True some explanations are not always based on empirical evidence
Answer:
(C5H7)8
Explanation:
It's empirical formula is given as; C5H7
Molar mass of carbon(C) = 12 g/mol
Molar mass of hydrogen(H) = 1 g/mol
We are told that it's molar mass is 536 g/mol.
To find the molecular formula;
Molecular formula = n × empirical formula
Thus;
n = 536/((12 × 5) + (1 × 7))
n = 8
Thus;
Molecular formula = (C5H7)8
Answer:
0.362 moles
Explanation:
Mass of butane = 21g
Molar mass of carbon = 12g / mol
Molar mass of hydrogen = 1g/mol
Molar mass of butane ? = [(12*4) * (1*10)]
Molar mass of butane = 58g / mole
Number of moles = mass of molecules / molar mass of molecule
Number of moles = 21 / 58
Number of moles of butane = 0.362 moles
The number of moles in 21g of butane is 0.362 moles
Hydrolysis of Methyl Benzoate yields Benzoic Acid and Methanol. This reaction is also called as
Tranesterification (reverse of esterification). Acid in this reaction protonates the carbonyl oxygen, resulting in increasing electrophillic character of carbonyl carbon. Water acts as a nucleophile and methoxide leaves as a good leaving group.
Mechanism is shown below,
