Phentyfloroform contains 57.54% c, 3.45% h, and 39.01% f. what is its empirical formula?

Empirical formula is C₇H₅F₃

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of hydrogen = 3.45%

Percentage of carbon = 57.54%

Percentage of fluorine = 39.01%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 3.45 / 1.01 = 3.42

Number of gram atoms of F = 39.01 / 18.99 = 2.05

Number of gram atoms of C = 57.54/ 12.01 = 4.79

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :        H                :         F

           4.79/2.05         :     3.42/2.05      :       2.05/2.05

            2.34                 :        1.67                  :        1

C : H : F = 3(2.34 : 1.67 : 1 )

Empirical formula is C₇H₅F₃.

b.final

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
