The empirical formula and molecular mass of a compound are $$CH_2O$$ and 180 g respectively. What will be the molecular formula of the compound?
A compound, on analysis, gave the following percentage composition : $$Na = 14.31\%, S = 9.97\%, H = 6.22\%, O = 69.5\%$$ What would be the molecular formula of the compound assuming that all the hydrogen in the compound is reset in combination with oxygen as water of crystallisation. Molecular weight of the compound is $$322$$.
Element mass % Atomic mass(g) m%/At. mass Integral ratio
Na 14.31 23 0.622 2
S 9.97 32 0.311 1
H 6.22 1 6.22 20
O 69.5 16 4.34 14
Empirical formula is therefore $$Na_2SH_{20}O_{14}$$
empirical mass=$$2\times 23+32+20 \times 1+ 14 \times 16=322$$g
Given:
Molecular mass = 322 g
$$\therefore$$ molecular formula =empirical formula=$$Na_2SH_{20}O_{14}$$
Given that all the hydrogen in the compound is reset in combination with oxygen as water of crystallisation
If water of crystallization are $$nH_2O$$ then, $$2n=20$$
or $$n=10$$
Crystallized water is $$10H_2O$$ remaining atoms are $$Na_2SO_{4}$$
therefore, the molecule is $$Na_2SO_4.10H_2O$$
