The empirical formula is a formula of a compound showing the proportion of each element involved in the compounds but it does not represent the total number of atoms in the compound. It is the lowest number of ratio between the elements in the compound. In order, to determine the actual number of the atoms or the molecular formula of the compounds, we make use of the molar mass of the compound.
<span>To
determine the molecular formula, we multiply a value to the empirical formula.
Then, calculate the molar mass and see whether it is equal to the one
given (104.1 g/ mol). From the choices, the only valid options are b, d and e.
</span> molar mass
1 CH 13.02
8 C8H8 104.16
6 C6H6 78.12
Therefore the correct answer is option B.
Number of O atoms : 24
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
C₆H₁₂O₆ compound
Required
Number of atoms
Solution
A molecular formula shows the number of atomic elements in compound.
The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of the atoms
Glucose-C₆H₁₂O₆ is composed of 3 elements, namely C, H, and O.
The number of atoms in a compound can usually be seen from the subscript number after the atom and the reaction coefficient shows the number of molecules
So number of O atoms :
= 4 x 6 = 24 atoms
The resulting pressure of the gas after decreasing the initial volume from 2 L to 1 L is 3 atm.
<h3>What is
Boyle's Law?</h3>
According to the Boyle's Law at constant temperature, pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of that gas.
For the given question we use the below equation is:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂, where
P₁ = initial pressure of gas = 1.5 atm
V₁ = initial volume of gas = 2 L
P₂ = final pressure of gas = ?
V₂ = final volume of gas = 1 L
On putting all these values on the above equation, we get
P₂ = (1.5atm)(2L) / (1L) = 3 atm
Hence required pressure of the gas is 3 atm.
