What’s the empirical formula of a molecule containing 65.5% carbon, 5.5% hydrogen, and 29.0% oxygen if the molar mass is 110 g/mol

Empirical formula :

Molecular formula :

Explanation:

STEP 1: Calculate the moles of each species i.e C , H , O

Molecule containing 65.5% carbon, 5.5% hydrogen, and 29.0% oxygen means

Mass of Carbon = 65.5 gram

Mass of Hydrogen = 5.5 gram

Mass of oxygen =  29.0 gram

Moles of C:

Molar mass of C = 12.0 gram

Moles of C = 5.45

Moles of H:

Molar mass = 1.0 gram

Moles of H = 5.5 moles

Moles of O :

Molar mass of O = 16.00 gram

Moles of O = 1.81 moles

STEP2 : Calculate the simple ratio of C ,H,O by dividing with 1.81 (Because it is the minimum moles present)

Always divide by minimum number of moles

For C

= 3.00

For H

= 3.03

= 3.00 (round off the answer to nearest whole number)

For O

= 1.00

So we get the empirical formula:

STEP 3: Calculate the "n" value to obtain the molecular formula using:

Empirical mass =

= 3(mass of C)+3(mass of H)+ mass of O

= 3x12 + 3x1 + 16

= 55 grams

Molar mass = 110 g/mole

n = 2

STEP 4: Multiply the empirical formula with n

8 m/s because for him to get the same amount of energy as ray is putting out, bobby, who weighs half as much as ray, needs to run twice as fast.

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".
