Explain what is the empirical formula of a sample

Reference no: EM13257093

You have a small but seemingly pure sample of an unknown white powder containing only C, H, and O. To analyze the compound, you determine its empirical formula by analysis for C and H, and its molar mass by freezing point depression. a) what is the empirical formula of a 0.01510 g sample gives 0.01102 g of H2O and 0.04484 g of CO2 on combustion? b) if you dissolve 1.000 g of the powder in 100.000 g of camphor, you find that the melting point of the solution is 177.05 C. Pure camphor melts at 179.75 C. The Kp for camphor is !40.0 deg/molal. What is the molar mass of the white powder? c) what is the molecular formula of the white powder?
