MASS: generally a measure of an object's resistance to changing its state of motion when a force is applied. It is determined by the strength of its mutual gravitational attraction.

Molecular mass or molecular weight is the mass of a molecule.

Gram formula mass (a.k.a. molar mass) is defined as the atomic mass of one mole of an element, molecular compound or ionic compound. The answer must always be written with the unit g/mol (grams per mole).

Ulleksa [173]

Answer;

C7H14O2

Solution;

Isobutyl contains , oxygen, carbon and hydrogen (total mass is 1.152 g)

Mass of carbon = 12/44 × 2.726 g

                           = 0.743455 g

Mass of Hydrogen  = 2/18 × 1.116 g

                            =  0.124 g

Mass of oxygen = 1.152 - (0.7435 + 0.124)

                           =  0.2845 g

Moles of carbon ;  0.7435/12 = 0.06196 moles

Moles of hydrogen; 0.124/1 = 0.124 moles

Moles of oxygen;  0.2845/16 = 0.01778 moles

Ratios ; 0.06196/0.01778 ; 0.124/0.01778 : 0.01778/0.01778

         =  3.5 :  7.0 : 1

To make them whole numbers ; we multiply the ratios by 2  to get;

(3.5 :  7.0 : 1 )2 = 7 : 14 : 2

Thus, the empirical formula of Isobutyl propionate  is C7H14O2

Is a compound a metal or non metal
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Compounds between Nonmetals and Nonmetals

Compounds that consist of a nonmetal bonded to a nonmetal are commonly known as Molecular Compounds, where the element with the positive oxidation state is written first. In many cases, nonmetals form more than one binary compound, so prefixes are used to distinguish them.
