Chemistry

zvonat [6]3 years ago

This is done by reducing each number by a common factor for each formula.

C3H6O6- all can be divided by 3 -> CH3O3 (you don't have to put a 1 for C, only if your teacher requests it. It is generally understood if not written)

H2O2- all can be divided by 2 -> H1O1 (had to put the 1's bc of the unintended language) 

C8H8S2- all can be divided by 2 -> C4H4S 

P5O15- all can be divided by 5- PO3

*****it is important to note that <em>all </em>numbers in the molecular formula are divided by the same thing to reduce them. decimals are <em>never </em>used in empirical formulas, only whole numbers.*****

4 g of X2O3, an oxide of efement X, contains 2.8 g of X. How many moles of X<br> are there?
ziro4ka [17]

Moles of X are 0.925 moles.

A mole is a totally vital unit of dimension that chemists use.The mole, symbol mol, is the unit of amount of substance inside the worldwide device of gadgets. the amount quantity of the substance is a measure of how many simple entities of a given substance are in an item or sample. The mole is described as containing exactly 6.02214076×10²³ primary entities

mass  of X2O3 = 4 g

so moles = mass/molar mass

molar mass  of X2O3 =  2*X + 48 -

Given, that the mass of X = 2.8g

        mass of O = 4 - 2.8 = 1.2g

A mole of O = 1.2g/16 = 0.075 mole

∴ mole of X = 1 - 0.075 = 0.925 moles.
