Sir, I have a doubt in a question:
0.152 gram organic substance on combustion gives 0.304 gram of co2(carbon-dioxide) and 0.124 gram of h2o (water).The vapour density of substance is 44. Calculate the empirical formula and molecular formula of that substance. (H=1 , C=12 , O=16).

the squeaking of the pen is extremely distracting.

Empirical and Molecular Formulas

  • Learn how to calculate mass % of each element from molecular formula

  • Learn distinction between empirical and molecular formulas

  • Master calculation of empirical formulas from mass % of each element

  • Methods for determining molar mass include mass spectra; gas laws; and colligative properties of solutions

  • Learn how to go from empirical to molecular formulas; molecular = empirical x n where n is integer
