Molecular formula of compound is C4H10

Answer: C_4H_{10}

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

To calculate the molecular formula, we need to find the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

Given empirical formula is C_2H_5 Empirical mass =2\times 12+1\times 5=29amu

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}=\frac{58}{29}=2

The molecular formula will be C_2H_5\times 2=C_4H_{10}

QUICK QUESTION: On the Bohr model, how come potassium has 19 electrons in its valence shell if potassium has a K+? Isn’t it supp
Vlada [557]

Answer:  K only has 1 valence electron.  It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.

Explanation:  A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons.  But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell.  Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals.  Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1.  The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level.  So it has a valency of 1.  This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4).  When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1.  The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.
