Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up a compound.
The percentage composition of each element has been given
therefore the mass present of each element in 100 g of compound is
B N H
mass 40.28 g 52.20 g 7.53 g
number of moles
40.28 g / 11 g/mol 52.20 g / 14 g/mol 7.53 g / 1 g/mol
= 3.662 mol = 3.729 mol = 7.53 mol
divide the number of moles by the least number of moles, that is 3.662
3.662 / 3.662 3.729 / 3.662 7.53 / 3.662
= 1.000 = 1.018 = 2.056
the ratio of the elements after rounding off to the nearest whole number is
B : N : H = 1 : 1 : 2
therefore empirical formula for the compound is B₁N₁H₂
that can be written as BNH₂
Answer : The molar mass of the solute would be low.
Explanation :
Formula used for depression in freezing point is:
where,
= change in freezing point
= freezing point of solution
= freezing point of water
i = Van't Hoff factor
= freezing point constant
m = molality
= mass of solute
= mass of solvent
= molar mass of solute
From the formula we conclude that, when the freezing point of the solution read incorrectly that is freezing point of the solution is lower than the true freezing point then this means that change in freezing point would be high and the molar mass of the solute would be low.
Hence, the molar mass of the solute would be low.
Answer:
In general an acid reacts with a carbonate or hydrogen-carbonate to produce a salt, carbon dioxide gas and water.
