Benzene, an organic solvent, has the empirical formula ch. if the molar mass of benzene is 78.11 g/mol, what is the molecular formula of benzene?

Explanation:

Molecular formula defined as the chemical formula which shows actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

                        Molecular formula =

where,    n = 1, 2, 3,.....

On the other hand, empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which shows the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Formula to calculate empirical mass of CH is as follows.

          Empirical mass = 1 × atomic mass of C + 1 × atomic mass of H

                                     = 1 × (12.01 amu) + 1 × (1.008 amu)

                                      = 13.018 amu

Hence, value of n will be calculated as follows.

                  n =

                      =

                       = 6

Thus, we can conclude that molecular formula of benzene is .

The molecular formula of benzene is C₆H₆

Explanation:

Empirical formula of benzene: C₁H₁  

Atomic mass of carbon (C) = 12.01 g/mol    

Atomic mass of hydrogen (H) = 12.01 g/mol      

Therefore, Empirical formula mass of C₁H₁ = 1 × Atomic mass of C +  1 × Atomic mass of H = 12.01 + 1.008 = 13.018 g/mol

The given molar mass of benzene = 78.11 g/mol  

Since, Molar mass = n × (Empirical formula mass)  

Therefore, n = (Molar mass) ÷ (Empirical formula mass)  

n = (78.11 g/mol) ÷ (13.018 g/mol) ≅ 6

Since, Molecular formula = (Empirical formula)ₙ

Therefore, Molecular formula of benzene = (C₁H₁)₆ = C₆H₆

what are the statements

a). in this case, dh> 0 and sd> 0. if t becomes larger, the term "-tds" will become more negative. at some point, it is possible that -dts will be more negative than the dh is positive, and the reaction will become spontaneous. this is probably the correct answer, but you should look at all of the other possibilities and make sure of that.
