Question

27 An organic Compound contains
4:07% hydrogen. 24.22
Carbon 71.65% chlorine. Its molecular mass
Calculate the empirical & molecular formula
b) what is limiting reagent?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Empirical formulas is CH2Cl

Explanation:

Do refer my calculations steps in the pic for a)

Since yr question are not complete, didn't mention the value of molecular mass, so i can't calculate for u. However you can calculate by using following steps:

Molar mass of CH2Cl＝12+(1*2)+35.5＝49.5

(CH2Cl)n＝molecular mass

49.5n＝molecular mass

n ＝?

Then subs into formula (CH2Cl)n, to get molecular formula.

B) Find each no. Of mole of H, Cl, C from a)

The smallest no. of mole is the limiting reagent.
