Answers
The smallest value we got is 2.01
The empirical formula becomes CH₂Cl
Molecular weight of Empirical formula = 12 + 2(1) + 35.5 = 49.5
We are already given that molecular weight as 99.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Relation between Empirical formula and Molecular formula is given by ,
n is some integer which is given by ,
We know the values for calculating the value of n . So , by substituting we get ;
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Applying the first formulae , (i.e , relation between empirical formulae and Molecular formulae) we get ;
Hence , The molecular formula of the given compound is C₂H₄Cl₂.
Answer:
Calculate moles of each element - divide
% by atomic mass
C=19.998/12.011 = 1.665
H= 3.331/ 1.008 = 3.305
N= 23.320 / 14.007 = 1.665
O= 53.302 / 15.999 = 3.332
Divide through by smallest
C=1
H=2
N=1
O = 2 ( small rounding is accepted)
Empirical formula = CH2NO2
Formula mass = 12.011 +1.008'2 + 14.007 + 15.999:2 = 60.03 g/formula unit
Formula units in 1 molecule = 120.07 /
60.03 = 2
Molecular formula = ( CH2NO2)2 = C2H4N204 (1,2-dinitroethane.)
