Which of the following is a molecular formula for a compound with an empirical formula of ch2o and a molar mass of 150. g/mol.

(i) c9h18o9(ii) ch2o(iii) c6h12o6(iv) c2h4o2

C₅H₁₀O₅

Explanation:

Let's consider a compound with the empirical formula CH₂O. In order to determine the molecular formula, we have to calculate "n", so that

n = molar mass of the molecular formula / molar mass of the empirical formula

The molar mass of the molecular formula is 150 g/mol.

The molar mass of the empirical formula is 12 + 2 × 1 + 16 = 30 g/mol

n = (150 g/mol) / (30 g/mol) = 5

Then, we multiply the empirical formula by 5.

CH₂O × 5 = C₅H₁₀O₅

hi my dude or dudette

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
