Answer:

empirical formula = CH2Br

molecular formula = C2H12Br2

Explanation:

  1. Start with the number of grams of each element, given in the problem.
  2. Convert the mass of each element to moles using the molar mass from the periodic table.
  3. Divide each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated.
  4. Round to the nearest whole number. This is the mole ratio of the elements

In this problem:

Carbon: .3194/12.0107 = .0266

Hydrogen: .05361/1.0794 = .0532

Bromine: 2.125/79.904= .0266

Divide all three numbers by .0266 to get:

C = 1

H = 2.00

Br = 1

If the density of water is 1g/ml, what is the mass of 254ml of water?
Mariulka [41]
The mass of 254 mL of water is 254 g. Since the density of water is 1g/mL, we can simply multiply the density 1g/mL by 254 mL of water and get 254 g as our answer.  Since mL is in the numerator and denominator, mL cancels out and we are left with g only.
