Question

The % composition of a substance is P =32.63 , 0 =16.82 & S = 50.55. The V.D of substance is 190. Find the molecular formula of the substance .
please urgent

Answer 1

Answer:

Your answer:

Find the ratio between the molar mass and the percentage of each element

P = \frac{32.63}{31}

31

32.63

= 1

O = \frac{16.82}{16}

16

16.82

= 1

S = \frac{50.55}{32}

32

50.55

= 1.5

By taking ratio: 1: 1: 1.5 = 2: 2: 3

So, the empirical formula will be: P₂O₂S₃

Molar mass of P₂O₂S₃ = 190

Molar mass of a compound = 2 x V.D

= 2 x 190 = 380

divide 380 by 190

You will get 2

Now, multiply the number of atoms in P₂O₂S₃ by 2

=> P₄O₄S₆ is your answer
