Answer:
The molecular formula of this compound is [tex]H_{2}O_{2}[/tex]
Explanation:
From the given,
Mass of compound = 7.36 g
Molar mass of compound = 34.0 g/mol
The mass of oxygen = 6.93 g
The hydrocarbon contains only hydrogen and carbon.
Mass of hydrogen + Mass of oxygen = 7.36 g
Mass of hydrogen + 6.93 g = 7.36 g
Mass of hydrogen = 7.36 - 6.93 = 0.43g
Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.0 g/mol
Molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol
[tex]Number\,of\,moles\,of \,Oxygen=6.93g\times\frac{1}{16}=0.43mol[/tex]
[tex]Number\,of\,moles\,of \,hydrogen=0.43g\times\frac{1}{1}=0.43mol[/tex]
Now divided each one by 0.43
Oxygen:
[tex]\frac{0.43}{0.43}=1[/tex]
Hydrogen :
[tex]\frac{0.43}{0.43}=1[/tex]
