Ibuprofen a common pain remedy has an empirical formula of C7H9O and a molar mass of approximately 218.078 grams per mole. What is the molecular formula of ibuprofen?

molar mass of empirical = 7x12 + 9x1 + 16 = 109 g/mole218.078/109 = 2 so there are 2 empirical formulae in 1 molecular formulaThe molecular formula is therefore C14H18O2

How do you calculate Molecular formula from empirical formulaWhat could you do with that information to determine that the empirical and molecular formulas are related to one another by a factor of 6?

In order to find molecular formula from empirical formula, one needs to know the molar mass of the molecular formula. Then you simply divide the molar mass of the molecular formula by the molar mass of the empirical formula to find out how many empirical formulae are in the molecular formula. Then you multiply the subscripts in the empirical formula by that number.

Why phenol does not dissolve in water when excess?

Phenol is slightly soluble in water due to hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl group of phenol and water molecules. However, when excess phenol is added, it disrupts the hydrogen bonding network of water molecules, making it less soluble. This is because phenol-phenol interactions become stronger than phenol-water interactions, leading to precipitation.
