Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound 
calculating for 100 g of compound 
                                             C                             H                             O
mass                                  64.27 g                   7.19 g                     28.54 g
number of moles        64.27 g / 12 g/mol      7.19 g/1 g/mol     28.54 g / 16 g/mol 
                                        = 5.356 mol           = 7.19 mol           = 1.784 mol 
divide by least number of moles  
                                     5.356 / 1.784            7.19 / 1.784         1.784 / 1.784
                                      = 3.002                     4.03                     = 1.000
rounded off to nearest whole number 
 C - 3
 H - 4
 O - 1
empirical formula - C₃H₄O
 
 mass of empirical formula = 12 g/mol  x 3 + 1 g/mol x 4 + 16 g/mol x 1 = 56 g
molecular mass = 168.19 g/mol 
molecular formula is the actual ratio of elements making up the compound 
number of empirical units = molar mass of molecule / empirical mass
      empirical units = 168.19 g/mol  / 56 g = 3.00
there are 3 empirical units making up the molecular formula 
molecular formula = 3 x C₃H₄O

molecular formula = C₉H₁₂O₃

The level of water in an olympic size swimming pool (50.0 meters long, 25.0 meters wide, and about 2.00 meters deep) needs to be
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Initial dimension of the pool:

Length (L)= 50.0 m

Width (W)= 25.0 m

Depth (D) = 2.0 m

Initial Volume of the pool (V1)  = L*W*D = 50.0 * 25.0 *2.0 = 2500 m3

When the depth is lowered by 3 cm i.e. 0.03 m, the new depth becomes: 2.0 - 0.03 = 1.97 m

The new volume of the pool (V2) = 50.0*25.0*1.97 = 2462.5 m3

Volume of water to be pumped out = V1-V2 = 2500-2462.5 = 35.5 m3

Now, 1 m3 = 1000 L

therefore, 35.5 m3 == 35.5 *10^3 L

It is given that:

3.80 L of water is pumped out in 1 sec

Therefore, 35.5*10^3 L will be pumped out in:

= 1 s * 35.5*10^3 L/3.80 L = 9.34*10^3 sec
