The molecular formula is C6H14

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the mass of compound = 100 grams

A compound contains:

Carbon = 83.65 % = 83.65 grams

Hydrogen = 16.35 % = 16.35 grams

Atomic mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.01 g/mol

Molar mass of compound = 86.2 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles carbon = 83.65 grams / 12.01 g/mol

Moles carbon = 6.965 moles

Moles hydrogen = 16.35 grams / 1.01 g/mol

Moles hydrogen = 16.19 moles

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

C: 6.965 moles / 6.965 moles = 1

H = 16.19 moles / 6.965 moles = 2.33

This means for 1 mol C we have 2.33 moles H OR for 3 moles C we have 7 moles H

The empirical formula is C3H7

The molecular mass of this formula is 43.1 g/mol

Step 4: Calculate molecular formula

We have to multiply the empirical formula by n

n = 86.2 g/mol / 43.1 g/mol

n = 2

Molecular formula = 2*(C3H7) = C6H14

The molecular formula is C6H14

Answer from: Quest

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
