There are six atoms in the carbon
Following are the possible isomers of secondary alcohol and ketones for six carbon molecules. In order to distinguish between sec. alcohol and ketone we can simply treat the unknown compound with acidified Potassium Dichromate (VI) in the presence of acid. If with treatment with unknown compound the colour of K2Cr2O7 (potassium dichromate VI) changes from orange to green then it is confirmed that the unknown compound is sec. alcohol, or if no change in colour is detected then ketone is confirmed. This is because ketone can not be further oxidized while, sec. alcohol can be oxidized to ketones as shown below,
The nuclei of atoms also contain neutrons, which help hold the nucleus together. ... The total weight of an atom is called the atomic weight. It is approximately equal to the number of protons and neutrons, with a little extra added by the electrons.
The mass of a given atom, measured on a scale in which the hydrogen atom has the weight of one. Because most of the mass in an atom is in the nucleus, and each proton and neutron has an atomic weight near one, the atomic weight is very nearly equal to the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Answer:
CH4
Explanation:
The number of moles of carbon and hydrogen has been given as follows:
C = 0.300 mol
H = 1.20 mol
Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (0.300)
C = 0.300 ÷ 0.300 = 1
H = 1.20 ÷ 0.300 = 4
The empirical ratio of Carbon and Hydrogen is 1:4, hence, the empirical formula is CH4
