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:
WAIT
good luck on whatever this is for my dude.
Answer:
Compound B has greater molar mass.
Explanation:
The depression in freezing point is given by ;
..[1]

Where:
i = van't Hoff factor
= Molal depression constant
m = molality of the solution
According to question , solution with 5.00 g of A in 100.0 grams of water froze at at lower temperature than solution with 5.00 g of B in 100.0 grams of water.
The depression in freezing point of solution with A solute: 
Molar mass of A = 
The depression in freezing point of solution with B solute: 
Molar mass of B = 

As we can see in [1] , that depression in freezing point is inversely related to molar mass of the solute.


This means compound B has greater molar mass than compound A,
