To determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the compound, we assume a basis of the compound of 100 g. We do as follows:

       Mass              Moles                     
K    52.10     52.10/39.10 = 1.33         1.33/1.32 ≈ 1
C    15.8       15.8/12         = 1.32         1.32/1.32 ≈ 1
O     32.1      32.1 / 16       =  2.01        2.01/1.32 ≈ 1.5

The empirical formula would most likely be KCO.
The molecular formula would be K2C2O3.

Calculate the moles and grams of solute in each solution. D. 2.0 L of 0.30M Na2SO4. I already have A, B, and C. Thanks!
e-lub [12.9K]
Find the number of moles
C = n / V
C(Concentration) = 0.30 moles / L
V ( Volume) = 2 L
n = ??
n = C * V
n = 0.30 mol / L * 2 L
n = 0.60 mol


Find the molar mass
2Na = 23 * 2 = 46 grams
1S   = 32 * 1 = 32 grams
O4   = 16 * 4 = 64 grams
Total =            142 grams / mol

Find the mass
n = given mass / molar mass
n = 0.06 mol
molar Mass = 142 grams / mol
given mass = ???

given mass = molar mass * mols
given mass = 142 * 0.6
given mass = 85.2 grams. 

85.2 are in a 2 L solution that has a concentration of 0.6 mol/L

An unknown compound displays singlets at δ 2.1 ppm and 2.56 ppm in the ratio of 3:2. what is the structure of the compound?
olasank [31]

1) As can be seen from any 1H NMR chemical shift ppm tables, hydrogens which have δ values from 2ppm to 2.3ppm are hydrogens from carbon which is bonded to a carbonyl group. From this, we can conclude that our hydrogens belong to the type, but from 2 different alkyl groups because of 2 different signals.

 

2) So, one alkyl group is CH3 and second one can be CH or CH2.

 

3) If we know that ratio between two types of hydrogens is 3:2, it can be concluded that second alkyl group is CH2. 


4) Finally, we don't have any other signals and it indicates that part of the compound which continues on CH2 is exactly the same as the first part.

The ratio remains the same, 3:2 ie 6:4
