Determine the empirical formula of a compound containing 47.37 grams of carbon, 10.59 grams of hydrogen, and 42.04 grams of oxyg

en.
In an experiment, the molar mass of the compound was determined to be 228.276 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of the compound?

For both questions, show your work or explain how you determined the formulas by giving specific values used in calculations.

Okay so the trick is to find the number of moles of each compound you have:

Carbon: 47.37 g / (12.01 g/mol)  = 3.944

Hydrogen: 10.59/1.008 = 10.55

Oxygen: 42.04/16  = 2.6275

Now divide each my the smallest mole number which is oxygen.

3.944/2.6275 = 1.5

10.55/2.6275 = 4

2.6275/2.6275 = 1

So the integer ratio between C:H:O is 3:8:2.

That means the empirical fomrula of the compound is C3H8O2.

However, for the molecular formula, we have to look at the Molar Mass value given. since C3H8O2 has a molar mass of 12.01*3 + 1.008*8 + 16*2 = 76.094,

we can do 228.276/76.084 = 3. So that means the molecular formula of the compound is C9H24O6

When road contractors are laying cement,they first place a series of steel rods in a specific patterns. the they pour the cement
Anna11 [10]
The steel rods will enable the concrete to form without any bumps and it will add shape to the cement and strength, so no odd massive lumps are formed.

That is what I think anyways :)

A and b are two gases that are mixed together: 2.50 mol a is mixed with 0.850 mol b. if the final pressure of the mixture is 1.7
USPshnik [31]

Partial pressure of gas A is 1.31 atm and that of gas B is 0.44 atm.

The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture can be calculated as

Pi = Xi x P

Where Pi is the partial pressure; Xi is mole fraction and P is the total pressure of the mixture.

Therefore we have Pa = Xa x P and Pb = Xb x P

Let us find Xa and Xb

Χa = mol a/ total moles = 2.50/(2.50+0.85) = 2.50/3.35 = 0.746

Xb = mol b/total moles = 0.85/(2.50+0.85) = 0.85/3.35 = 0.254

Total pressure P is given as 1.75 atm

Pa = Xa x P = 0.746 x 1.75 = 1.31atm

Partial pressure of gas A is 1.31 atm

Pb = Xb x P = 0.254 x 1.75 = 0.44atm

Partial pressure of gas B is 0.44 atm.

Draw the structure corresponding to the common name α−chloro−β−methylbutyric acid
uysha [10]

Structure of a-chloro-b-methylbutyric acid (2-chloro-3-methylbutyric acid is attached below.


The structure was drawn using following information.


1) First, the parent chain was identified. The parent chain is containing four carbon atoms, also, this chain belongs to carboxylic acid as the compound name ends with Butyric acid i.e. butyr (Butane) -ic acid (carboxylic acid).


2) Secondly, the positions of substituents were assigned by using the rule which sates that the numbering in carboxylic acid must satrt from the carbonyl carbon. Therefore, the carbon which is attached to carbonyl carbon is named as alpha (2nd position) and carbon next to alpha carbon is named as beta carbon (3rd position). Hence, we add chlorine atom on 2nd carbon next to carbonyl group and methyl group at 3rd carbon with respect to carbonyl carbon.
