Answer from: Kana81

Molecular formula => C₁₂H₁₂O₃

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Molar mass of compound = 205gmol¯¹

Mass of Carbon (C) = 3.758 g

Mass of Hydrogen (H) = 0.316 g

Mass of Oxygen (O) = 1.251 g

Molecular formula =?

We'll begin by determining the empirical formula of the compound. This can be obtained as follow:

C = 3.758 g

H = 0.316 g

O = 1.251 g

Divide by their molar masses

C = 3.758 /12 = 0.313

H = 0.316 /1 = 0.316

O = 1.251 /16 = 0.078

Divide by the smallest.

C = 0.313 / 0.078 = 4

H = 0.316 / 0.078 = 4

O = 0.078 / 0.078 = 1

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is C₄H₄O

Finally, we shall determine the molecular formula of the compound. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of compound = 205gmol¯¹

Empirical formula => C₄H₄O

Molecular formula =>?

[C₄H₄O]ₙ = 205

[(12×4) + (4×1) +16]n = 205

[48 + 4 +16]n = 205

68n = 205

Divide both side by n

n = 205 / 68

n = 3

Molecular formula => [C₄H₄O]ₙ

Molecular formula => [C₄H₄O]₃

Molecular formula => C₁₂H₁₂O₃

Answer from: Quest

For cyclohexane compounds drawn in a chair conformation: -axial bonds are vertical -equatorial bonds are parallel to two bonds within the ring. thus, as i assume the chair conformation is drawn: -the x group is in an axial position, as are the five other vertical bonds. -three axial bonds are on the top face of the ring -the other three axial bonds are on the bottom face the position of the second substituent on each ring carbon is equatorial. gauche groups must be on an adjacent carbon such as carbon 6 and carbon 2, and also gauche groups are rotated by 60 degrees relative to each other. drawing the newman projections for c1–c2 and c1–c6 aids in visualizing the groups that are gauche to the y group on c1. click this link and watch some academic videos that may you more understand the topic
