To find the empirical formula you would first need to find the moles of each element:
58.8g/ 12.0g = 4.9 mol C
9.9g/ 1.0g = 9.9 mol H
31.4g/ 16.0g = 1.96 O
Then you divide by the smallest number of moles of each:
4.9/1.96 = 2.5
9.9/1.96 = 6
1.96/1.96 = 1
Since there is 2.5, you find the least number that makes each moles a whole number which is 2.
So the empirical formula is C5H12O2.
Answer:
Explanation:
From the given information:
TO start with the molarity of the solution:

= 0.601 mol/kg
= 0.601 m
At the freezing point, the depression of the solution is 

Using the depression in freezing point, the molar depression constant of the solvent 


The freezing point of the solution 

The molality of the solution is:

Molar depression constant of solvent X, 
Hence, using the elevation in boiling point;
the Vant'Hoff factor
