Quantitative analysis of an organic compound (X) shows following % composition. mathrmC:14.5\% quad mathrmCl:64.46\% quad mathrmH:1.8\% The empirical formula mass of the compound (X) is mathrmx times 10^-1. The value of mathrmx is: (Given molar mass in mathrmg\,mol^-1 of C: 12, H: 1, O: 16, Cl: 35.5)
Numerical Answer. Answer: 1655 to 1655

Solution

### Step 1: Determine Oxygen Percentage The total percentage must equal 100%. The remaining composition corresponds to Oxygen: \%mathrmO = 100 - (14.5 + 64.46 + 1.8) = 100 - 80.76 = 19.24\% ### Step 2: Calculate Molar Ratios Divide each mass percentage by its respective atomic weight: - mathrmC: frac14.512 = 1.208 - mathrmCl: frac64.4635.5 = 1.815 - mathrmH: frac1.81 = 1.800 - mathrmO: frac19.2416 = 1.202 ### Step 3: Find Simple Integer Ratio Divide by the lowest ratio value (1.202): - mathrmC: frac1.2081.202 approx 1 rightarrow times 2 = 2 - mathrmCl: frac1.8151.202 approx 1.5 rightarrow times 2 = 3 - mathrmH: frac1.8001.202 approx 1.5 rightarrow times 2 = 3 - mathrmO: frac1.2021.202 = 1 rightarrow times 2 = 2 Thus, the empirical formula is mathrmC_2mathrmH_3mathrmCl_3mathrmO_2. ### Step 4: Compute Mass Empirical formula mass calculation: textMass = (2 times 12) + (3 times 1) + (3 times 35.5) + (2 times 16) textMass = 24 + 3 + 106.5 + 32 = 165.5\,mathrmg\,mol^-1 Expressing in the requested format: 165.5 = 1655 times 10^-1 Rightarrow x = 1655 ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Multi-element empirical calculation. Trap: Forgetting to compute Oxygen by missing that the percentages do not sum to 100% initial value. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

Numerical Answer. Answer: 12.5 to 13.5

Solution

### Related Formula Molarity formula based on mass percentage (w/w) and density (d): textMolarity = frac\%(w/w) times d times 10textMolar Mass of solute ### Step 1: Substitute Values Given values: \% = 70, d = 1.25\,mathrmg\,mL^-1, textMolar Mass = 70\,mathrmg\,mol^-1. textMolarity = frac70 times 1.25 times 1070 = 1.25 times 10 = 12.5\,mathrmM Rounding to the nearest integer gives 13 (or 12.5 as written in standard templates; let us provide 13 matching nearest integer constraints). ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Conversion of mass percentage to molarity tracking.
