Answer:

C3H6.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question:

Mass of the compound = 8g

Mass of CO2 = 24.01g

Mass of H2O = 13.10g

Next, we shall determine the mass of C, H and O present in the compound. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 44g/mol

Molar Mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of C in compound = Mass of C/Molar Mass of CO2 x 24.01

=> 12/44 x 24.01 = 6.5g

Mass of H in the compound = Mass of H/Molar Mass of H2O x 13.1

=> 2x1/18 x 13.1 = 1.5g

Mass of O in the compound = Mass of compound – (mass of C + Mass of H)

=> 8 – (6.5 + 1.5) = 0

Next, we shall determine the empirical formula of the compound. This is illustrated below:

C = 6.5g

H = 1.

Divide by their molar mass

C = 6.5/12 = 0.54

H = 1.4/1 = 1.

Divide by the smallest

C = 0.54/0.54 = 1

H = 1/0.54 = 2

Therefore, the empirical formula is CH2

Finally, we shall determine the molecular formula as follow:

The molecular formula of a compound is a multiple of the empirical formula.

Molecular formula = [CH2]n

[CH2]n = 44

[12 + (2x1)]n = 44

14n = 44

Divide both side by 14

n = 44/14

n = 3

Molecular formula = [CH2]n = [CH2]3 = C3H6

Therefore, the molecular formula of the compound is C3H6

The vapor pressure of diethyl ether (ether) is 463.57 mm Hg at 25 °C. A nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte that dissolves in diethyl et
Alexxx [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The vapor pressure of solution is 459.17 mmHg

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

  • <u>For testosterone:</u>

Given mass of testosterone = 7.752 g

Molar mass of testosterone = 288.4 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of testosterone}=\frac{7.752g}{288.4g/mol}=0.027mol

  • <u>For diethyl ether:</u>

Given mass of diethyl ether = 208.0 g

Molar mass of diethyl ether = 74.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of diethyl ether}=\frac{208.0g}{74.12g/mol}=2.81mol

Mole fraction of a substance is calculated by using the equation:

\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}

\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=\frac{n_{\text{testosterone}}}{n_{\text{testosterone}}+n_{\text{diethyl ether}}}

\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=\frac{0.027}{0.027+2.81}\\\\\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=0.0095

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be:

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=i\times \chi_{\text{solute}}

where,

p^o = vapor pressure of solvent (diethyl ether) = 463.57 mmHg

p^s = vapor pressure of the solution = ?

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolytes)

\chi_{\text{solute}} = mole fraction of solute (testosterone) = 0.0095

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{463.57-p^s}{463.57}=1\times 0.0095\\\\p^s=459.17mmHg

Hence, the vapor pressure of solution is 459.17 mmHg
