* Need ASAP * Explain the relationship between percent composition, Empirical formula, and molecular formula.

Chemistry

5 0

By dividing the percentage composition with the molar mass of that element we will get the empirical formula. Then using that empirical formula and formula mass we can find the molecular formula.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical properties of any substance are defined obviously by the different types and relative amounts of atoms constituting its primary entities (in case of covalent compounds the primary entities are molecules and ions in the event of ionic compounds).

A percent composition of any compound gives the mass percent of each element present in the compound; in addition to that frequently it is determined experimentally and utilized to derive an empirical formula of any compound. An empirical formula mass of any covalent compound could be comparable with the molar or molecular mass of a compound to acquire a molecular formula.

How many moles of Fe2O3 are in 203 g of the compound?
ruslelena [56]
The equation is :
moles=mass/molar mass
so, the mass is 203 and molar mass is 159.69 
You divide the 203 by 156.69 as the equation shows
so the moles is 1.27 mol.

On combustion, 1.0 L of a gaseous compound of hydrogen, carbon, and sulfur gives 2.0 L of CO2, 3.0 L of H2O vapor, and 1.0 L of
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The empirical formula of the organic compound is  = C_2H_6S_1

Explanation:

At STP, 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume.

Moles of CO_2 gas at STP occupying 2.0 L = n

n\times 22.4L=2.0L

n=\frac{2.0 L}{22.4 L}=0.08929 mol

Moles of carbon in 0.08920 mol = 1 × 0.08920 mol = 0.08920 mol

Moles of H_2O gas at STP occupying 3.0 L = n'

n'\times 22.4L=3.0L

n'=\frac{3.0 L}{22.4 L}=0.1339 mol

Moles of hydrogen in 0.1339 moles of water vapor = 2 × 0.1339 mol = 0.2678 mol

Moles of SO_2 gas at STP occupying 1.0 L = n''

n''\times 22.4L=1.0L

n''=\frac{1.0 L}{22.4 L}=0.04464 mol

Moles of sulfur in 0.04464 mol = 1 × 0.04464 mol = 0.04464 mol

Moles of carbon , hydrogen and sulfur constituent of that organic compound .

Moles of carbon in 0.08920 mol = 1 × 0.08920 mol = 0.08920 mol

Moles of hydrogen in 0.1339 moles of water vapor = 2 × 0.1339 mol = 0.2678 mol

Moles of sulfur in 0.04464 mol = 1 × 0.04464 mol = 0.04464 mol

For empirical; formula divide the least number of moles from all the moles of elements.

carbon = \frac{0.08920 mol}{0.04464 mol}=2

Hydrogen =  \frac{0.2678 mol}{0.04464 mol}=6

Sulfur = \frac{0.04464 mol}{0.04464 mol}=1

The empirical formula of the organic compound is  = C_2H_6S_1
