Question

A compound was found to contain 78.2 percent Boron and 21.8 percent hydrogen what is the mole formula of compound if mole mass is 27.6 u? I will mark the person brainliest

Answer 1

Explanation:

Element

Mass (g)

78.2 21.8

Moles

78.2/10.8 21.8/1

(moles = mass/molar mass of atoms of the

element)

Ratio 7.24

Divide by 7.24/7.24 21.8/7.24

(this makes the number of atoms of the

smallest one = 1)

Approx

Approx 3

Empirical (simplest) formula = BH3

smallest 3.01

This has a formula mass of 10.8 + 1 x 3 = 13.8

So the molecular formula is 27.6/13.8 = 2.0

times bigger than the empirical formula

So molecular formula is B2H6
