Question
Chapter 3, Problem 59E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The molecular formula of a compound containing 26.7% P, 12.1% N and 61.2% Cl needs to be determined. The molar mass of the compound is given 580 g/mol.
Concept Introduction: The molecular formula of a compound can be calculated by first calculating the empirical formula. It is the smallest ratio of atoms involved in the formation of compound. The number of moles can be calculated as follows:
Here, m is mass and M is molar mass.
