C. HNO₃(aq) + KOH(aq) → KNO₃(aq) + H₂O
The molecular formula =C₆H₁₂O₆

Given
6.00 g of a certain compound X
The molecular molar mass of 180. g/mol
CO₂=8.8 g
H₂O=3.6 g
Required
The molecular formula
Solution
mass C in CO₂ :
= 1.12/44 x 8.8
= 2.4 g
mass H in H₂O :
= 2.1/18 x 3.6
= 0.4 g
Mass O in compound :
= 6-(2.4+0.4)
= 3.2 g
Mol ratio C : H : O
= 2.4/12 : 0.4/1 : 3.2/16
= 0.2 : 0.4 : 0.2
= 1 : 2 : 1
The empirical formula : CH₂O
(CH₂O)n=180 g/mol
(12+2+16)n=180
(30)n=180
n=6
(CH₂O)₆=C₆H₁₂O₆
1.1kg = 1100g
If each paper clip is 0.88g : 1100 / 0.88 = 1250
1250 paper clips in the box
