Answer to Question #83577 in General Chemistry for ashley contreras

Question

A compound was analyzed and its percent composition is 38.70% C, 9.74% H and 51.55% O by mass.
(a) Determine the empirical formula of the compound.
(b) The molar mass of the compound is approximately 62 g/mol. Determine the molecular formula of
the compound.

must be water soluble. Draw a Lewis structure for the molecule that supports the compound being
water soluble.
(d) Show the interaction between a water molecule and a molecule of the compound and explain the
intermolecular force of attraction you have shown on your molecular level diagram.
(e) Draw a second, different Lewis structure for the compound and explain whether the compound
would be water soluble if this was its structure.
