An organic compound contains c = 36% , h=6% what is the emperical formula |
|
Answer» Answer: CH2 Explanation:
Percentage of carbon==>36 Percentage of hydrogen ==>6 Atomic mass of carbon ===>12 gram per mole. Atomic mass of hydrogen ==>1 gram per mole. Now divide the mass percentage by atomic mass of the element. Carbon ==>36/12=3 Hydrogen ==>6/1=6 To calculate EMPIRICAL formula we should calculate the simplest RATIO . For this divide the equation 1 by the SMALLEST RESULT . Carbon=>3/3=1 Hydrogen ==>6/3=2 The empirical formula is CH2. Please mark it as BRAINLIST. |
