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

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

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

Please hurry and tell the answer to:
Flura [38]

Answer:

6.50 g of Hydrogen

Explanation:

We know that in every 20.0g of sucrose, there are 1.30g of hydrogen.

We now have 100.0g of sucrose. 100.0g is 5x larger than the 20.0g sample, which is a 5 : 1 ratio. Applying this ratio to the amount of hydrogen, we would have 5*1.3g of hydrogen in the 100.0g of sucrose.

5*1.3 = 6.5, so our answer is that there are 6.50g of hydrogen in 100.0g of sucrose.

Hope this helps!
