Answer:

CStO3

Explanation:

What is need to be done here is to first divide the percentage compositions by the respective atomic masses. Atomic mass of strontium is 90, that of oxygen is 16 and that of carbon is 12.

Let’s proceed with the divisions:

St = 59/90 = 0.656

O = 33/16 = 2.0625

C = 8/12 = 0.667

Now, we divide through all by the smallest answer which is 0.656:

St = 0.656/0.656 = 1

O = 2.0625/0.656 = 3.144 = 3

C = 0.667/0.656 = 1.0167 = 1

The empirical formula is thus CStO3

Give an example of an oxidisation reaction!
konstantin123 [22]
<span>When an atom or compound is oxidized, its properties change. For example, when an iron object undergoes oxidation, it is transformed because it has lost electrons. Unoxidized iron is a strong, structurally sound metal, while oxidized iron is a brittle, reddish powder. The diagram below illustrates what happens to an atom of iron as it is oxidized
