If X is an equivalent base to H₂O
HX is an equivalent acid to H₃O⁺
HX is a stronger acid than H₃O⁺
HX is not an acid
X⁻ is a stronger base than H₂O
HX is a weaker acid than H₃O⁺
X⁻ is a weaker base than H₂O
X⁻ is not a base.
The correct response or this is
X⁻ is a stronger base than H₂O
HX is a weaker acid than H₃O⁺
To find the empirical formula you would first need to find the moles of each element:
58.8g/ 12.0g = 4.9 mol C
9.9g/ 1.0g = 9.9 mol H
31.4g/ 16.0g = 1.96 O
Then you divide by the smallest number of moles of each:
4.9/1.96 = 2.5
9.9/1.96 = 6
1.96/1.96 = 1
Since there is 2.5, you find the least number that makes each moles a whole number which is 2.
So the empirical formula is C5H12O2.
