Explanation / Answer

A)

Let total mass be 100 gm.

B: 2.206 g

H: 0.344 g

Divide by molar mass to get number of moles of each:

B: 2.206/10.81 = 0.204

H: 0.344/1.008 = 0.341

Divide by smallest to get simplest whole number ratio:

B: 0.204/0.204 = 1

H: 0.341/0.204 = 1.67

MULTIPLY BOTH BY 3

B:1*3 = 3

H : 1.67*3 = 5

So empirical formula is:B3H5

B)

Given:

P= 745.0 mm Hg = (745.0/760) atm = 0.98 atm

V= 849.0 mL = (849.0/1000) L = 0.849 L

T = 25.0 oC = (25.0+273) K = 298 K

use:

P * V = n*R*T

0.98 atm * 0.849 L = n * 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K * 298.0 K

n = 3.402*10^-2 mol

now use:

number of mol = mass / molar mass

3.402*10^-2 mol = (2.206 + 0.344) g / MM

MM = 75 g/mol

C)

Molar mass of B3H5,

MM = 3*MM(B) + 5*MM(H)

= 3*10.81 + 5*1.008

= 37.47 g/mol

Now we have:

Molar mass = 75.0 g/mol

Empirical formula mass = 37.47 g/mol

Multiplying factor = molar mass / empirical formula mass

= 75.0/37.47

= 2

Hence the molecular formula is : B6H10
