One of the hydrides of boron has molar mass 122.22 g mol^-1 and is 11.55% by mass hydrogen. How do you determine its molecular formula?
1 Answer
Well, we assume that we have a
Explanation:
Well, we assume that we have a
And thus
And
We divide thru by the lowest molar quantity to get an trial empirical formula of
And now we use the molecular mass to get the
And thus we solve for
And thus our molecular formula is
I have used this a couple of times, and funnily enuff it is said that the compounds has a chocolately odour. I cannot verify this odour because it smelled pretty foul.......
