Answer:

%C = 85.71 wt%; %H = 14.29 wt%; Empirical Formula => CH₂; Molecular Formula => C₃H₆

Explanation:

%Composition

Wt C = 6 g

Wt H = 1 g

TTL Wt = 6g + 1g = 7g

%C per 100wt = (6/7)100% = 85.71 wt%

%H per 100wt = (1/7)100% = 14.29 wt % or, %H = 100% - %C = 100% - 85.71% = 14.29 wt% H

What you should know when working empirical formula and molecular formula problems.

Empirical Formula=> <u>smallest</u> whole number ratio of elements in a compound

Molecular Formula => <u>actual</u> whole number ratio of elements in a compound

Empirical Formula Weight x Whole Number Multiple = Molecular Weight

From elemental %composition values given (or, determined as above), the empirical formula type problem follows a very repeatable pattern. This is ...

% => grams => moles => ratio => reduce ratio => empirical ratio

for determination of molecular formula one uses the empirical weight - molecular weight relationship above to determine the whole number multiple for the molecular ratios.

Caution => In some 'textbook' empirical formula problems, the empirical ratio may contain a fraction in the amount of 0.25, 0.50 or 0.75. If such an issue arises, multiply all empirical ratio numbers containing 0.25 and/or 0.75 by '4'  to get the empirical ratio and multiply all empirical ration numbers containing 0.50 by '2' to get the final empirical ratio.

This problem:

Empirical Formula:

Using the % per 100wt values in part 'a' ...

              %     =>         grams                 =>                 moles

%C => 85.71% => 85.71 g* / 100 g Cpd => (85.71 / 12) = 7.14 mol C

%H => 14.29% => 14.29 g / 100 g Cpd => (14.29 / 1) = 14.29 mol H

=> Set up mole Ratio and Reduce to Empirical Ratio:

mole ratio C:H =>  7.14 : 14.29

<u>To reduce mole values to the smallest whole number ratio,  divide all mole values by the smaller mole value of the set.</u>

=> 7.14/7.14 : 14.29/7.14 => Empirical Ration=> 1 : 2

∴ Empirical Formula => CH₂

Molecular Formula:

(Empirical Formula Wt)·N = Molecular Wt => N = Molecular Wt / Empirical Wt

N = 42 / 14 = 3 => multiply subscripts of empirical formula by '3'.

Therefore, the molecular formula is C₃H₆

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Physical and psychological dependence is high, and withdrawal symptoms include watery eyes, runny nose, loss of appetite, irritability, tremors, panic, abdominal cramps and diarrhea, nausea, chills, and sweating. Use of contaminated syringes/needles to inject drugs may result in serious blood borne infections such as HIV-AIDS and hepatitis.

a mixture consisting of only of lithium chloride, lithium carbonate, and lithium nitrate was analyzed
Dafna11 [192]

A mixture consisting of only of lithium chloride, lithium carbonate, and lithium nitrate was analyzed by the help of concentric hydrochloric acid.

<h3>What is concentric hydrochloric acid?</h3>

The concentric hydrochloric acid is used for the analysis of organic and inorganic mixture like  lithium chloride, lithium carbonate, and lithium nitrate it releases fumes and cannot be touched with normal hands.

Always use a dropper to use it and for the chemical analysis.

Therefore, mixture consisting of only of lithium chloride, lithium carbonate, and lithium nitrate was analyzed by the help of concentric hydrochloric acid.
