Answer:
Electron shells surrounding the nucleus.
<span>A compound is found to be 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.5% oxygen. Its molecular mass is 60. g/mol.
</span>Q1)
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components making up a compound.
the percentages have been given, therefore we can calculate for 100 g of the compound.
C H O
Mass in 100 g 40.0 g 6.7 g 53.5 g
Molar mass 12 g/mol 1 g/mol 16 g/mol
Number of moles 40.0/12= 3.33 6.7/1 = 6.7 53.5/16 = 3.34
Divide by the least number of moles
3.33/3.33 = 1 6.7/3.33 = 2.01 3.34/3.33 = 1.00
after rounding off
C - 1
H - 2
O - 1
Empirical formula - CH₂O
Q2)
Molecular formula is the actual number of components making up the compound.
To find the number of empirical units we have to find the mass of one empirical unit.
Mass of one empirical unit = CH₂O - 12 + (1x2) + 16 = 30 g
Mass of one mole of compound = 60 g
Number of empirical units = 60 g / 30 g = 2
Therefore molecular formula - 2(CH₂O)
Molecular formula - C₂H₄O₂
Answer:

Explanation:
The molar mass is the mass of a substance in grams per mole.
To find it, add the mass of each element in the compound. These masses can be found on the Periodic Table.
The compound given is:

The compound has 1 Ca (calcium) and 2 Cl (chlorine).
Mass of Calcium
- The molar mass of calcium is 40.08 g/mol
- There is only one atom of Calcium in CaCl₂, so the number above is what we will use.
Mass of Chlorine
- The molar mass of chlorine is 35.45 g/mol
- There are two atoms of chlorine in CaCl₂, therefore we need to multiply the molar mass by 2.
- 35.45 * 2= 70.9 g/mol
Molar Mass of CaCl₂
- Now, to find the molar mass, add the molar mass of 1 calcium and 2 chlorine.
- 40.08 g/mol + 70.9 g/mol =110.98 g/mol
The molar mass of CaCl₂ is <u>110.98 grams per mole. </u>
i think its a right tringle
