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>

The smell of hot food moves faster than the smell of cold food. Which property of gas is responsible for this?
miskamm [114]
When pressure is added to a gas the molecules bounce around really fast and push against the walls of its container. That's why when you squeeze an empty water bottle you can crush it all the way. The smaller the container the more the molecules hit the walls faster and that's what creates pressure. While moving around the molecules get hot as they speed up. Heat = Pressure.
