The reaction of equal molar amounts of benzene, C6H6, and chlorine, Cl2, carried out under special conditions, yields a gas and

a clear liquid. Analysis of the liquid shows that it contains 64.03% carbon, 4.48% hydrogen, and 31.49% chlorine by mass and that is has a molar mass of 112.5 g/mol. The molecular formula will be determined. First, determine the number of moles of carbon in a 100 g sample.

Answer : The molecular formula of a compound is, C_6H_5Cl_1

Solution : Given,

Mass of C = 64.03 g

Mass of H = 4.48 g

Mass of Cl = 31.49 g

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mole

Molar mass of H = 1 g/mole

Molar mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mole

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = \frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{64.03g}{12g/mole}=5.34moles

Moles of H = \frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{4.48g}{1g/mole}=4.48moles

Moles of Cl = \frac{\text{ given mass of Cl}}{\text{ molar mass of Cl}}= \frac{31.49g}{35.5g/mole}=0.887moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = \frac{5.34}{0.887}=6.02\approx 6

For H = \frac{4.48}{0.887}=5.05\approx 5

For Cl = \frac{0.887}{0.887}=1

The ratio of C : H : Cl = 6 : 5 : 1

The mole ratio of the element is represented by subscripts in empirical formula.

The Empirical formula = C_6H_5Cl_1

The empirical formula weight = 6(12) + 5(1) + 1(35.5) = 112.5 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

n=\frac{\text{Molecular formula}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}

n=\frac{112.5}{112.5}=1

Molecular formula = (C_6H_5Cl_1)_n=(C_6H_5Cl_1)_1=C_6H_5Cl_1

Therefore, the molecular of the compound is, C_6H_5Cl_1

The age of fossils can sometimes be determined by radiometric dating, which is based on the constant rate of decay of radioactiv
True [87]
The age of the fossil given the present amount of Carbon-14 is given in the equation,
                               A(t) = A(o)(0.5)^t/h
where A(t) is the current amount, A(o) is the initial amount, t is time and h is the half-life. Substituting the known values to the equation,
                       A(t) / A(o) = 0.125 = (0.5)^(t/5730)
The value of t from the equation is 17190.
Thus, the age of the fossil is mostly likely to be 17190 years old.

What is the molar mass of (NH4)3 PO4? 113g, 121g, 149g, 339g
allochka39001 [22]
(NH4)3PO4 :

N = 14 * 3 =  42
H = 1 * 12 = 12
P = 31 * 1 = 31
O = 16 * 4 = 64
-------------------------
42+12+31+64 =  149 g / mol

Hope this helps!.
