Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: Molecular formula needs to be determined for
Concept introduction: Atoms combine to form molecules. Molecular formula is the chemical formula, which shows actual number of atoms of each element present in the molecule of the compound.
(a)
Answer to Problem 5E
Explanation of Solution
The structure of the molecule is as follows:
Total number of ‘C’ atom = 3
Total number ‘H’ atom = 6
Total number of ‘O’ atom = 2
Therefore the molecular formula is
(b)
Interpretation: The molecular formula needs to be determined for
Concept introduction: Atoms combine to form molecules. Molecular formula is the chemical formula, which shows actual number of atoms of each element present in the molecule of the compound.
(b)
Answer to Problem 5E
Explanation of Solution
The structure of the molecule is represented as follows:
Total number of ‘C’ atom = 5
Total number ‘H’ atom = 10
Total number of ‘O’ atom = 1
Therefore, the molecular formula is
