The molecular  formula of   organic solvent  is    <em>C6H12</em>


<h2>calculation</h2><h3>find the empirical formula first as in step 1 and 2</h3>

Step 1: f<em>ind the moles of C and H</em>

  • moles =  % composition/molar mass
  •       from periodic table molar mass of C= 12 g/mol while that of H= 1 g/mol
  • moles is  C is therefore = 85.6/12=  7. 13 moles
  •  moles of H=  14.4/1 - 14.4 moles

  Step 2:  <em>calculate the mole  fraction  by dividing each mole by smallest number of mole(7.13)</em>

  • that is C= 7.13/7.13 = 1

         H=  14.4/7.13 =2

the empirical formula is therefore = CH2

<h2>Then calculate the molecular formula from empirical formula</h2>

step 3: divide the  grams molar mass  by empirical formula mass

               empirical formula mass =  12+(1 x2) = 14 g/mol

    = 84.2/ 14 = 6

step 4: multiply  each of the subscript  within the empirical  formula with the value gotten in step 3

  • that is  [CH2]6 = C6H12  therefore the molecular formula = <u>C6H12</u>

Fed [463]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The Lewis representation above depicts a reaction between hydrogen (blue) and a main-group element from group______ (red).

In this representation, each Y atom needs ______ electron(s) to complete its octet, and gains these electrons by forming______ bond(s) with atoms of H .

There are ______ unshared electron pair(s) and _______bonding electron pair(s) in the product molecule.

The bonds in the product are _________ (Ionic or Covalent)

Answer:

1) 16

2) 2 electrons

3) 2 bonds

4) 2 unshared pairs of electrons

5) 2 bonding pairs of electrons

6) The bonds in the product are covalent

Explanation:

Group sixteen elements have six electrons on their outermost shell. These include two unshared pairs of electrons and two unpaired electrons. These two unpaired electrons can now be covalently bonded to two hydrogen atoms to give H2Y. The compound H2Y has two lone pairs and two bond pairs of electrons.

H2Y can be a general formula for all hydrides of group 16. They are all very similar in structure but gradually differ in physical and chemical properties according to the graduated variation observed down the group.
