Question
Chapter 9, Problem 91A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The difference between the information conveyed by molecular formula and a formula unit is to be determined.
Concept Introduction: The chemical formula of a compound gives us information about each constituent element present in the compound and indicates the proportion of each element in the compound.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 91A
A molecular formula represents the exact composition of the compound, whereas the formula unit gives the lowest whole number ratio of elements present in the compound.
Explanation of Solution
The molecular formula represents the exact number of atoms of each element present per molecule of the compound. But formula unit, also known as empirical formula denotes the simplest ratio between each element present in the compound. It may or may not be equal to the molecular formula of the compound.
