Solutions

Teachers Notes:

Problem 1:
Both the empirical and molecular formulas are CH2O2.

Problem 2:
1.00 μg CH2O2 x (0.000001 g/μg) x (1mole CH2O2/46.0256g CH2O2) x (6.02 x 1023 molecules/mole) = 1.31 x 1016 molecules CH2O2

Problem 3:
Both the empirical and molecular formulas are C5H11N.

Problem 4:
0.500mg C5H11N x (0.000001 g/mg) x (1mole C5H11N/85.14g C5H11N) x (6.02 x 1023 molecules/mole) = 3.54 x 1015 molecules C5H11N
