An organic compound contains 72% carbon, 12% hydrogen and 16% oxygen by mass. The empirical formula of the compound is

C8H22O3

C6H10O3

C12H12O

C6H12O

C3H6O

Detalles de la respuesta

carbon = 72%, hydrogen = 12%, 16%

Dividing by the atomic weight we have for C = $\frac{5}{1}$ = 6

H = $\frac{12}{1}$ = 12

O = $\frac{16}{16}$ = 1

Divide by the smallest number, we have = $\frac{6}{1}$ = 6

H = $\frac{12}{1}$ = 12

O = $\frac{1}{1}$ = 1

The formula is C6H12O

Detalles de la respuesta

\frac{P_{1} V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{4 P_{1} \times 4 V_{1}}{T_{2}}

i.e $\frac{P_{1} V_{1}}{298} = \frac{4 P_{1} \times 4 V_{1}}{T_{2}}$

T2 = $\frac{298 \times 4 P_{1} \times 4 V_{1}}{P_{1} V_{1}}$

= 298 + 16 = 4768.0k
