Explanation / Answer

6.Element       mass        A.Wt     no of moles             simple ratio
C              40.22      12       40.22/12 = 3.35         3.35/0.558 = 6
H               7.31       1        7.31/1 = 7.31         7.31/0.558 = 13
N               7.82      14        7.82/14 = 0.558        0.558/0.558 = 1
O              44.65      16        44.65/16 = 2.8          2.8/0.558   = 5
The empirical formula = C6H13NO5

7.
Element     mass        A.Wt        no of moles           simple ratio            simplest ratio
C           95.21        12          95.21/12 = 7.93        7.93/4.79 = 1.655     1.655*3 = 5
H            4.79         1           4.79/1   = 4.79        4.79/4.79 = 1           1*3   = 3
The empirical formula C5H3
   E.F.Wt            = 12*5 + 1*3 = 63
molecular formula = ( empirical formula)n
        n        =   M.Wt/E.F.wt
                 =    255/63 = 4
molecular formula   = (C5H3)4
                     = C20H12

8.
Element     %       A.wt            no of moles         simple ratio         simplest ratio
C          36.25    12               36.25/12 = 3          3/0.75 = 4          4*3 = 12
H           4.82     1                4.82/1 = 4.82     4.82/0.75 = 6.43     6.43*3 = 19
Cl         26.75     35.5            26.75/35.5 = 0.75   0.75/0.75 = 1          1*3 = 3
O          32.19     16              32.19/16    = 2        2/0.75 = 2.66      2.66*3 = 8
The empirical formula = C12H19Cl3O8
