Because it is a mix of H2O (water) and NaCl (salt)
I can't actually answer this one if the empirical formula is not given. Luckily, I've found a similar problem from another website. The problem is shown in the picture attached. It shows that the empirical formula is CH₂O. Let's calculate the molar mass of the empirical formula.
Molar mass of E.F = 12 + 2(1) + 16 = 30 g/mol
Then, let's divide this to the molar mass of the molecular formula.
Molar mass of M.F/Molar mass of E.F = 180/30 = 6
Therefore, let's multiply 6 to each subscript in the empirical formula to determine the actual molecular formula.
<em>Actual molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆</em>
A solvent (from the Latin solvō, "I loosen, untie, I solve") is a substance that dissolves a solute (a chemically distinct liquid, solid or gas), resulting in a solution. A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid or a gas. The quantity of solute that can dissolve in a specific volume of solvent varies with temperature. Common uses for organic solvents are in dry cleaning (e.g., tetrachloroethylene), as paint thinners (e.g., toluene, turpentine), as nail polish removers and glue solvents (acetone, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate), in spot removers (e.g., hexane, petrol ether), in detergents (citrus terpenes) and in perfumes (ethanol). Water is a solvent for polar molecules and the most common solvent used by living things; all the ions and proteins in a cell are dissolved in water within a cell. Solvents find various applications in chemical, pharmaceutical, oil, and gas industries, including in chemical syntheses and purification processes.
