The empirical formula of the compound is calculated as follows:
Given that
It contains 85.63% carbon, and 100-85.63= 14.37 % hydrogen
now assume that the amount of compound is100 g thus there is 85.63 g C and 14.37 g H
NOW divide these percentages by the molar mass of the elements to get a number of moles for each substance.
NUMBER OF MOLES = AMOUNT IN G / MOLAR MASS
Carbon: 85.63/12 = 7.1
Hydrogen: 14.37/1 = 14.3
Now arrange these in a ratio as follows:
C:H
7.1/7.1 :14.3/7.1
1:2
divide through by the smallest number
Therefore, the empirical formula is CH2
Then calculate the molar mass of that molecule:
(1x12) + (2x1) = 14
Here the molar mass of compound is 56.10 g/mol
Since, 14 goes into 56.10 g/mol 4 times thus the molecular formula is : C4H8
Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction or repulsion which act between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules, or ions ). These forces are weak compared to the intramolecular forces, such as the covalent or ionic bonds between atoms in a molecule.
Answer:
The percentage yield is 90.9 % (<em>option e</em>)
Explanation:
A simple rule of three to explain this.
If the theoretical yield of the reaction is 47.2 g Fe, we assume it as 100%, then what percentage of yield means 42.9 g Fe
47.2 g Fe _____ 100 %
42.9 g Fe ______ ( 42.9 . 100)/ 47.2 = 90.88%
