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.

Andrew [12]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

AlBr3 can be used as a catalyst in the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction. The correct name for the compound represented by the formula AlBr3 is —

aluminum bromide

monoaluminum tribromide

aluminide bromine

aluminum tribromide

Answer:

aluminum bromide

Explanation:

Having known that AlBr3 is an ionic compound and aluminium is the central atom here, we now have to ask ourselves if Aluminium exists in other stable oxidation states.

We must take cognizance of the fact that the oxidation number of the central atom in a compound becomes part of the name of that compound when other stable oxidation states for atoms of the same elements exists.

Since the +3 state is the only stable oxidation state for aluminium, the name of the compound is simply aluminium bromide.

Elena L [17]

Explanation:

1. subatomic particles. 

2.proton, electron and neutron

3.The atomic mass of an element is actually the sum of the MASSES of protons and neutrons in AN atom of that element

4.An element's atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nuclei of any of its atoms

5. Number of Protons = Atomic Number

Number of Electrons = Number of Protons = Atomic Number

Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number

For krypton:

Number of Protons = Atomic Number = 36

Number of Electrons = Number of Protons = Atomic Number = 36

Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number = 84 - 36 = 48

6. electron, lightest stable subatomic particle known. It carries a negative charge of 1.602176634 × 10−19 coulomb, which is considered the basic unit of electric charge. The rest mass of the electron is 9.1093837015 × 10−31 kg

7.The center of the atom is called a nucleus

8. Negatively charged particles are found in multiple layers outside the nucleus of the atom. These particles are called electrons, and they orbit in various energy levels around the atom's nucleus.

9. A charged particle is also called an ion
