The empirical formula of the compound is C₄H₅O₃.

<u>Explanation</u>:

If hydrogen % = 5.98823, the Sum of C+O = 94.01177% or 47.005885% each

The original mass of 300 g is not important

C = 47.005885 / 12.011 = 3.913569

H = 5.98823 / 1.008 = 5.94070  

O = 47.005885 / 15.999 = 2.93805  

Divide by the smallest number:      

C =1.33  

H = 2.022

O = 1

Multiply through by 3

C = 4

H =6

O = 3

The empirical formula of a compound = C₄H₆O₃

Do not be confused by the 300 g. It is totally irrelevant to the question because you are dealing with % amounts. It would only have been of importance if you were given some mass values.

___AsCl3+____H2S--&gt;___As2S3+___HCI​
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

2 AsCl₃ + 3 H₂S → As₂S₃ + 6 HCl

Explanation:

When we balance a chemical equation, what we are trying to do is to achieve the same number of atoms for each element on both sides of the arrow. On the right of the arrow is where we can find the products, while the reactants are found on the left of the arrow.

We usually balance O and H atoms last.

AsCl₃ + H₂S → As₂S₃ +HCl

<u>reactants</u>

As --- 1

Cl --- 3

H --- 2

S --- 1

<u>products</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 1

H --- 1

S --- 3

2 AsCl₃ + H₂S → As₂S₃ +HCl

<u>reactants</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 2

S --- 1

<u>products</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 1

H --- 1

S --- 3

The number of As atoms is now balanced.

2 AsCl₃ + 3 H₂S → As₂S₃ +HCl

<u>reactants</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 6

S --- 3

<u>products</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 1

H --- 1

S --- 3

The number of S atoms is now equal on both sides.

2 AsCl₃ + 3 H₂S → As₂S₃ + 6 HCl

<u>reactants</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 6

S --- 3

<u>products</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 6

S --- 3

The equation is now balanced.
