The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is C_2S and $C_{16}S_8$ respectively.

Explanation:

We are given:

Percentage of C = 42.83 %

Percentage of S = 57.17 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of C = 42.83 g

Mass of S = 57.17 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{42.83g}{12g/mole}=3.57moles$

Moles of Sulfur = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Sulfur}}{\text{Molar mass of Sulfur}}=\frac{57.17g}{32g/mole}=1.79moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 1.79 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{3.57}{1.79}=1.99\approx 2$

For Sulfur = $\frac{1.79}{1.79}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : S = 2 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is C_2S_1=C_2S

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 448.70 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 56 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{448.70g/mol}{56g/mol}=8$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(8\times 2)}S_{(8\times 1)}=C_{16}S_8$

Thus, the empirical and molecular formula for the given compound is C_2S and $C_{16}S_8$

Answer from: Quest

explanation:

venn diagram is pictorial representation with of circles showing the relation between two finite sets or things. the intersection part of two circles conveys the relation present in between those sets or things.

here in the venn diagram of sand and salt two circles represent sand and salt. but the area falling under the intersection of these circle represents the mixture of sand and salt.

so, in a venn diagram the mixture will be placed in a middle that is in between the intersection of two circles.
