What is the empirical formula for the following molecular formula: C10H5O2

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tju [1.3M]3 years ago
4 0

The empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula : C₁₀H₅O₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Molecular formula : C₁₀H₅O₂

Required

The empirical formula

Solution

The empirical formula (EF) is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.  

The molecular formula (MF) is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.  

(empirical formula) n = molecular formula  

<em>(EF)n=MF </em>

(EF)n = C₁₀H₅O₂

If we divide by the number of moles of Oxygen (the smallest) which is 2 then the moles of Hydrogen will be a decimal number (not whole), which is 2.5, then the empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula

How do you convert from grams to moles?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Each element or compound has a molar mass, which is calculated by multiplying the atomic mass of each element by the amount of atoms of that element, and summing the results of each element. The molar mass is measured in g/mol. So you divide the mass in grams by the molar mass to get the amount of moles.

Example:

There are 5g of water.

Calculate the amount of moles.

The water's formula is H2O, so the molar mass of it is

2 \times 1 + 1 \times 16 = 18

g/mol.

The amount of moles is:

5g ÷ 18g/mol ~ 0.28mol

A 3.42 gram sample of an unknown gas is found to occupy a volume of 1.90 L at a pressure of 547 mm Hg and a temperature of 33 °C
liq [111]
Use the Ideal Gas Law to find the moles of gas first.

Be sure to convert T from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.

Also I prefer to deal with pressure in atm rather than mmHg, so divide the pressure by 760 to get it in atm.

PV = nRT —> n = PV/RT
P = 547 mmHg = 547/760 atm = 0.720 atm
V = 1.90 L
T = 33°C = 33 + 273 K = 306 K
R = 0.08206 L atm / mol K

n = (0.720 atm)(1.90 L) / (0.08206 L atm / mol K)(306 K) = 0.0545 mol of gas

Now divide grams by mol to get the molecular weight.

3.42 g / 0.0545 mol = 62.8 g/mol
