Empirical formula of ionic compound is FeO. In which the composition of atoms is 1 : 1.

Empirical formula of an ionic compound is defined as the formula which gives whole number ratio of atoms of various elements present in molecule of compund.

mass of iron in compound = 34.95 g

molar mass of iron = 55.8 g

mass of oxygen in compound = 15.05 g

molar mass of oxygen = 32 g

number of moles of iron present in the compound are ratio of mass of iron in compound/ molar mass of iron

number of moles of iron in compound= 34.95 / 55.8 = 0.6263 ~ 1

number of moles oxygen in compound= 15.05/ 32 = 0.473 ~ 0.5

the ratio of the number of oxygen atoms to number of iron atoms present in one formula unit of iron compund is 2×0.5 / 1 = 1 : 1

Hence , the required empirical formula of iron compound is FeO.

The chemical formula of ordinary sugar is C12H22O11. Calculate the mass of 7.35 mol of sugar.

ch4aika [34]

First, you need to find the mass of 1 mol of sugar. Mass, or molar mass, can simply be found by adding the masses of the individual elements. These are given to you on the periodic table.

$C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$

12 x 12.011 grams (molar mass of Carbon) = 144.132 g

22 x 1.008 grams (molar mass of Hydrogen) = 22.176 g

11 x 15.999 grams (molar mass of Oxygen) = 175.989 g

Add all of the pieces together.

144.132 g + 22.176 g + 175.989 g = 342.297 grams

So, if one mole has 342.297 grams, then 7.35 of that amount will be your answer.

342.297 g/mol x 7.35 mol = 2,515.88 grams

1 mole has 6.02*10^23 molecules in it.

1 nickel (II) chloride molecule, NiCl2, has 1 Ni atom in it.

so 1 mole of nickel (II) chloride molecule has 1 mole of Ni atom in it.

so 100 moles of nickel (II) chloride molecule has 100*6.02*10^23

= 6.02*10^25 Ni atom in it.

The tendency of an element to react is closely related to

Bad White [126]

C. The number of Valence electrons,
Every atom tries to follow the Octet rule i.e To have 8 electrons in its Valence shell.
Every atom tries to accomodate 8 electrons in its Valence shell to stabilize themselves, Metals usually have 1-3 eletrons in their Valence shell which they donate to non metals so their Valnce shell has 8 electroons, (The previous will now be the Valence shell and it will be full)
Similarly Non metals have 4-7 electrons, they accept electrons from metals so they can have 8 electrons in their Valence shell.
Noble gases already have 8 electrons in their Valance shell, so they do not react and stable.

Hope it helps :)
