First, convert each percentage to grams: 38.7g, 9.70g, and 51.6g.
Next, calculate the number of moles of each element, based on the number of grams given.
C = 3.23 mol
H = 8.91 mol
O = 3.23 mol
Set up the ratio of moles of each element:
C3.34H9.70O3.23. Convert the decimals to whole numbers by dividing by the smallest subscript, 3.23.
The empirical formula is CH3O.
Now, compute the formula mass, which is 31. Finally, divide the molecular mass by the formula mass, 62/31 = 2. Multiple the subscripts by 2 to get the molecular formula.
Use the ideal gas formula-----> PV= nRT
P= 2.50 atm
V= 250 mL= 0.250 L
n= 0.100 moles
R= 0.0821 atmxL/molesxK
T= ?
T= PV/nR
T= (2.50 atm x 0.250 L) / (0.100 moles x 0.0821)= 76.1 K
