One difference between molecular formula and molecular weight.​

Chemistry
1 answer:
jek_recluse [69]2 years ago
3 0

Answer: The formula mass (formula weight) of a molecule is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in its empirical formula. The molecular mass (molecular weight) of a molecule is its average mass as calculated by adding together the atomic weights of the atoms in the molecular formula.

Hope this helps.... Stay safe and have a great weekend!!!!! :D

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The balanced reaction in the acidic medium is:

2MnO4^-+3CN^-+2H^+\rightarrow 2MnO_2+H_2O+3CNO^-

Explanation:

CN^- + MnO4^-\rightarrow CNO^- + MnO_2

1) CN^-\rightarrow CNO^- ( oxidation)

Balance oxygen by adding water :

CN^-+H_2O\rightarrow CNO^-

Now , balance hydrogen by adding hydrogen ions on the side where hydrogen are less.

CN^-+H_2O\rightarrow CNO^-+2H^+

Add electrons to balance charge where positive charge is more.

CN^-+H_2O\rightarrow CNO^-+2H^++2e^-..[1]

2) MnO4^-\rightarrow MnO_2 (reduction)

Balance oxygen by adding water :

MnO4^-\rightarrow MnO_2+2H_2O

Now , balance hydrogen by adding hydrogen ions by adding them on the side where hydrogen are less.

MnO4^-+4H^+\rightarrow MnO_2+2H_2O..[2]

Add electrons to balance charge where positive charge is more.

MnO4^-+4H^++3e^-\rightarrow MnO_2+2H_2O..[2]

3 × [1] + 2 × [2]

The balanced reaction in the acidic medium is:

2MnO4^-+3CN^-+2H^+\rightarrow 2MnO_2+H_2O+3CNO^-

Determine the molecular formula for the unknown if the molecular mass is 60.0 amu and the empirical formula is ch2o.
mezya [45]

Answer:

The molecular formule for this unknow molecule is C2H4O2

Explanation:

The empirical formula is CH2O  ( or better said CnH2nOn)

This means there are 3 elements in the formula of this molecule

⇒ Carbon (C) with a Molar mass of 12 g/mole

⇒ Hydrogen (H) with a Molar mass of 1 g/mole

⇒ Oxygen (O) with a Molar mass of 16 g/mole

We can also notice that the amount of hydrogen should 2x the amount of carbon ( also 2x the amount of oxygen).

The mass of the empirical formule = 12g/ mole + 2* 1 g/mole + 16 g/mole = 30 g/mole

To know what number is n in CnH2nOn we should divide the molecular mass by the empirical mass:

60 g/mole / 30g/mole = 2

this means n = 2

and this will give a molecular formule of C2H4O2  

We can control this to calculate the molecular mass:

2*12 + 4* 1 + 2*16 = 24 + 4 + 32 = 60 g/mole

The molecular formule for this unknow molecule is C2H4O2
