PLEASE HELP DUE IN 20 MINUTES Find the empirical formula for the following problem. Remember to show your work if you want to earn credit.
1. One mole of an unknown compound has 36.0 g of carbon and 6.0 g of hydrogen. What
is the empirical formula of the unknown compound? (Hint: You will want to reduce to find
the empirical formula)
Given: Carbon: 36.0 grams
1 mol C = 12.0 g
Hydrogen: 6.0 g
1 mol H = 1.0 g
Unknown: empirical formula
Solve:

yes it is balanced

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
