Answer:

8

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Empirical formula = C₅H₇

Molecular weight = 537 amu.

Number of empirical unit (n) =?

We can obtain the number of empirical units in the actual molecular formula by doing the following:

[C₅H₇]n = 537

[(12×5) + (1×7)]n = 537

[60 + 7]n = 537

67n = 537

Divide both side by 67

n = 537/67

n = 8

Thus, there are 8 empirical units in the molecular formula

Why do you think it is important to use the same blanace throughout the entire experiment?
Zepler [3.9K]

It is important to use the same balance throughout the entire experiment since the calibration of each balance is not the same and changing balances could result in a systematic error.

There are three types of errors that could affect the results of the experiment. The effect of random or indeterminate errors is hard to predict, its effect on the results of the experiment could be different every time. The second type of error is the systematic or determinate error, which causes a shift in results in a specific direction. The last type of error in an experiment is human error.

The type of error that could be related to the use of different balances throughout the experiment is the systematic error. Instruments could be a source of error especially if they are poorly calibrated. Also, analytical balances are calibrated differently which may result in inaccuracy in the weighing of chemicals.
