The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Compound X has a molar mass of 153.05 g/mol and the following composition:
element mass %
carbon 47.09%
hydrogen 6.59%
chlorine 46.33%
Write the molecular formula of X.
Answer: The molecular formula of X is
Explanation:
If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.
So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.
Mass of C= 47.09 g
Mass of H = 6.59 g
Mass of Cl = 46.33 g
Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.
Moles of C =
Moles of H =
Moles of Cl =
Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.
For C =
For H =
For Cl =
The ratio of C : H: Cl= 3: 5 :1
Hence the empirical formula is
The empirical weight of = 3(12)+5(1)+1(35.5)= 76.5g.
The molecular weight = 153.05 g/mole
Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.
The molecular formula will be=
