Answer:

The process in which a substance loses an electron in a chemical reaction is called oxidation. The atoms that lost electrons are said to be oxidized. Atoms can be oxidized by nonmetals. Reduction is gain of electrons and thus gaining of negative charge.

An unknown compound with a molar mass of 223.94 g/mol consists of 32.18% c, 4.50% h, and 63.32% cl. find the molecular formula f

Dima020 [189]

The actual number of atoms of each element present in the molecule of the compound is represented by the formula known as molecular formula.

Molar mass of the unknown compound = 223.94 g/mol (given)

Mass of each element present in the unknown compound is determined as:

Mass of carbon, $C$ :

$\frac{32.18}{100}\times 223.94 = 72.06 g$

Mass of hydrogen, $H$ :

$\frac{4.5}{100}\times 223.94 = 10.08 g$

Mass of chlorine, $Cl$ :

$\frac{63.32}{100}\times 223.94 = 141.79 g$

Now, the number of each element in the unknown compound is determined by the formula:

$number of moles = \frac{given mass}{molar mass}$

Number of moles of $C$ :

$number of moles = \frac{72.06}{12} = 6.005 mole\simeq 6 mole$

Number of moles of $H$ :

$number of moles = \frac{10.08}{1} = 10.08 mole\simeq 10 mole$

Number of moles of $Cl$

$number of moles = \frac{141.79}{35.5} = 3.99 mole\simeq 4 mole$

Dividing each mole with the smallest number of mole, to determine the empirical formula:

$C_{\frac{6}{4}}H_{\frac{10}{4}}Cl_{\frac{10}{4}}$

$C_{1.5}H_{2.5}Cl_{1}$

Multiplying with 2 to convert the numbers in formula into a whole number:

So, the empirical formula is $C_{3}H_{5}Cl_{2}$ .

Empirical mass = $12\times 3+1\times 5+2\times 35.5 = 112 g/mol$

In order to determine the molecular formula:

n = $\frac{molar mass}{empirical mass}$

n = $\frac{223.94}{112} = 1.99 \simeq 2$

So, the molecular formula is:

$2\times C_{3}H_{5}Cl_{2} = C_{6}H_{10}Cl_{4}$
