Hydrocarbons are organic compounds composed entirely of hydrogen and carbon. A 0.1647 g sample of a pure hydrocarbon was burned in a combustion apparatus to produce 0.4931 g of CO2 and 0.2691 g of water. Determine the empirical formula; enter as C#H#, so C1H1. Through another experiment it was determined that the molecular weight of this hydrocarbon is approximately 132 amu. What is the molecular formula of this compound?

Explanation:

answer; economic order quantity;

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
