Compound x, isolated from lanolin (sheep's wool fat), has the pungent aroma of dirty sweatsocks. a careful analysis showed that compound x contains 62% carbon and 10.4% hydrogen. no nitrogen or halogen was found.

a. compute an empirical formula for compound x.

express your answer as a condensed structural formula.

b. a molecular weight determination showed that compound x has a molecular weight of approximately 117. find the molecular formula of compound x.

express your answer as a condensed structural formula.

The empirical formula of compound X .

The molecular formula of compound X .

Explanation:

Compound X contains 62% carbon and 10.4% hydrogen.Suppose in 100 g of compound 62 grams of carbon ,10.4 grams of hydrogen  is present and 27.6 grams.

Moles of carbon =

Moles of hydrogen =

Moles of oxygen =

For empirical formula divide the smallest number of moles of from all the moles of element:

For carbon =

For hydrogen =

For oxygen =

Empirical formula for compound X :

The empirical formula of compound X .

Empirical mass for compound X :

=

Molecular mass of the compound X = 117 g/mol

Molecular formula for compound X :

The molecular formula of compound X .
