Answer:

molecular formula = C₃H₆O₃

Explanation:

The empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound obtained by converting the moles of each atom to the simplest ratio.

In order to determine the molecular formula we will first calculate the empirical formula mass of compound.

Empirical formula mass = mass of C + 2 X mass of hydrogen + mass of O

Empirical formula mass = 12 + 2 +16 = 30

given molecular mass = 90.087

Let us divide the molecular mass by Empirical formula mass

ratio = 90.087 / 30 = 3 (approx)

Thus the molecular formula = 3 X empirical formula of compound

molecular formula = 3 (CH₂O)

molecular formula = C₃H₆O₃

To find the molecular formula of the compound, we get the molar mass of empirical formula CH2o which is 30 g/mol. We divided  the molecular mass of 90.087 g/mol by 30, we get 3. Hence, we multiply each element by 3, getting the molecular formula of C3H6O3.

Explain the similarities and differences between putting a beaker of ethanoic acid in the refrigerator and mixing it with sodium
frez [133]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When a beaker of ethanoic acid is placed in the refrigerator, its temperature drops and the vessel feels cool.

Now, when we mix ethanoic acid and sodium carbonate, an endothermic reaction occurs, fizzing is observed as carbon dioxide is given off and heat is lost to the surroundings causing the reaction vessel to feel cool to touch.

The difference between putting ethanoic acid in the refrigerator and adding  sodium carbonate to the solution is that, in the former, no new substance is formed. The substance remains ethanoic acid when retrieved from the refrigerator. In the later case, new substances are formed. The substance is no more ethanoic acid because a chemical reaction has taken place.
