A solution is made by mixing equal masses of ethanol C2H6O and methanol CH4O Determine the mole fraction of each component to at least three significant figures?

First figure the molar mass for each...C2H6O=46 & CH4O=32. Together C2H6O(46)+CH4O(32)= 78 Now you take molar mass / total molar mass So C2H6O(46)/total mass (C2H6O+CH4O)78= C2H60 or ethanol=0.410 and CH4O(32)/total mass 78=CH4O or methanol=0.589


Determine the molecular formula of a compound if its empirical formula is C2H6O and its molar mass is 138g?

Because an empirical formula is the simplest form of a compound, we know that the molecular formula contains more atoms than it does. Since we are given the molar mass, we can use this formula. x ( MM of empirical formula ) = MM of molecular formula MM of empirical formula = 12(2) + 1(6) + 16 = 46 MM of molecular formula = 138 46x = 138 x= 138 / 46 x=3 Therefore, the molecular formula is 3(C2H6O) that is C6H18O3

Explain why the percent composition of certain compounds are not sufficient to determine the compounds molecular formulas?

Because unlike the empirical formula, the molecular formula does not have to be the simplest ratio.If by chance you are given the percent composition of the elements in a substance, you could calculate the empirical formula and then the empirical formula's mass. However, the molecular formula equation is molecular formula= (empirical formula)n, where n is the mass of the molecular formula divided by the mass of the empirical formula. You would, therefore, need to know the mass belonging to the molecular formula, which you are not given.


What is the number of moles in 508 g of ethanol?

To find the number of moles in 508g of ethanol (C2H5OH), first calculate the molar mass of ethanol: 2(12.01) + 6(1.01) + 1(16.00) = 46.08 g/mol. Next, divide the given mass by the molar mass to find the number of moles: 508g / 46.08 g/mol ≈ 11 moles.
