A fat is composed, in part, of long chains of carbon and hydrogen. This fat as a molecular
mass of 847 grams/mole and an empirical formula of C9H170. Determine the molecular
formula.

Answer:

[tex]C_{54}H_{102}O_6[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molar mass of the empirical formula is:

[tex]MM_{empircal}=9*12.01+17*1.01+16.00=141.26g/mol[/tex]

Thus, the ratio of the molecular to the empirical formula is:

[tex]\frac{847g/mol}{141.26g/mol} =6.0[/tex]

Thus, the molecular formula is six times the empirical formula:

[tex]C_{54}H_{102}O_6[/tex]

Best regards!
