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.

what mass of carbon dioxide gas would be produced if 10g of calcium carbonate reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid?
LuckyWell [14K]
Answer is: 4,4 grams <span>of carbon dioxide gas would be produced.
</span>Chemical reaction: CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O.
m(CaCO₃) = 10 g.
n(CaCO₃) = 10 g ÷ 100 g/mol.
n(CaCO₃) = 0,1 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(CaCO₃) : n(CO₂) = 1 : 1.
n(CO₂) = 0,1 mol.
m(CO₂) = n(CO₂) · M(CO₂).
m(CO₂) = 0,1 mol· 44 g/mol.
m(CO₂) = 4,4 g.
