The empirical formula for the compound is - P₂O₅
the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound.
molecular formula is the actual ratio of components in a compound.
we have to first find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula
molecular mass - 283.89 g/mol
mass of empirical formula - 283.8 g
number of empirical units - 283.89 g/mol / 283.8 g
number of empirical units - 1.000
therefore empirical formula = molecular formula
molecular formula - P₂O₅
Answer:
I would say the purple one!
Explanation:
Atomic mass of magnesium = (23.99 x 78.99%) + (24.99 x 10.00%) + (25.98 x 11.01%)
= 24.31 g/mol
An aldehyde is an organic compound containing a terminal carbonyl group (C = O). This functional group, consisting of a carbon atom bound to a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom via double bond (the general formula: CHO) is called the aldehyde group. In a reaction of the addition of alcohol to the carbonyl group, it forms hemiacetals.
On the picture attached it is shown the reaction of alcohol addition to the carbonyl group with the major organic product <span>formed in the reaction.</span>
