Hello!
We use the amount in grams (mass ratio) based on the composition of the elements, see: (in 100 g solution)
C: 83.7% = 83,7 g
H: 16.3% = 16.3 g
Let us use the above mentioned data (in g) and values will be converted to amount of substance (number of moles) by dividing by molecular mass (g / mol) each of the values, lets see:
We note that the values found above are not integers, so let's divide these values by the smallest of them, so that the proportion is not changed, let's see:
Note: So the ratio in the smallest whole numbers of carbon to hydrogen is 3:7, t<span>hus, the minimum or empirical formula found for the compound will be:
</span>
I hope this helps. =)
