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

At 100 degrees Celsius, the ion product for pure water is Kw= 51.3*10^-14. What is the pOH of water at this temperature? A) 7.00
Levart [38]

7.86 is the pOH of water at this temperature of 100 degrees celsius.

Option E is the right answer.

Explanation:

Data given:

Kw = 51.3 x 10^{-14}

pOH = ?

we know that pure water is neutral and will have pH pf 7.

The equation for relation between Kw and H+ and OH- ion is given by:

Kw = [H+] [OH-}

here the concentration of H+ ion and OH- ion is equal

so, [H+]= [OH-]

Putting the values in the equation of Kw

pKw = -log[Kw]

pKw = -log [51.3 x 10^{-14}]

pKw = 12.28

since H+ ion OH ion concentration is equal the pH of water is half i.e. 6.14

Now, pOH is calculated by using the equation:

14 = pOH + pH

14- 6.14 = pOH

pOH = 7.86
