Molar mass SiO2 = 28 + 32 = 60
<span>so moles sand = 3.4 x 10-7 / 60</span>
Answer:
C3H6O
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question. This includes:
Carbon (C) = 0.62069 g
Hydrogen (H) = 0.103448 g
Oxygen (O) = 0.275862 g
The empirical formula can be obtained as follow:
Step 1:
Divide by their molar mass.
C = 0.62069 / 12 = 0.0517
H = 0.103448 / 1 = 0.103448
O = 0.275862 / 16 = 0.0172
Step 2:
Divide by the smallest number.
C = 0.0517 / 0.0172 = 3
H = 0.103448 / 0.0172 = 6
O = 0.0172 / 0.0172 = 1
Step 3:
Writing the empirical formula.
The empirical formula is C3H6O
