Answer:
3.11%
Explanation:
We express a solution's volume by volume percent concentration, % v/v,
Take the ratio of the isopropyl alcohol (IPA) volume to the total volume of the solution, which is 1400 mL of water+ 45 mL of IPA,
and multiply by 100 to get the percentage: 45/(1400+45) *100 = 0.0311*100 = 3.11%
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up a compound.
The percentage composition of each element has been given
therefore the mass present of each element in 100 g of compound is
B N H
mass 40.28 g 52.20 g 7.53 g
number of moles
40.28 g / 11 g/mol 52.20 g / 14 g/mol 7.53 g / 1 g/mol
= 3.662 mol = 3.729 mol = 7.53 mol
divide the number of moles by the least number of moles, that is 3.662
3.662 / 3.662 3.729 / 3.662 7.53 / 3.662
= 1.000 = 1.018 = 2.056
the ratio of the elements after rounding off to the nearest whole number is
B : N : H = 1 : 1 : 2
therefore empirical formula for the compound is B₁N₁H₂
that can be written as BNH₂
