6 hours ago The atomic mass is given by = B + 3 (H) = 10.81 + 3 (1) = 13.81u. But, the measured molecular mass for Boron atom is given as 27.66u. By using the expression, Molecular formula = n × empirical formula. n = molecular formula/empirical formula = 27.66 13.81 27.66 13.81 = 2. Putting value of n = 2 in the empirical formula we get molecular

Frequently Asked Questions

How does one determine a molecular formula from the empirical formula?

Divide this number by the molecular weight of the empirical formula to find the number of empirical formula units that make up the compound. Number of empirical formula units in compound = 180.18 g/mol/30.03 g/mol.

How does empirical formula differ from molecular?

An empirical formula gives the simplest and most reduced whole number ratio of atoms whereas a molecular formula gives the actual ratio of atoms in a compound.

Which compound has the same empirical and molecular formula?

Note:

  • Different compounds can have the same empirical formula. For example, ethylene C 2 H 4 and propylene C 3 H 6 have the same empirical formula, CH 2. ...
  • None of them talks about the structure of a compound. The structure of a compound is understood by the structural formula.
  • The empirical formula and the molecular formula can be the same for many compounds. ...

How do you find the molecular and empirical formulas?

Empirical formula weight = (1 x 12.01g/mol) + (2 x 1.01g/mol) + (1 x 16.00g/mol) = 30.02g/mol. Divide the molar mass for the molecular formula by the empirical formula mass. The result determines how many times to multiply the subscripts in the empirical formula to get the molecular formula.
