the empirical formula for this compound
Solution
The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.
The empirical formula also shows the simplest mole ratio of the constituent elements of the compound
mol of element A :
mol of element G :
mol ratio A : G = 0.5 : 0.25 = 2 : 1
Answer:
empirical formula:
2 g H
32.7 g S
65.3 g O
Explanation:
Like the problem said, the first thing we can do is calculate the mass of each of the 3 elements in a 100-gram sample:
- 2.00% * 100g = 2 g H
- 32.7% * 100g = 32.7 g S
- 65.3% * 100g = 65.3 g O
Now we need to find the empirical formula from these. To do so, convert all of those masses into moles by using the molar mass for each element:
- the molar mass of H is 1.01 g/mol
- the molar mass of S is 32.06 g/mol
- the molar mass of O is 16 g/mol
2 g H ÷ 1.01 g/mol = 1.98 mol H
32.7 g S ÷ 32.06 g/mol = 1.02 mol S
65.3 g O ÷ 16 g/mol = 4.08 mol O
Our ratio of H : S : O is now:
1.98 mol : 1.02 mol : 4.08 mol
Divide them all by the smallest number, which is 1.02:
1.98/1.02 : 1.02/1.02 : 4.08/1.02
1.94 : 1 : 4
1.94 ≈ 2
So:
2 : 1 : 4
Thus, the empirical formula is: .
