Answer:
THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA OF THE SUBSTANCE IS C2H5NO
Explanation:
The steps involved in calculating the empirical formula of this substance in shown in the table below:
Element Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Oxygen
1. % Composition 40.66 8.53 23.72 27.09
2. Mole ratio =
%mass/ atomic mass 40.66/12 8.53/1 23.72/14 27.09/16
= 3.3883 8.53 1,6943 1.6931
3. Divide by smallest
value (0.6931) 3.3883/1.6931 8.53/1.6931 1.6943/1.6931 1.6931/1.6931
= 2.001 5.038 1.0007 1
4. Whole number ratio 2 5 1 1
The empirical formula = C2H5NO
The percentage composition of this compound : 40%Ca, 12%C and 48%O
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
20.0 g of calcium,
6.0 g of carbon,
and 24.0 g of oxygen.
Required
The percentage composition
Solution
Total mass of compound :
=mass calcium + mass carbon + mass oxygen
=20 g + 6 g + 24 g
=50 g
Percentage composition :
