The empirical formula of a compound found to have 55.7% hafnium and 44.3% chlorine is HfCl4.

<h3>How to calculate empirical formula?</h3>

The empirical formula of a compound is a notation indicating the ratios of the various elements present in a compound, without regard to the actual numbers.

The empirical formula of the given compound can be calculated as follows:

  • Hafnium = 55.7% = 55.7g
  • Chlorine = 44.3% = 44.3g

First, we convert mass values to moles by dividing by the molar mass of each element

  • Hafnium = 55.7g ÷ 178.49g/mol = 0.312mol
  • Chlorine = 44.3g ÷ 35.5g/mol = 1.25mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest

  • Hafnium = 0.312 ÷ 0.312 = 1
  • Chlorine = 1.25 ÷ 0.312 = 4

Therefore, the empirical formula of a compound found to have 55.7% hafnium and 44.3% chlorine is HfCl4.

How Many Atoms Are In 356.13 Grams Of Sn
s344n2d4d5 [400]

<span>There are three atoms of Sn (Stannous or Tin) in</span> 356.13 g of Sn.

<span>One atom of Sn has the atomic mass (m</span>ₐ<span>) of </span>118,71u which means:

356.13/118.71=3 atoms of Sn

The mass number (symbol A) also called atomic mass number or nucleon number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus. It determines the atomic mass of atoms and it is in the periodic table.
