Determining the molecular formula of a hydrocarbon with a relative molecular mass of 54​

Chemistry

Answer:

C₄H₆

Explanation:

A hydrocarbon is a molecule that only contains atoms of Carbon and Hydrogen. As you remember, the molar mass of Carbon is 12g/mol and the molar mass of Hydrogen is 1g/mol.

To solve this question we can find the amount of Carbons necessary that doesn't exceed the 54g/mol. That is:

54g/mol / 12g/mol = 4.5

As the molecular formula must be given in whole numbers, the amount of Carbons is 4. This 4 carbons have a mass of:

12g/mol*4 = 48g/mol

And the hydrogens necessaries to suply the molecular mass are:

54 - 48 = 6 hydrogens

That means molecular formula is:

Zina [86]

<u>Given:</u>

Calculated density values-

Aluminum = 2.7 g/cm3

Copper = 9.0 g/cm3

Iron = 7.9 g/cm3

Titanium = 4.8 g/cm3

Unknown sample mass = 9.5 g

Sample volume = 2.1 cm3

<u>To determine:</u>

The identity of the unknown sample

<u>Explanation:</u>

'Density' is a physical parameter which can be used to identify the nature of the unknown substance.

Density = Mass/Volume

For the unknown sample

Density = 9.5 g/2.1 cm3 = 4.52 g/cm3

This matches closely with the calculated density of titanium

Ans: The unknown substance is made of titanium
