The empirical formula of the compound is calculated as follows
first calculate the mass of oxygen= 12-(4.09 +3.71)= 5.02g
then calculate the moles of each element, moles = mass/ molar mass
moles of K = 4.09g/39 g/mol(molar mass of K) = 0.105 moles
moles of Cl = 3.71g/35.5 g/mol(molar mass of Cl) = 0.105 moles
moles of O = 5.02g/ 16g/mol(molar mass of O) = 0.314 moles
then calculate e mole ratio by dividing each mole by the smallest number of moles ( 0.105 moles)
K=0.105/0.105= 1
Cl=0.105 /0.105=1
O= 0.314/0.105=3
therefore the empirical formula = KClO3

The fusion reaction in the sun is a combination of hydrogen atoms fusing to create helium. The fusion reaction in larger stars involve much heavier elements like oxygen and iron. In supernovas, often elements like gold are produced
Answer:
- <em><u>Option A. </u></em><u><em>2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂</em></u>
Explanation:
There are five basic general types of chemical reactions:
- Synthesis or combination reaction
- Single replacement reactions
- Double replacement reactions
The given reactions are:
- <u>2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂</u>
Which is, indeed, a decomposition reaction because the reactant, KClO₃, is a single substance that undergoes a reaction in which it yields two new substances, known as products: KCl and O₂.
- <u>4Na + O₂ → 2Na₂O</u> is a synthesis or combination reaction because two reactants, Na and O₂, combine for the formation of one single new product, Na₂O.
- <u>ZnS + 3 O₂ → 2ZnO + 2SO₂ </u>is a single replacement reaction because oxygen is replacing Zn and S in ZnS to form ZnO and plus SO₂.
- <u>2NaBr + CaF₂ → 2NaF + CaBr₂ </u>is a double replacement reaction because two ions (Br⁻ from NaBr and F⁻ from CaF₂) are exchanging places with other two ions (Na⁺ from NaBr and Ca²⁺ from CaF₂) two form two new ionic compounds (NaF and CaBr₂).
