Answer: The molecular formula will be
Explanation:
If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.
So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.
Mass of C = 40.0 g
Mass of O = 53.3 g
Mass of H = 6.66 g
Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.
Moles of C =
Moles of O =
Moles of H =
Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.
For C =
For O =
For H =
The ratio of C : O : H = 1: 1: 2
Hence the empirical formula is
The empirical weight of = 1(12)+1(16)+2(1)= 30g.
The molecular weight = 60 g/mole
Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.
The molecular formula will be=
