Answer:
Molecular formula = P₄O₁₀
Explanation:
Given data:
Empirical formula of compound = P₂O₅
Molar mass of compound = 426 g/mol
Molecular formula = ?
Solution:
Molecular formula:
Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)
n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass
Empirical formula mass= P₂O₅ = 283.89 g/mol
n = 426 g/mol / 283.89 g/mol
n = 2
Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)
Molecular formula = 2 (P₂O₅ )
Molecular formula = P₄O₁₀
