Answer: 4 molL-1
Explanation:
Detailed solution is shown in the image attached. The number of moles of NaCl is first obtained. Since the molarity must be in units of molL-1, the volume is divided by 1000 and the formula stated in the solution is applied and the answer is given to one significant figure.
The molecular formula of the given compound is also known as Carbonic acid.
The simplest whole-number ratio of the various atoms in a compound is represented by an empirical formula.
The precise number of various atom types present in a compound's molecule is indicated by the molecular formula.
Given that,
H = 3.3%
C = 19.3%
O = 77.4%
No. of moles of H = 3.3/1
No. of moles of H = 3.3
No. of moles of C = 19.3 / 12
No. of moles of C = 1.60
No. of moles of O = 77.4/16
No. of moles of O = 4.83
Therefore, the ratio of the atoms of C, H and O = 3.3 : 1.60 : 4.83
Divide by smallest value which you get =3.3 / 1.60 : 1.60 / 1.60 : 4.83 / 1.60
The ratio of the atoms of C, H and O = 2 : 1 : 3
So, the empirical formula is
Let the molecular formula is
Then, molar mass
Molar mass = 62n
As the question, 62 n = 60
n = 0.96 or n = 1 (rounded off to nearest ones)
So, the molecular formula is i.e., the compound is Carbonic acid.
