To solve for the empirical formula, we write first all the data.

Given:
Compound 1: 76 wt% Ru and 24wt% O
Compound 2: 61.2 wt% Ru and 38.8  wt% O

Required: Empirical Formula of Compound 1

Solution:
Assume total mass of the compound is 100 g

Solving for Compound 1,

76 g Ru x <u>1 mol Ru     </u> = 0.75195 mol Ru
               101.07 g Ru

24 g O x <u>1 mol O   </u> = 1.5 mol O
                16 g O


Then, divide each mole with the smallest number of moles calculated

Ru = 0.75195 mol/0.75195 mol = 1
O = 1.5 mol/0.75195 mol = 2

Therefore, the empirical formula for Compound 1 is RuO2.

<em>ANSWER: RuO2</em>

What is the molar mass of CaCl2?
alekssr [168]
Molar mass of CaCl2 = 40+ ( 35.5 ×2)=110

Mr of Ca(OH)2 = 40+ (16+1)×2 =74

%of Ca = (40÷ 74)×10=...

1 m = 100cm...
1cm = (1÷100) m
So 45.5 cm = 45.5 ×(1÷100) =....

1km = 1000m
1m = 100 cm
1cm =10mm
So 1km = 1000×100×10 mm
Now convert

How many significant digits does the number 700 have?
OLga [1]

Answer: 700 has one significant figure which is 7.

Explanation: These are some rules for significant figures

•All non-zero digits are significant: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

•Zero between non-zero digits are significant: They are three significant figures in 203.

•Leading zeros are not significant: There are two significant figures in 0.56.

•Trailing zero to the right of decimal are significant. There are four significant figures in 62.00

•Trailing zeros in a whole number with the decimal shown are significant: This makes "700." three significant figures.

•Trailing zeros in a whole number with no decimal shown are not significant: This makes 700 one significant figure.
