Answer is: 2Zn + O₂ → 2ZnO (2Zn²⁺ + 2O²⁻).
Unbalanced chemical reaction: Zn + O₂ → ZnO.
Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ / ×2; 2Zn → 2Zn²⁺ + 4e⁻.
4e⁻ + O₂ → 2O²⁻.
Zinc lost two electrons and became Zn²⁺, molecule of oxygen gain four electrons and become 2O²⁻. Multiply first reaction with two to have same number of electrons and put coefficients in chemical reaction.

Determine the empirical formula of a compound containing 40.6 grams of carbon, 5.1 grams of hydrogen, and 54.2 grams of oxygen.

Lilit [14]

The Empirical formula of compound is C₁H₂O₁. The Molecular Formula of the compound is 4 (C₁H₂O₁).

<h3>What is Empirical Formula ?</h3>

Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in given compound.

Element % Atomic mass Relative no. of atoms Simplest whole ratio

C 40.6 12 $\frac{40.6}{12}$ = 3.3 $\frac{3.3}{3.3} = 1$

H 5.1 1 $\frac{5.1}{1}$ = 5.1 $\frac{5.1}{3.1} = 2$

O 54.2 16 $\frac{54.2}{16}$ = 3.3 $\frac{3.3}{3.3} = 1$

The Empirical formula of compound is C₁H₂O₁ or CH₂O

<h3>How to find the Molecular formula of compound ?</h3>

Molecular formula = Empirical formula × n

$n = \frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Empirical Formula weight}}$

$= \frac{118.084}{30}$

= 4

Molecular formula = n × Empirical formula

= 4 (C₁H₂O₁)

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The Empirical formula of compound is C₁H₂O₁. The Molecular Formula of the compound is 4 (C₁H₂O₁).
