How do you find the molecular formula from the empirical formula?

To find them you would have numbers of the elements in percentage or grams then you divide them by their molar mass to get their moles. From there you divide by the smallest number. Round it to two or one sig fig. If you have a number that is for ex. 2.5 you multiply it by 2 to make it whole as well the other whole numbers. Then to find the molecular formula the problem must give you another molar mass and using your empirical formula convert it to its molar mass then you divide them, larger number over smaller number. You should get a number round it to 1 sig fig. Now you use that number and multiply the subscripts on the empirical formula to get the molecular formula.

Estimate the number of moles of water in all the Earth's oceans. Assume water covers 75% of the Earth to an average depth of 3 k
o-na [289]

Answer:

there are approximately n ≈ 10²² moles

Explanation:

Since the radius of the earth is approximately R=6378 km= 6.378*10⁶ m , then the surface S of the earth would be

S= 4*π*R²

since the water covers 75% of the Earth's surface , the surface covered by water Sw is

Sw=0.75*S

the volume for a surface Sw and a depth D= 3 km = 3000 m ( approximating the volume through a rectangular shape) is

V=Sw*D

the mass of water under a volume V , assuming a density ρ= 1000 kg/m³ is

m=ρ*V

the number of moles n of water ( molecular weight M= 18 g/mole = 1.8*10⁻² kg/mole ) for a mass m is

n = m/M

then

n = m/M = ρ*V/M = ρ*Sw*D/M = 0.75*ρ*S*D/M = 3/4*ρ*4*π*R² *D/M = 3*π*ρ*R² *D/M

n=3*π*ρ*R² *D/M

replacing values

n=3*π*ρ*R² *D/M = 3*π*1000 kg/m³*(6.378*10⁶ m)² *3000 m /(1.8*10⁻² kg/mole) = 3*π*6.378*3/1.8 * 10²⁰ = 100.18 * 10²⁰ ≈ 10²² moles

n ≈ 10²² moles
