To get the empirical formula of this compound, we take a basis of 100 grams which means each percentage is equivalent to 1 gram. Hence there is 32.39 grams sodium, 22. 53 grams sulfur and 45.07 grams oxygen. We convert each mass to their moles by dividing by their respective molar mass. Na: 1.408, S:0.704 and O:2.82. divide each with the lowest: Na: 2: S: 1 and O:4. Hence the formula is Na2SO4.
A. Nonmetallic
B. Nonmetallic

Molar mass (CaCl2) = 40.1 +2*35.5 = 111.1 g/mol
Molar mass (AlCl3) = 27.0 +3*35.5= 133.5 g/ mol
3CaCl2+Al2O3 -------->3CaO +2AlCl3
mole from reaction 3 mol 2 mol
mass from reaction 3mol* 111.1g/mol 2 mol*133.5g/mol
333.3 g 267.0 g
mass from problem 45.7 g x g
Proportion:
333.3 g CaCl2 ------- 267.0 g AlCl3
45.7 g CaCl2 -------- x g AlCl3
x=45.7*267.0/333.3= 36.6 g AlCl3
A physical change is any change in a substances form that does not change its chemical makeup. Examples of physical changes are breaking a stick or melting ice. A chemical change occurs when atoms of a substance are rearranged, and the bonds between the atoms are broken or formed. HOPE THIS HELPS!!
