Question

Acenaphthylene, a hydrocarbon that is a constituent of a coal tar, is 94.71% and has a molar mass of 152.19 g/mol. What are the empirical and molecular formulas of acenaphthylene?

Answer 1

From what I personally know, Acenaphthylene 75%. Empirical Formula (Hill Notation): C12H8. CAS Number: 208-96-8. Molecular Weight: 152.19. Beilstein: 774092. EC Number:

Step-by-step explanation:

Acenaphthylene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon is an ortho- and peri-fused tricyclic hydrocarbon. The molecule resembles naphthalene with positions 1 and 8 connected by a -CH=CH- unit. It is a yellow solid. Unlike many polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, it has no fluorescence. Acenaphthylene/Formula is C12H8.

I'm not sure if this will help you but this is what I know so I hope it does :)
