a compound has a molar mass of 129 g/mol if its empirical formula is C2H5N then what is the molecular formula

Respuesta :

Given :

A compound has a molar mass of 129 g/mol .

Empirical formula of compound is C₂H₅N .

To Find :

The molecular formula of the compound.

Solution :

Empirical mass of compound :

[tex]M_e = ( 2 \times 12 ) + ( 5 \times 1 ) + ( 1 \times 14 )\\\\M_e = 43\ gram/mol[/tex]

Now, n-factor is :

[tex]n = \dfrac{M}{M_e}\\\\n = \dfrac{129}{43}\\\\n = 3[/tex]

Multiplying each atom in the formula by 3 , we get :

Molecular Formula, C₆H₁₅N₃

The molecular formula of the compound is C₆H₁₅N₃.

Calculation:

The Empirical mass of the compound is

[tex]= (2\times 12) + (5\times 1) + (1\times 14)\\\\[/tex]

= 43 gram/mol

Now n-factor should be

[tex]= 129 \div 43[/tex]

= 3

Now here we multiply every atom in the formula by 3 so it should be  C₆H₁₅N₃
