solve the problems????
Answers
Explanation:
Divide the given percentages of atoms with their molecular masses
H---4.07/1 =4.07
C---24.27/12 =2.02
Cl--71.65/35.5=2.01
step 2
divide all values with the lowest value obtained.
H---4.07/2.01=2
C---2.02/2.01=1
Cl---2.01/2.01=1
therefore the empirical formula is
CH
2
Cl
WEIGHT OF EMPIRICAL FORMULA=12+2+35.5=49.5
Given molecular weight =98.96 which is double of empirical weight .therefore molecular formula is C

Answer:
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.)
