Answer:

Empirical formula is CH₂O.

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 3.36 g

Mass of carbon = 20.00 g

Mass of oxygen = 26.64 g

Molar mass of compound = 180.156 g/mol

Empirical formula = ?

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of atoms of different elements in small whole number

Number of gram atoms of H = 3.36 / 1.01 = 3.3

Number of gram atoms of O = 26.64 / 16 = 1.7

Number of gram atoms of C = 20 / 12 = 1.7

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :        H            :         O

           1.7/1.7                :     3.3/1.7       :       1.7/1.7

              1                     :           2          :        1

C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

Empirical formula is CH₂O.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass = CH₂O = 12×1 + 2× + 16

Empirical formula mass = 30

n = 180.156 / 30

n = 6

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 6 (CH₂O)

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 4.3 mol of acetic acid (C2H3O2) in 450. mL of solution?
lord [1]

Hey there !


Number of moles of solution: 4.3 moles

Volume in liters:

450.0 mL / 1000 => 0.45 L

Therefore:

Molarity = number of moles / volume of solution ( L)

Molarity = 4.3 / 0.45

=> 9.55 M

Hope that helps!

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Temperature gradient = 30

90F - 60F = 30F

The temperature gradient is 30F.

If I am right, let me know.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

C + O2 -> CO2

C 20.4/12 = 1.7

O 70.4-16.0/16=3.4
