A Chemist is studying small organic compounds for their potential use as an antifreeze. When .243g of a compound is dissolved in 25.0 mL of water, the freezing point of the solution is -.201 C.
a) Calculate the molar mass of the compound. (d of water = 1.00 g/mL).
b) Analysis shows that the compound is 53.31 mass % C and 11.18 mass % H, the remainder being O. Calculate the empirical and molecular formulas of the compound.
c) Draw a Lewis structure for a compound with this formula that forms H bonds and another for one that does not.
