Question

An organic compound contains 92.31% carbon and 7.69% hydrogen . Calculate the empirical formula of the compound

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is your answer buddy

Answer 2

Answer:

So, the Empirical formula = (CH)₁ = C₁H₁ = CH

Explanation:

It is given to us that :

Percentage carbon  = 92.31 %

and Percentage Hydrogen = 7.69 %

therefore the table :

ELEMENT   PERCENTAGE  ATOMIC MASS    NO. OF ATOMS   SIMPLEST            

                                                                                                         FORM

C                       92.31 %             12                    92.31/12=7.69     7.69/7.69=1

H                       7.69 %               1                      7.69/1=7.69        7.69/7.69=1

So, the Empirical formula = (CH)₁ = C₁H₁ = CH

Empirical formula :

• It is basically a ratio of the subscripts.

• It determines the general formula of the compound

• It also defines the simplest form of any compound.

• It is basically the lowest possible whole number ratio.
