 <span>First - you need the empirical formula. 

So, assume you have 100 g of the compound. 

If so, you'll have 54.53 gram of C, 9.15 g of H and 36.32 g of O. Find the number of moles of each. 

54.53 g C (1 mole C / 12.01 g C) = 4.540 

9.15 g H (1 mole H / 1.008 g H) = 9.077 

36.32 g O (1 mole O / 15.9994 g O) = 2.270 

Take the smallest number found and divide the others by it to get the empirical formula. 

4.540/2.270 = 2. 
9.077/2.270 = 4. 
2.270/2.270 =1. 

So, that gives you the empirical formula of C2H4O. 

Find the weight of this compound. C = 12, H = 1, O = 16. So, C2H4O is 44 amu. 

132/44 = 3. 

So, 3 (C2 H4 O) = C6H12O3 = molecular formula.</span>

Which compound in each pair is more soluble in water?(b) Calcium phosphate or magnesium phosphate
Sidana [21]

<u>larger is the value of </u>Ksp<u> the higher will the solubility of solid in water.</u>

What is called compound?

  • In chemistry, a compound is a substance made up of two or more different chemical elements combined in a fixed ratio.
  • When the elements come together, they react with each other and form chemical bonds that are difficult to break.
  • These bonds form as a result of sharing or exchanging electrons between atoms.

The equation for the dissociation of a solid MX in water is given below

MX(s) ⇄ Mⁿ⁺(aq) + Xⁿ⁻ (aq)

Assume s be the solubility of MX in pure water, then the equilibrium concentrations of ions are

[ Mⁿ⁺] = s

[ Xⁿ⁻ ] = s

The expression for the solubility product constant (Ksp) is as follows

Ksp = [ Mⁿ⁺] [ Xⁿ⁻ ]

       = s²

That is, larger is the value of Ksp the higher will the solubility of solid in water.
