<h3>Answer:</h3>

            Empirical Formula  =  C₃H₈O₃

            Molecular Formula  =  C₃H₈O₃

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Data Given:

                      Mass of Sample  =  9.2 g

                      Mass of Carbon  =  3.6 g

                      Mass of Hydrogen  =  0.8 g

                      Mass of Oxygen  =  9.2 - (3.6 + 0.8) = 4.8 g

Step 1: Calculate Moles of each Element;

                      Moles of C  =  Mass of C ÷ At.Mass of C

                      Moles of C  = 3.6 ÷ 12.01

                      Moles of C  =  0.2997 mol


                      Moles of H  =  Mass of H ÷ At.Mass of H

                      Moles of H  = 0.8 ÷ 1.01

                      Moles of H  =  0.7920 mol


                      Moles of O  =  Mass of O ÷ At.Mass of O

                      Moles of O  = 4.8 ÷ 16.0

                      Moles of O  =  0.3000 mol

Step 2: Find out mole ratio and simplify it;

                C                                        H                                     O

            0.2997                              0.7920                           0.3000

    0.2997/0.2997                  0.7920/0.2997              0.3000/0.2997

               1                                      2.64                                    1.001

Multiply by 3,

               3                               7.92 ≈ 8                                    3

Hence,  Empirical Formula  =  C₃H₈O₃

Step 3: Calculating Molecular Formula:

Molecular formula is calculated by using following formula,

                    Molecular Formula  =  n × Empirical Formula  ---- (1)

Also, n is given as,

                     n  =  Molecular Weight / Empirical Formula Weight

Molecular Weight  =  92 g.mol⁻¹

Empirical Formula Weight  =  12 (C₃) + 1.01 (H₈) + 16 (O₃)  =  92.08 g.mol⁻¹

So,

                     n  =  92 g.mol⁻¹ ÷ 92 g.mol⁻¹

                     n  =  1

Putting Empirical Formula and value of "n" in equation 1,

                    Molecular Formula  = 1 × C₃H₈O₃

                    Molecular Formula  =  C₃H₈O₃

How do I do molarity equations?
ipn [44]
To calculate the molarity of a solution, you divide the moles of solute by the volume of the solution expressed in liters. Note that the volume is in liters of solution and not liters of solvent. When a molarity is reported, the unit is the symbol M and is read as “molar”.
I hope this helped :)

How does elements and compounds reacting together is essential in everyday matters?
MrMuchimi

Chemical reactions are at the essence of just about every biological and physical process in the whole universe. Stars form due to chemical reactions, our sun flamed up also because of chemical reactions in its core. Life basically evolved on Earth as an outcome of chemical reactions. The "circle of life" is, at its quintessence, a sequence of chemical reactions. Also our capacity to move and think  is an outcome of chemical reactions that happen inside our bodies. Chemical reactions are the reason why new forms of matter are created. Chemical reactions make us comprehend the properties of matter. Chemical reactions make food into fuel for our bodies, they make fireworks blow up, they change food when it is cooked, they make soap remove dirt, and a lot more. Chemical reactions contribute to solving crimes and unravel mysteries. We can even find out which planets and moons are most likely to be able to preserve life. The most significant and momentous discovery made by humans, fire, is just a chemical reaction. Nothing would ever change without chemical reactions
