Answer: molecular formula = C12H16O8

Explanation:

NB Mm CO2= 44g/mol

Mm H2O= 18g/mol

Moles of CO2 = 36.86/44=0.84mol

0.84mole of CO2 has 0.84 mol of C

Moles of H2O = 10.06/18= 0.56mol

1mol of H20 contains 1mol of O and 2 mol H,

Hence there are 0.56mol O and (0.56×2)mol H

Hence the compound contains

C= 0.84 mol H= 1.12mol O=0.56mol

Divide through by smallest number

C= 0.83/0.56= 1.5mol

H= 1.12/0.55= 2mol

O= 0.56/0.56= 1mol

Multiply all by 2 to have whole number of moles = 3:4:2

Hence empirical formula= C3H4O2

(C3H4O2)n = 288.38

[(12×3) + 4+(16×2)]n= 288.38

72n=288.38

n= 4

:. Molecular formula=(C3H4O2)4= C12H16O8

Calculate the grams of solute in each of the following solution: 278 mL of 0.038 M Fe2(SO4)3
Goryan [66]

Answer:  4.22 grams of solute is there in 278 ml of 0.038 M Fe_2(SO_4)_3

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n}{V_s}

where,

n = moles of solute

V_s = volume of solution in L

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

0.038M=\frac{n}{0.278L}

n=0.0105mol  

mass of  Fe_2(SO_4)_3 = moles\times {\text {Molar Mass}}=0.0105\times 399.88g/mol=4.22g

Thus 4.22 grams of solute is there in 278 ml of 0.038 M Fe_2(SO_4)_3
