If a molecule with an empirical formula CHO has a molar mass of 88.12 g/mol, what is its molecular formula?

Chemistry

Karolina [17]3 years ago

Answer:

C3H3O3

Explanation:

To find its molecular formula, we simply use the empirical formula together with the molar mass. Firstly, we obtain the molar mass of the empirical formula CHO. His can be obtained by using the masses of the individual atoms. The masses are 12, 1 and 16 for carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

Hence: (12+[6+1)n = 88.12

29n = 88.12

n = 3

The molecular formula is thus C3H3O3

Fertilizer is sold in 100 pound bags labelled with the amount of nitrogen ( N), phosphoric acid ( P2O5), and potash ( K2O) prese
Mama L [17]

Answer:

You need to add 3 100 pound bags of  Parkerâs Premium Starter and 5 100 pound bags of Vigoro Ultra Turf fertilizer

Explanation:

You can obtain 3 equations. One for each compound:

For N:

177 pounds = 29x + 18y <em>(1) </em>

<em>-</em><em>Where x are bags of Vigoro Ultra Turf fertilizer</em><em> </em><em>and y are bags of  </em>Parkerâs Premium Starte-

For P₂O₅:

134 pounds = 3x + 25y <em>(2)</em>

For K₂O:

42 pounds = 4x + 6y <em>(3)</em>

Replacing (1) in (2):

134 = (531/29 - 54y/29) + 25y

3355/29 = 671y/29

<em>y = 5 bags</em>

Thus,

<em>x = 3 bags</em>

You can replace in each equation to prove that this is the right result.

I hope it helps!
