A23.0g sample of a compound contains 12.0g of c, 3.0g of h, and 8.0g of o. what the empirical formula of the compound

The empirical formula of compound is C₂H₆O.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of carbon = 12 g

Mass of hydrogen = 3 g

Mass of oxygen = 8 g

Empirical formula of compound = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the gram atom of each elements.

no of gram atom of carbon = 12 g / 12 g/mol = 1 g atoms

no of gram atom of hydrogen = 3 g / 1 g/mol = 3 g atoms

no of gram atom of oxygen = 8 g / 16 g/mol = 0.5 g atoms

Now we will calculate the atomic ratio by dividing the gram atoms with the 0.5 because it is the smallest number among these three.

          C:H:O  =     1/0.5  :   3/0.5  :   0.5/0.5

          C:H:O  =     2      :     6      :     1

The empirical formula of compound will be C₂H₆O

8 m/s because for him to get the same amount of energy as ray is putting out, bobby, who weighs half as much as ray, needs to run twice as fast.

fe 55.85 g/mol and h2o 18.02 g/mol.
