ASAP , 8.81 g Carbon
Molar Mass: 1362.5 g/mol
91.2 g Chlorine
What is the empirical formula and molecular formula ?


Sagot :

The empirical formula : C₂Cl₇

The molecular formula : C₁₀Cl₃₅

Further explanation

Given

8.81 g Carbon

91.2 g Chlorine

Molar Mass: 1362.5 g/mol

Required

The empirical formula and molecular formula

Solution

Mol ratio :

C = 8.81 g : 12.011 g/mol =0.733

Cl = 91.2 g : 35,453 g/mol = 2..572

Divide by 0.733

C : Cl = 1 : 3.5 = 2 : 7

The empirical formula : C₂Cl₇

(The empirical formula)n = the molecular formula

(C₂Cl₇)n = 1362.5

(2x12.011+7x35.453)n=1362.5

(272.193)n=1362.5

n = 5
