Answer:

C8H20P4F8

Explanation:

Molecular formula is based off a ratio of the molecular formula's molar mass divided by the empirical formula's molar mass.

The molar mass of the empirical formula C2H5PF2 is 98.02g. We find this by adding the molar masses of all elements in the formula, multiplied by their subscripts.

2(12.01) + 5(1.01) + 30.97 + 2(18.99) = 98.02

We then divide the molecular molar mass by the empirical molar mass.

392.16/98.02 = 4

This tells us that the molecular formula has 4 times the mass of the empirical formula. Because mass comes from the elements in the formula, we multiply all the subscripts by 4 to get the molecular formula.

2x4 = 8

5x4 = 20

1x4 = 4

2x4 = 8

So the molecular formula is C8H20P4F8

I NEED HELP ASAP!!!
Rus_ich [418]

Explanation:

To answer this question, we'll need to use the Ideal Gas Law:

p

V

=

n

R

T

,

where

p

is pressure,

V

is volume,

n

is the number of moles

R

is the gas constant, and

T

is temperature in Kelvin.

The question already gives us the values for

p

and

T

, because helium is at STP. This means that temperature is

273.15 K

and pressure is

1 atm

.

We also already know the gas constant. In our case, we'll use the value of

0.08206 L atm/K mol

since these units fit the units of our given values the best.

We can find the value for

n

by dividing the mass of helium gas by its molar mass:

n

=

number of moles

=

mass of sample

molar mass

=

6.00 g

4.00 g/mol

=

1.50 mol

Now, we can just plug all of these values in and solve for

V

:

p

V

=

n

R

T

V

=

n

R

T

p

=

1.50 mol

×

0.08206 L atm/K mol

×

273.15 K

1 atm

= 33.6 L

this is not the answer but it will help you
