₆H₆.

How do you know what numbers in a chemical formula are significant
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

All the numbers in a chemical formula are significant, It is because the numbers in a chemical formula denote the number of different atoms present in the particular compound.

For example in H2SO4 there are 2 H 1 S and 4 O. This means 1 H2SO4 has 2 hydrogen 1 sulphur and 4 oxygen.

Which type of data have elements in common but do not fit into rigid rows and columns in a table?.
Talja [164]

Answer: Semi-structured data is a type of data that has some consistent and definite characteristics. It does not confine into a rigid structure such as that needed for relational databases that which is why  it will not fit into row and columns in a table .

Which member of each pair is more soluble in diethyl ether? Why?<br> (c) MgBr₂(s) or CH₃CH₂MgBr(s)
White raven [17]

CH3CH2MgBr is more soluble in diethyl ether .

We know that polar solvent dissolve in polar solvent very perfectly . as diethyl ether is a polar solvent so it have dipole -dipole interaction .

Hence the compound with similar interaction can dissolve in diethyl  ether .

Here , MgBr2  is an ionic compound . there is ion-ion interactions occurs which is not similar to dipole -dipole interaction in diethyl ether .hence the solubility of MgBr2 in diethyl ether is less .

but in case of CH3CH2MgBr there are both polar and nonpolar end .CH3CH2 is the nonpolar end and MgBr is the polar end .

thus with the nonpolar end solute interact using depression forces and with polar end solute interact using dipole-dipole interaction . so CH3CH2MgBr is more soluble .
