Students have asked these similar questions
you are to determine the molecular formula for a molecular compound consisting of only carbon & hydrogen. The molar mass of this compound is 42.08 g/mol.
Part D:
The empirical formula has a molar mass of 14.026 g/mol (this is called the empirical molar mass). Divide the molar mass for the total compound given above by the empirical formula molar mass.
This will give you a number for multiplying the carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms in the empirical formula.
What is the multiplication value?
A chemist must determine the empirical formula of an ionic compound composed only of iron and oxygen. Chemical analysis reveals that the compound is composed of 1.252 moles of iron and 1.879 moles of oxygen. What is the empirical formula of this compound?
The composition of a compound was found to be 66.7% C, 25.9% N and 7.41% H by mass? What is the empirical formula for the compound?
If the molar mass was determined to be 108.0 g, what is the molecular formula of this compound?
In your answer, be sure to first state the empirical formula followed by the molecular formula.
