Answer:
The molecular formula =
Explanation:
Given that:
Mass of compound, m = 0.145 g
Temperature = 200 °C
The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:
T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15
So,
T = (200 + 273.15) K = 473.15 K
V = 97.2 mL = 0.0972 L
Pressure = 0.74 atm
Considering,
Using ideal gas equation as:
where,
P is the pressure
V is the volume
m is the mass of the gas
M is the molar mass of the gas
T is the temperature
R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol
Applying the values in the above equation as:-
The empirical formula is =
Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.
Thus,
Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass
Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...
Mass from the Empirical formula = 12 + 1 = 13 g/mol
Molar mass = 78.31 g/mol
So,
Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass
78.31 = n × 13
⇒ n ≅ 6
The molecular formula =
Answer: 2. cannot be an element.
Explanation:
Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper
Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: methane
Thus as it can be decomposed into its constituent elements, it is a compound.
Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present.
Thus methane cannot be an element.
