Given information
Molar mass of the given compound is
The elements present in the given compound are carbon, hydrogen, iodine and sulfur.
Analysis results shows that sample of the compound contains six times as much carbon as hydrogen.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The hydrogen to carbon mass ratio according to give information is six. That means if mass of hydrogen is then the mass of carbon is .
Molar mass of carbon is .
Molar mass of hydrogen is
Molar mass of iodine is
Molar mass of sulfur is
Number of moles of carbon is calculated by the formula,
Where,
-
is mass of carbon.
-
is molar mass of carbon.
Put the values of and in equation (1),
Number of moles of hydrogen is calculated by the formula,
Where,
- is mass of hydrogen.
-
is molar mass of hydrogen.
