Explanation:
Note: Molar masses of elements can be found online or in the periodic table.
Moles of Magnesium
= 3.60g / (24.3g/mol) = 0.148mol.
Moles of Chlorine
= 10.65g / (35.45g/mol) = 0.300mol.
Mole ratio of Magnesium to Chlorine
= 0.148mol : 0.300mol = 1 : 2.
Hence we have the empirical formula MgCl2.
Moles of Lithium
= 9.1g / (6.94g/mol) = 1.311mol.
Moles of Oxygen
= 10.4g / (16g/mol) = 0.650mol.
Moles ratio of Lithium to Oxygen
= 1.311mol : 0.650mol = 2 : 1.
Hence we have the empirical formula Li2O.
Answer:
Carbon moves from living things to the atmosphere. Each time you exhale, you are releasing carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the atmosphere. Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.
