Empirical formula is the simplest formula showing the simplest ratio of atoms in a compound. Calculated as shown;
 we start by calculating the number of moles of each atom;
moles of nickel = 9.11 g ÷ 58.7 g = 0.155 moles 
moles of fluorine = 5.89 g ÷ 19 g = 0.31 moles
Then we get the ratio of the moles of nickel to that of flourine
 That is 0.155 : 0.31  (dividing by the smallest)
            0.155/0.155 : 0.31/0.155
we get 1:2  ( the simplest ratio)
Therefore the empirical formula is nif2

How many grams are in 1 mole of Pb3(PO4)4?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

In 1 mol of Pb₃(PO₄)₄ occupies 1001.48 grams

Explanation:

This compound is the lead (IV) phosphate.

Grams that occupy 1 mole, means the molar mass of the compound

Pb = 207.2  .3 = 621.6 g/m

P = 30.97 .4 = 123.88 g/m

O = (16 .  4) . 4 = 256 g/m

621.6 g/m + 123.88 g/m + 256 g/m = 1001.48 g/m

What problems could arise if scientists use different units to measure height
Shkiper50 [21]

Scientists can measure the height in different units but problem could arise when they compare all the measurements. That is the reason there is standard units for measurements.

<span>There may be error arises when an American scientist is measuring the height of an object in inches and other Australian scientist is measuring the height of same object in meters. Their data cannot be compared because they are using different units to measure height.</span>
