What information do we need to determine the molecular formula of a compound from the empirical formula?

Chemistry
1 answer:
defon3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Molecular mass

Explanation:

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...

Thus if the molecular mass is known, then we can find the value of n which results to molecular formula.

1. A student attempts to make a saline solution by adding salt to water. How much water did
dexar [7]

111.1 mL of water

Explanation:

Weight per volume concentration (w/v %) is defined as

weight per volume concentration = (mass of solute (g) / volume of solution (mL)) × 100

volume of solution = (mass of solute × 100) / weight per volume concentration

volume of solution = (1 × 100) / 0.9 = 111.1 mL

volume of water = volume of solution = 111.1 mL

Calculate the mass of H2OH2O produced by metabolism of 2.4 kgkg of fat, assuming the fat consists entirely of tristearin (C57H11
otez555 [7]

Answer:

2,669.58 grams of water will be produced by metabolism of 2.4 kilogram of fat.

Explanation:

2C_{57}H_{110}O_6+163O_2\rightarrow 114CO_2+110H_2O

Mass of fat = 2.4 kg = 2.4 × 1000 g = 2400 g

1 kg = 1000 g

Molar mass of fat = M

M = 57 × 12 g/mol + 110 × 1 g/mol+ 6 × 16 g/mol = 890 g/mol[/tex]

Moles of fat = \frac{2400 g}{890 g/mol}=2.6966 mol

According to reaction , 2 moles of fat gives 110 moles of water. Then 2.6966 moles of fat will give  ;

\frac{110}{2}\times 2.6966 mol=148.31 mol of water

Mass of 148.31 moles of water ;

148.31 mol × 18 g/mol = 2,669.58 g

2,669.58 grams of water will be produced by metabolism of 2.4 kilogram of fat.

Discuss Newland octave law and it's rejection
Delvig [45]
It's where chemical elements are organized based on atomic weight. Also, like/similar physical and chemical properties in each interval of 7 elements. 
It was a silly reason it was rejected. It was rejected because it's octaves were too similar to those in music.
I hope this helps!

What is the molecular formula of a compound with the empirical formula
ipn [44]

Answer:  C_2H_2O_2

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

The empirical formula is CHO

The empirical weight of CHO = 1(12)+1(1)+1(16)= 29 g.

The molecular weight = 60 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula:

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{60}{29}=2

The molecular formula will be=2\times CHO=C_2H_2O_2

Thus molecular formula will be C_2H_2O_2
