The empirical formula of the compound with the percent composition C 18.1%, H 2.27%, Cl 79.8% is C₂H₃Cl₃.

<h3>What is an empirical formula?</h3>

It is the minimum ratio between the elements that form a compound.

  • Step 1: Divide each percentage by the molar mass of the element.

C: 18.1/12.01 = 1.51

H: 2.27/1.01 = 2.25

Cl: 79.8/35.45 = 2.25

  • Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one.

C; 1.51/1.51 = 1

H: 2.25/1.51 ≈ 1.5

Cl: 2.25/1.51 ≈ 1.5

  • Step 3: Multiply all the numbers by 2 so all of them are whole.

C: 1 × 2 = 2

H: 1.5 × 2 = 3

Cl: 1.5 × 2 = 3

The empirical formula is C₂H₃Cl₃.

The empirical formula of the compound with the percent composition C 18.1%, H 2.27%, Cl 79.8% is C₂H₃Cl₃.

One method of removing phosphate from wastewater effluents is to precipitate it with aluminum sulfate. A plausible stoichiometry
Viktor [21]

Answer: The equation is written below.

Explanation:

2PO_4^{3-}(aq)+Al_2(SO_4)_3(aq)\rightarrow 2AlPO_4(s)+3SO_4^{2-}(aq)

According to Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of phosphate ions reacts with 1 mole of aluminum sulfate to produce 2 moles of aluminum phosphate precipitate and 3 moles of sulfate ions.

Aluminum phosphate is an odorless and white crystalline solid

The chemical equation is written above.
