Empirical formula units is 2 and the molecular formula is CxHyOz.
Molar mass-The molar mass of a chemical compound is determined by dividing its mass by the quantity of that compound, expressed as the number of moles in the sample, measured in moles. The molar mass of a substance is a bulk attribute rather than a molecular one.Calculate the molar mass of a substance by adding the molar masses of its constituent atoms.
There are 40.0 in 100 g of the unknown.
40.0⋅g/12.011⋅g⋅mol−1C
6.7⋅g/1.00794⋅g⋅mol−1 H and
53.5⋅g/16.00gmol−1
We divide by to get C : H : O.
=3.33:6.65:3.34
. We get an empirical formula of C H 2 O by dividing each elemental ratio by the LOWEST number, which is close enough to WHOLE numbers.
Now the molecular formula is always a multiple of the empirical formula; i.e.
(EF)n=MF.
So 60.0⋅g.mol−1=n×(12.011+2×1.00794+16.00)g⋅mol−1.
Clearly n=2, and the molecular formula is×(CH2O) =CxHyOz.
