Solutions

Expert Solution

(1) The empirical formula is the simplest formula for a compound.

Given molecular formula of dibromoethane is C₂H₄Br₂

A molecular formula is the same as or a multiple of the empirical formula, and is based on the actual number of atoms of each type in the compound.

The ratio of C , H , Br in C₂H₄Br₂ is C : H : Br = 2 : 4 : 2

The simplest ratio is C : H : Br = 1 : 2 : 1

So the emperical formula is CH₂Br

(2) Given compound is C₂H₅Cl

Molar mass of C₂H₅Cl is = ( 2xAt.mass of C ) + (5xAt.mass of H ) + At.mass of Cl

= ( 2x12) + ( 5x1) + 35.5

= 64.5 g/mol

Molar mass of C is = 12 g/mol

So the mass percent of C = ( mass of C / Molar mass of C₂H₅Cl) x 100

= ( 12 / 64.5) x 100

= 18.6

Therefore the mass percent composition of carbon in C₂H₅Cl is 18.6 %
