Solve · page 60: Empirical formula of a compound is CH. Its molecular mass is 78 g mol". Find out its molecular formula.

Given: Empirical formula (ایمپیریکل فارمولا) = $\text{CH}$ Molecular mass (مالیکیولر ماس) = $78\text{ g mol}^{-1}$

Find: Molecular formula (مالیکیولر فارمولا)

Formula: $$\text{Empirical formula mass} = \text{Sum of atomic masses of all atoms in the empirical formula}$$ $$n = \frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical formula mass}}$$ $$\text{Molecular formula} = (\text{Empirical formula})_n$$

Solution:

  1. Calculate the empirical formula mass of $\text{CH}$ using the atomic masses of Carbon ($\text{C} = 12\text{ g mol}^{-1}$) and Hydrogen ($\text{H} = 1\text{ g mol}^{-1}$):

$$\text{Empirical formula mass} = 12\text{ g mol}^{-1} + 1\text{ g mol}^{-1}$$ $$\text{Empirical formula mass} = 13\text{ g mol}^{-1}$$

  1. Find the value of $n$:

$$n = \frac{78\text{ g mol}^{-1}}{13\text{ g mol}^{-1}}$$ $$n = 6$$

  1. Determine the molecular formula:

$$\text{Molecular formula} = (\text{CH})_6$$ $$\text{Molecular formula} = \text{C}_{6}\text{H}_{6}$$

Answer: $\text{C}_{6}\text{H}_{6}$
