A gaseous hydrogen and carbon containing compound is decomposed and found to contain 85.63% C and 14.37% H by mass. The mass of 258 mLof the gas, measured at STP, was found to be 0.646 g. What is the molecular formula of the compound?
% by mass of Carbon = 85.63%
% by mass of Hydrogen = 14.37%
volume = 258 mL = 0.258L
at STP
P= 1 atm
T= 273K
R=0.0821L-atm/mol-K
PV=nRT
n= PV./RT = 1 x 0.258/0.0821 x 273
n = 0.0115 mole
mass = 0.646 g
number of moles = mass/molar mass
molar mass = mass/number of moles = 0.646/0.0115= 56.17 gram/mole
molar mass = 56.17 gram/mole
Element % by mass atomic weight relative number simple ratio
C 85.63 12.0 85.63/12.0=7.13 7.13/7.13= 1.0
H 14.37 1.0 14.37/1.0= 14.37 14.37/7.13= 2.01= 2.0
Emperical formula = CH2
Emperical formula mass = 12+2=14
Molar mass = 56.17
n= molar mass/emperical formula mass = 56.17/14.0=4.01
n= 4.0
Molecular formula = n x emperical formula
Molecular formula = 4xCH2 = C4H8
Molecular formula = C4H8.
