The empirical formula is the simplest number of atoms each can be reduced to. If we want to find the molecular formula, we need to find the right number of atoms of each that will add to the given mass, in this case, 62.0 grams. In this case, we find the individual masses of each element.
Carbon: 12.011 grams

Hydrogen: 1.008 grams * 3 since there are three

Oxygen: 15.999 grams

When we add these, we get a total mass of 31.034 grams. If we multiply it by two, we get the exact mass of the molecule formula, 62.068. Since we multiplied by two, all molecules have to be multiplied by two. That just means we multiply the number of molecules in the compound by two.
Therefore,

Empirical: CH3O

CH3O*2= C2H6O2 = Molecular

How do I find percent mass composition
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

1. Find the molar mass of all the elements in the compound in grams per mole.

2. Find the molecular mass of the entire compound.

3. Divide the component's molar mass by the entire molecular mass.

4. You will now have a number between 0 and 1. Multiply it by 100% to get percent composition.

Which statement below describes the behavior of a Molecules when a substance changes from a gas to liquid
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

As a substance changes from a solid to a liquid to a gas, its molecules first the molecules are moving fast enough, they are able to "escape." They leave the surface of the liquid as gas molecules. Evaporation is not the only process that can change a substance from a liquid to a gas. The same change can occur through boiling.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

A. PO43-

Explanation:

in the given is buffer . so H2PO4- and HPO42- both are present with equal concentration . Na+ is spectator ion it is also present in the concentration higher than the given species above .

but PO4-3 is not present . so it is lowest concentration
