The empirical formula for a compound is KClO3
Explanation
find the moles of each element
moles = % composition/molar mass
molar mass of of potassium =39g/mol ,chlorine = 35.5 g/mol, oxygen =16 g/mol
moles of potassium = 31.9 / 39 = 0.818 moles
moles of chlorine = 28.9/35.5 = 0.814 moles
moles of oxygen = 39.2/ 16 = 2.45 moles
find the mole ratio by dividing with the smallest mole = 0.814 moles
potassium = 0.818/0.814 =1
chlorine = 0.814/0.814 = 1
oxygen = 2.45 /0.814 =3
the empirical formula is therefore = KClO3
Benefits; helps our red blood cells transport oxygen all around our body
The empirical formula : C₁₂H₄F₇
The molecular formula : C₂₄H₈F₁₄

mol C (MW=12 g/mol)
mol H(MW=1 g/mol) :
mol F(MW=19 g/mol)
mol ratio of C : H : O =1.52 : 0.51 : 0.89=3 : 1 : 1.75=12 : 4 : 7
Empirical formula : C₁₂H₄F₇
(Empirical formula)n=molecular formula
( C₁₂H₄F₇)n=562 g/mol
(12.12+4.1+7.19)n=562
(281)n=562⇒ n =2
Molecular formula : C₂₄H₈F₁₄
Answer:
8 should be placed in front of SO₂.
Explanation:
The easiest way to solve this question is by writing the <u>entire</u> balanced equation:
4FeS₂ + 11O₂ -> 2Fe₂O₃ + 8SO₂
We can achieve this by first balancing the Fe, then S, and finally the O.
We can also double check our answer by counting the number of each element on both sides:
-Reactants: 4 Fe, 8 S, 22 O
-Products: 4 Fe 8 S, 22 O
Since they match, our equation is balanced, and the coefficient in front of SO₂ is 8.
B) 1 Zn+ 2HCl--> 1 ZnCl2+1H2
This is balanced
