Answer:
C8H20P4F8
Explanation:
Molecular formula is based off a ratio of the molecular formula's molar mass divided by the empirical formula's molar mass.
The molar mass of the empirical formula C2H5PF2 is 98.02g. We find this by adding the molar masses of all elements in the formula, multiplied by their subscripts.
2(12.01) + 5(1.01) + 30.97 + 2(18.99) = 98.02
We then divide the molecular molar mass by the empirical molar mass.
392.16/98.02 = 4
This tells us that the molecular formula has 4 times the mass of the empirical formula. Because mass comes from the elements in the formula, we multiply all the subscripts by 4 to get the molecular formula.
2x4 = 8
5x4 = 20
1x4 = 4
2x4 = 8
So the molecular formula is C8H20P4F8
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants take in carbon and use it for energy and produce oxygen.
Following the law of conservation of mass, the mass percent of hydrogen in the resulting compound is 14.4%(wt/wt). This is assuming that all of the carbon reacts with all of the hydrogen. The solution is as follows:
mass % = mass hydrogen*100/total mass = 28.8*100/(28.8+171.2) = 14.4%
Lead has a higher density
