CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O
From the equation, we know that methane and carbon dioxide have the same number of moles.
no. of moles of CO₂ produced = no. of moles of methane
= 4.5 × 10⁻³ ÷ (12 + 1×4)
= 2.8125 × 10⁻⁴
∴ mass of CO₂ = 2.8125 × 10⁻⁴ × (12 + 16×2)
= 12.375 × 10⁻³ g
Answer : The molecular formula of a compound is,
Solution : Given,
Mass of C = 64.03 g
Mass of H = 4.48 g
Mass of Cl = 31.49 g
Molar mass of C = 12 g/mole
Molar mass of H = 1 g/mole
Molar mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mole
Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.
Moles of C =
Moles of H =
Moles of Cl =
Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.
For C =
For H =
For Cl =
The ratio of C : H : Cl = 6 : 5 : 1
The mole ratio of the element is represented by subscripts in empirical formula.
The Empirical formula =
The empirical formula weight = 6(12) + 5(1) + 1(35.5) = 112.5 gram/eq
Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.
Formula used :
Molecular formula =
Therefore, the molecular of the compound is,
