a gaseous hydrogen and carbon containing compound is decomposed and found to contain 79.85% C and 20.15% H by mass
A.) What is the empirical formula of the
compound?
I already found the the empirical formula, its CH3
B.) at 43.0 °C and 0.984 atm, the gas occupies a volume of 1.8 L and has a mass of 2.04g. what is the molecular formula of the compound?
A)
we have mass of each elements as:
C: 79.85 g
H: 20.15 g
Divide by molar mass to get number of moles of each:
C: 79.85/12.01 = 6.649
H: 20.15/1.008 = 19.99
Divide by smallest to get simplest whole number ratio:
C: 6.649/6.649 = 1
H: 19.99/6.649 = 3
So empirical formula is:CH3
Answer: CH3
B)
Given:
P = 0.984 atm
V = 1.8 L
T = 43.0 oC
= (43.0+273) K
= 316 K
find number of moles using:
P * V = n*R*T
0.984 atm * 1.8 L = n * 0.08206 atm.L/mol.K * 316 K
n = 6.83*10^-2 mol
mass(solute)= 2.04 g
use:
number of mol = mass / molar mass
6.83*10^-2 mol = (2.04 g)/molar mass
molar mass = 29.87 g/mol
This is molar mass of molecule.
Molar mass of CH3,
MM = 1*MM(C) + 3*MM(H)
= 1*12.01 + 3*1.008
= 15.034 g/mol
Now we have:
Molar mass = 29.87 g/mol
Empirical formula mass = 15.034 g/mol
Multiplying factor = molar mass / empirical formula mass
= 29.87/15.034
= 2
So molecular formula is:C2H6
Answer: C2H6
