The empirical formula is a formula of a compound showing the proportion of each element involved in the compounds but it does not represent the total number of atoms in the compound. It is the lowest number of ratio between the elements in the compound. In order, to determine the actual number of the atoms or the molecular formula of the compounds, we make use of the molar mass of the compound.
<span>To
determine the molecular formula, we multiply a value to the empirical formula.
Then, calculate the molar mass and see whether it is equal to the one
given (104.1 g/ mol). From the choices, the only valid options are b, d and e.
</span> molar mass
1 CH 13.02
8 C8H8 104.16
6 C6H6 78.12
Therefore the correct answer is option B.
Answer:
102g
Explanation:
To find the mass of ethanol formed, we first need to ensure that we have a balanced chemical equation. A balanced chemical equation is where the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation (reactants and products). This is useful as only when a chemical equation is balanced, we can understand the relationship of the amount (moles) of reactant and products, or to put it simply, their relationship with one another.
In this case, the given equation is already balanced.

From the equation, the amount of ethanol produced is twice the amount of yeast present, or the same amount of carbon dioxide produced. Do note that amount refers to the number of moles here.
Mole= Mass ÷Mr
Mass= Mole ×Mr
<u>Method 1: using the </u><u>mass of glucose</u>
Mr of glucose
= 6(12) +12(1) +6(16)
= 180
Moles of glucose reacted
= 200 ÷180
=
mol
Amount of ethanol formed: moles of glucose reacted= 2: 1
Amount of ethanol
= 
=
mol
Mass of ethanol
= ![\frac{20}{9} \times[2(12)+6+16]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B20%7D%7B9%7D%20%5Ctimes%5B2%2812%29%2B6%2B16%5D)
= 
= 102 g (3 s.f.)
<u>Method 2: using </u><u>mass of carbon dioxide</u><u> produced</u>
Mole of carbon dioxide produced
= 97.7 ÷[12 +2(16)]
= 97.7 ÷44
=
mol
Moles of ethanol: moles of carbon dioxide= 1: 1
Moles of ethanol formed=
mol
Mass of ethanol formed
= ![\frac{977}{440} \times[2(12)+6+16]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B977%7D%7B440%7D%20%5Ctimes%5B2%2812%29%2B6%2B16%5D)
= 102 g (3 s.f.)
Thus, 102 g of ethanol are formed.

Colligative properties are those substances that depend
on the number of substances in the solution, not in the identity of that
substance. The property changes the way that it does when the amount of solute
is increased because it enables the solute to be scattered more. For example,
the freezing point of salt water is lower than that of the pure water due to
the salt ions present in water.
