Answer:
Hydrogenation – meaning, to treat with hydrogen – is a chemical reaction between molecular hydrogen and another compound or element, usually in the presence of a catalyst such as nickel, palladium or platinum. The process is commonly employed to reduce or saturate organic compounds
Explanation:
In an unknown liquid, the percentage composition with respect to carbon, hydrogen and iodine is 34.31%, 5.28% and 60.41% respectively.
Let the mass of liquid be 100 g thus, mass of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen will be 34.31 g, 5.28 g and 60.41 g respectively.
To calculate molecular formula of compound, convert mass into number of moles as follows:
Molar mass of carbon, hydrogen and iodine is 12 g/mol, 1 g/mol and 126.90 g/mol.
Taking the ratio:
Putting the values,
Thus, molecular formula of compound will be 
.
<span>70.4 mg CO2 x 1.0 g /1000 mg x 1 mole CO2/ 44 gCO2 x 1 mole C/1 mole CO2 = 0.0016 moles C
14.4 mg H2O x 1.0 g/1000 mg x 1 mole H2O/18 g H2O x 2 moles H/ 1 mole H2O = 0.0016 moles O
molar mass of C=12 g/mole
molar mass of H=1 g/mole
0.0016 moles C x 12 g C/ 1 mole C = 0.0192 g C or 19.2 mg C
0.00156 moles H x 1 g H/1 mole H = 0.00156 g H or 1.56 mg H
mg O= 30.4 mg vanillin - 19.2 mg C – 1.56 mg H = 9.64 mg O
molar mass of O=16 g/mole
9.64 mg O x 1 g/1000 mg x 1 mole O/16.0 g = 0.000602
C.0016 H.0016 O.000602; divide all the moles by the smallest value of0.000602
C2.66H2.66O1 is the empirical formula;
to obtain whole numbers multiply by 3
3[C2.66H2.66O1] = C8H8O3
above formula weight: 8(C) + 8(H) + 3(O) = 8(12) + 8(1) + 3(16) = 152 amu
The empirical formula weight and the molecular formula weight are the same .
Molecular formula is C8H8O3.</span>
Huh. Is this supposed to be biology?
Because at atmospheric pressure the boiling point is below room temperature, just like Oxygen, Nitrogen etc
