The empirical formula : C₂Cl₇
The molecular formula : C₁₀Cl₃₅
Further explanation
Given
8.81 g Carbon
91.2 g Chlorine
Molar Mass: 1362.5 g/mol
Required
The empirical formula and molecular formula
Solution
Mol ratio :
C = 8.81 g : 12.011 g/mol =0.733
Cl = 91.2 g : 35,453 g/mol = 2..572
Divide by 0.733
C : Cl = 1 : 3.5 = 2 : 7
The empirical formula : C₂Cl₇
(The empirical formula)n = the molecular formula
(C₂Cl₇)n = 1362.5
(2x12.011+7x35.453)n=1362.5
(272.193)n=1362.5
n = 5
