If a compound containing only magnesium and oxygen consists of 0.564 g mg and 0.376 g o, what is the compound's empirical formul
a..
1 answer:
the Empirical formula of the compound is calculated as follows
find the moles of each element
moles = mass/molar mass
that is Magnesium= 0.564 g /24 g/mol = 0.0235 moles
For oxygen = 0.376 g /16 g/mol= 0.0235 moles
find the mole ratio by dividing both moles of by 0.0235 moles
magnesium = 0.0235/0.0235= 1mole
oxygen= 0.0235 /0.0235= 1mole
therefore the empirical formula = MgO
