DESCRIPTION
(6.2) Molecular Formula of a Compound. Chemical Formula. Recall If we know MF, we can easily determine EF. e.g. pentane C 5 H 10 (MF) CH 2 (EF). Chemical Formula. But, given EF can you determine the MF? e.g. CH 2 O (EF)? (MF) See p269 table 6.1 for possibilities. - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

RecallIf we know MF, we can easily determine EF.
e.g. pentane C5H10 (MF)
CH2 (EF)
But, given EF can you determine the MF?
e.g. CH2O (EF) ? (MF) See p269 table 6.1 for possibilities.Name MF Whole-
number multiple
M(g/mol)
Use
Formaldehyde
CH2O 1 30.03 Disinfectant
Acetic acid
C2H4O2 2 60.05 Vinegar
Lactic acid
C3H6O3 3 90.08 In sour milk
Erythrose C4H8O4 4 120.10 In sugar
Ribose C5H10O5 5 150.13 Nucleic acids
Glucose C6H12O6 6 180.16 Energy in cells
Additional information is needed:molar mass (M) of the compound is needed
e.g. CH2O (EF) ? (MF)
from EF M = 30 g/mol from expt with compound M = 150 g/mol
ratio: 150 g/mol = 530 g/mol
Therefore: x CH2O C5H10O5 (EF) (MF) ribose

Using Molar Mass1. The empirical formula (EF) of hexane C3H7. In an experiment with a mass spectrometer, a chemist determines the molar mass of hexane is 86.2 g/mol. What is the molecular formula (MF)?
2. The EF of an unknown sample is CH2O. In an experiment it is found that the molar mass of the sample is 121 g/mol. What is the molecular formula (MF)?
