I search it in the internet so here you go
The empirical formula is C₇H₆O₂.
Assume that you have 100 g of the compound.
Then you have 68.84 g C and 4.962 g H.
Mass of O = (100 – 68.84 – 4.962) g = 26.20 g O.
Now, we must convert these masses to moles and find their ratios.
From here on, I like to summarize the calculations in a table.
<u>Element</u> <u>Mass/g</u> <u>Moles</u> <u>Ratio</u> <u> ×2</u> <u>Integers</u>
C 68.84 5.732 3.501 7.001 7
H 4.962 4.923 3.006 6.012 6
O 26.20 1.638 1 2 2
The empirical formula is C₇H₆O₂.
The empirical formula for 200 grams of an organic sample which contains carbon,hydrogen, and oxygen is C3H6O
Answer: 7
Explanation:
Before a number but after a decimal. The zeros at the end would usually mean that it doesn't count but since the numbers are before the zeros and after a decimal it's 7 sig figs
