Answer:
The empirical formula = molecular formula = C13H18O2
Explanation:
in 100% compound we have 75.6 % Carbon ( Molar mass = 12g/mole), 8.80% hydrogen ( Molar mass = 1.01 g/mole) and 15.5% Oxygen (Molar mass = 16.01 g/mole).
Carbon: 75.6g / 12 = 6.29
Hydrogen: 8.80/ 1 = 8.80
Oxygen: 15.5/ 16 = 0.97
⇒0.97 is the smallest so we divide everything through by 0.97
C: 6.29 / 0.97 = 6.48 ≈ 6.5
H: 8.80 /0.97 = 9
O: 0.97 / 0.97 = 1
To get rid of decimals, we multiply by 2
C: 6.5 x 2 = 13
H: 9 x 2 = 18
O: 1 x 2 = 2
The empirical formula = C13H18O2
13x 12g/mol + 18x1g/mol + 2x 16g/mol = 156 + 18 + 32 = 206g/mol which is the molar mass of ibuprofen
The empirical formula = molecular formula = C13H18O2
The tree I know is producer
Zinc because the only metals that would be able to reduce copper ions in solution would be hydrogen, lead, tin, nickel, iron, zinc, aluminum, Magnesium, sodium, calcium, potassium, and lithium. and according to your answer choices Zinc is the answer.
