Find the empirical and molecular formula for a molar mass of 60.10g/mol; 39.97% carbon 13.41% hydrogen: 46.62% nitrogen

1 answer:

5 0

Assuming we have 100g, this means that

39.97g Carbon * 1 mol / 12 g = 3.33 mol Carbon
13.41g Hydrogen * 1 mol/1 g = 13.41 mol Hydrogen
46.62g Nitrogen * 1 mol / 14 g = 3.33 mol Nitrogen
Dividing everything by 3.33, we get

1 mol Carbon, 4.03 mol Hydrogen, 1 mol Nitrogen.

Empirical formula is CH4N

The mass of the empirical formula is
12 + 4 + 14 = 30

Since the molar mass is double, we multiply all our subscripts

The molecular formula is C2H8N2

The answers to this question are an empirical formula of CH4N and a molecular formula of C2H8N2 .

the elements fluorine,chlorine,bromine,and iodine are all found in the same group on the table. these elements are grouped toget

Answer:

Fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine are grouped together because they have the same number of valence electrons.

Explanation:

Fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine are all found in group 7, which is the second-last column from the right. Group 7 elements are also called the "Halogens" family.

The group number also tells you the number of valence electrons that the elements have in that group. Valence electrons mean the outermost electrons (See picture).

For example, fluorine has two shells (the circles with dots on them). The outermost electrons, or valence electrons, are the dots on the biggest circle. There are 7 dots, so there are 7 valence electrons, which corresponds with Group "7".

A full shell (except the for first shell) is when there are 8 dots. Since 7 is so close to 8, Halogens are very reactive.

Fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine all have 7 valence electrons and are in the Halogens family, which are very reactive.
