A compound has molar mass of 147 g147 \mathrm{~g}. It contains 49%C49 \%\mathrm{C} and 2.72%H2.72 \% \mathrm{H}. On Carius estimation 2.561 mg2.561 \mathrm{~mg} of the compound gave 5 mg5 \mathrm{~mg} of AgCl\mathrm{AgCl}. Find the empirical and molecular formula.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
C3H2Cl,C6H4Cl2\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Cl}, \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_4 \mathrm{Cl}_2
Option A (C3H2Cl,C6H4Cl2\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Cl}, \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_4 \mathrm{Cl}_2) is correct because the empirical formula is calculated from the percentage composition and the molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical formula.
