Q1)
firstly we need to determine the empirical formula of the compound. empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components in the compound.
percentages of the elements have been given, so lets assume we are calculating for a compound of 100g 
                                  C                               H                              O
mass                       63.13 g                    8.830 g                       28.03 g
molar mass             12 g/mol                   1 g/mol                      16 g/mol
number of moles     63.13/12                   8.830/1                      28.03/16
                                5.26                           8.830                           1.75
divide by the smallest number of moles 
                                5.26/1.75                   8.830/1.75                   1.75/1.75
                                = 3.01                        = 5.04                           =1
rounded off to the nearest whole numbers 
C - 3
H - 5
O - 1
therefore empirical formula = C₃H₅O

Q2)
we have to next determine the molecular formula of the compound 
molecular formula gives the actual composition of elements in the compound. 
since we know the empirical formula and molecular mass, we can find how many empirical units are in the molecular formula.
mass of empirical unit = Cx3 + Hx5 + Ox1
                                    = 12 g/mol x 3 + 1g/mol x 5 + 16 g/mol x 1
                                    = 36 + 5 + 16 = 57 g/mol
the molecular mass = 228 g/mol
then number of empirical units in the molecular formula = 228 / 57 = 4
therefore there are 4 empirical units 
then the molecular formula = 4 x empirical formula =4 (C₃H₅O)
molecular formula = C₁₂H₂₀O₄

If 1.76 g of an ideal gas occupy 1.0 L at standard temperature and pressure (STP), what is the molar mass of the gas?
ycow [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Whenever you see molar masses in gas law questions, more often than not density will be involved. This question is no different. To solve this, however, we will first need to play with the combined ideal gas equation PV=nRT to make it work for density and molar mass. The derivation is simple but for the sake of time and space, I will skip it. Hence, just take my word for it that you will end up with the equation:M=dRTPM = molar mass (g/mol)d = density (g/L)R = Ideal Gas Constant (≈0.0821atm⋅Lmol⋅K) T = Temperature (In Kelvin) P = Pressure (atm)As an aside, note that because calculations with this equation involve molar mass, this is the only variation of the ideal gas law in which the identity of the gas plays a role in your calculations. Just something to take note of. Back to the problem: Now, looking back at what we're given, we will need to make some unit conversions to ensure everything matches the dimensions required by the equation:T=35oC+273.15= 308.15 KV=300mL⋅1000mL1L= 0.300 LP=789mmHg⋅1atm760mmHg= 1.038 atmSo, we have almost everything we need to simply plug into the equation. The last thing we need is density. How do we find density? Notice we're given the mass of the sample (0.622 g). All we need to do is divide this by volume, and we have density:d=0.622g0.300L= 2.073 g/LNow, we can plug in everything. When you punch the numbers into your calculator, however, make sure you use the stored values you got from the actual conversions, and not the rounded ones. This will help you ensure accuracy.M=dRTP=(2.073)(0.0821)(308.15)1.038= 51 g/molRounded to 2 significant figuresNow if you were asked to identify which element this is based on your calculation, your best bet would probably be Vandium (molar mass 50.94 g/mol). Hope that helped :)

How many electron are in 56fe 3
RSB [31]
The periodic table is arranged in a way so that with each step the number of protons in the nucleus is increased by 1. It makes it for an easy choice to designate elements with numbers - atomic numbers, because in that case atomic number shows the number of protons possessed by the nucleus. Like this:
H has 1 proton
He has 2 protons
Li has 3 protons
Be has 4 protons and so on

Each proton has a charge of +1. The other particle present in the nucleus - the neutron - has zero electrical charge and thus irrelevant when computing the charge of a nucleus. It is easy to deduce that the nucleus charge equals the number of protons (which in turn equals the atomic number). So the nucleus charges are:
for H it's+1
for He it's +2
for Li it's +3
for Be it's +4 and so on

Atom is an electroneutral particle by definition. It means it's summed charge must be 0. Since we've looked at everything within the nucleus (the protons and the neutrons) it's time we turn our gaze to the space around it, which is full of orbiting electrons. Each electron has a charge of -1. To make up for the positive charge in the nucleus you have to fill the space aroung the nucleus with negative electrons.Thanks to the elementary nature of both proton and electron charge, you simply have to take the same number of electrons as that of protons! Like this:
H has 1 proton and 1 electron
He has 2 protons and 2 electrons
Li has 3 protons and 3 electrons
Be has 4 protons and 4 electrons and so on

Fe has atomic number 26. It means that Fe has 26 protons and 26 electrons. If it's a neutral atom

You typed 3. Is it accidental? If so, then the answer is above. If not, then you could be trying to type 56Fe +3, which means an ionic iron with charge +3. Charges are formed when you have too many or too few electrons to counter-balance the prositive charge of the nucleus. Charge +3 means you're 3 electrons short to negate the nucleus positive charge.

In other words, Fe+3 has 26 protons and 23 electrons.
