Chapter 10, Problem 3STP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The empirical formula for ethanol using graph should be predicted.

Chemistry: Matter and Change, Chapter 10, Problem 3STP

Concept introduction:

The representation of atoms of a compound in simple whole number ratio is known as empirical formula.

The rules for determining empirical formula are given as follows:

  • Determine the mass of elements in given compound.
  • Calculate number of moles using molar mass of each compound or element.
  • Divide each number of moles by smallest number of mole value calculated in second step.
  • Round the value calculated in step 3 to nearest whole number.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 3STP

The empirical formula for ethanol is C2H6O.

Explanation of Solution

From the graph, considering 100 g mass, mass of carbon = 52.2 g, mass of hydrogen = 13.0 g and mass of oxygen = 34.8 g.

Now, calculating the moles of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen using their molar mass as follows:

Molesofcarbon=GivenmassMolarmass=52.2g12.0107g/molnC=4.35molMolesofhydrogen=13.0g1.008g/molnH=12.9molMolesofoxygen=34.8g15.999g/molnO=2.175mol

Now, dividing each mole value by smallest mole value as follows:

nc=4.352.175=2nH=12.92.175=6nO=2.1752.175=1

Thus, the empirical formula of ethanol is C2H6O.

Hence, the correct option is (C) that is C2H6O.
