Question

An organic compound was found to be made of 3 elements,C , H , O . the compound contain 26.08% of C , 34.78% of O and rest is hydrogen.if molecular mass of the compound is 46g/mol than calculate emperical mass and molecular formula??

Answer 1

The empherical mass is95 g As the empherical formula we get is C2H39O2 by calculating the moles of each.. The molecular formula isC2H5OH The molecular mass is 46 g/mol
