A substance floats or sinks in another because of its relative density. Take ice floating in water for example. Water is more dense than ice so ice floats.
Mass is incorrect as the buoyancy or ability of an object to float depends on the mass per volume, which is equivalent to density.
Answer:
1. The empirical formula => C₆H₁₀OS₂
2. Molecular formula => C₃₆H₆₀O₆S₁₂
Explanation:
1. Determination of the empirical formula.
Carbon (C) = 2.96 g
Hydrogen (H) = 0.414 g
Oxygen (O) = 0.675 g
Sulphur (S) = 2.96 g
Divide by their molar mass
C = 2.96 / 12 = 0.247
H = 0.414 / 1 = 0.414
O = 0.675 / 16 = 0.042
S = 2.96 / 32 = 0.0925
Divide by the smallest
C = 0.247 / 0.042 = 6
H = 0.414 / 0.042 = 10
O = 0.042 / 0.042 = 1
S = 0.0925 /0.042 = 2
Therefore, the empirical formula is
C₆H₁₀OS₂
2. Determination of the molecular formula.
Molar mass of compound = 972 g/mol
Empirical formula => C₆H₁₀OS₂
Molecular formula =>?
Molecular formula = [C₆H₁₀OS₂]ₙ
Molecular formula = molar mass of compound
Thus,
[C₆H₁₀OS₂]ₙ = 972
[(12×6) + (10×1) + 16 + (32×2)]n = 972
[72 + 10 + 16 + 64]n = 32
162n = 972
Divide both side by 162
n = 972 / 162
n = 6
Molecular formula = [C₆H₁₀OS₂]ₙ
Molecular formula = [C₆H₁₀OS₂]₆
Molecular formula = C₃₆H₆₀O₆S₁₂
To know the mass of the acetone we must multiply the volume of the acetone with its density. but since the volume is in ml units and the density is in g/cm3. we must convert it firstsince 1 ml = 1 cm3
so mass acetone = 13.06 mL (0.7857 g/ml)mass acetone = 10.848 g
Conformity can be inappropriate when you’re confirming to do negotiate things. Example smoke cigs
