Question

an organic compounds contains 54.2% carbon and 9.2% hydrogen. determine the empirical formula and molecular formula of the compound if the V.D of the compound is 44 .​

Answer 1

Answer:

Element  mass%Atomic mass(g)At.massmass%Integral ratio C 54.2 12 4.52 2 H 9.2 1 9.2 4 O 36.6 16 2.3 1% Oxygen = 100 - ( 54.2 + 9.2)

                  = 36.6 %

The empirical formula is C-2-H-4-O.
