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

<span>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 </span><span>an empirical formula of CH4N</span> and a molecular formula of C2H8N2 .

Some atoms are exceptions to the octet rule by having an expanded octet. Which characteristic is needed for an atom to have an e

Len [333]

Answer: The correct option would be A.

Explanation: The main group elements which make more bonds than that was predicted from the octet rule are supposed to have expanded octet.

These elements tend to have more than 8 valence electrons after bonding and this can be achieved when we have empty d-orbitals.

When we have empty p-orbitals, total number of valence electrons than can be occupied will be 8.

Electronic configuration when valence shell's empty p-orbitals are fully filled = $ns^2np^6$

which means that a total of 8 electrons can be occupied which does not satisfy expanded octet rule.

Example of molecule showing expanded octet rule is given in the image. Here, after bonding Phosphorous has 10 electrons which is occupied in empty d-orbitals.
