Find the empirical formula of the following compound: 0.77 mol of iron atoms combined with 1.0 mol of oxygen atoms.

The empirical formula is Fe₃O₄.

The empirical formula is the <em>simplest whole-number ratio of atoms</em> in a compound.

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles, so our job is to calculate the molar ratio of Fe to O.

I like to summarize the calculations in a table.

<u>Element</u>   <u>Moles</u>    <u>Ratio</u>¹   <u>×3</u>²   <u>Integers</u>³

    Fe         0.77       1         3             3

    O           1.0         1.3      3.9          4

¹ To get the molar ratio, you divide each number of moles by the smallest number (0.77).

² If the ratio is not close to an integer, multiply by a number (in this case, 3) to get numbers that are close to integers.

³ Round off these numbers to integers (3 and 4).

The empirical formula is Fe₃O₄.

Answer:Crystalline solids have well-defined edges and faces, diffract x-rays, and tend to have sharp melting points. In contrast, amorphous solids have irregular or curved surfaces, do not give well-resolved x-ray diffraction patterns, and melt over a wide range of temperatures.

In an isothermal gas chromatography experiment using an ECD detector, 1.69 nmols of nchlorohexane, C6H13Cl, was added as an inte
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The amount of Chlorodecane in the unknown is 0.105nmols

Explanation:

a) Since the GC is in an isothermal state, Chlorohexane C6H13Cl (1.69 nmols) because of its lower boiling point will elute first and Chlorodecane C12H21Cl will elute second.

The area of the first peak corresponding to Chlorohexane is 32434 units.

The area of the second peak corresponding to chlorodecane is 2022 units.

Since the response factor of the compound is not given in question and considering the response factor is same for both the compounds, the answer will be as follow:

1.69 nmols of Chlorohexane gives 32434 units

How much of chlorodecane gives 2022 units

By cross multiplication;

Moles of Chlorodecane = 2022*1.69/32434

                                         =0.105nmols
