Reduce the following molecular formulas to empirical formulas. Please help!

Chemistry

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.*****

How do I balance this equation? ?KNO3 → ?K2O + ?N2(g)+ ?O2(g) and what type of reaction is it?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

4KNO3 ==> 2K2O + 2N2 + 5O2

Explanation:

It's a decomposition, but not a simple one.

KNO3 ==> K2O + N2 + O2   I don't usually do this, but I think the easiest way to proceed is to  balancing the K and N together. That will require a 2 in front of KNO3

4KNO3 ==> 2K2O + 2N2 + 5O2

Now you have (3*4) = 12 oxygens. Two are on the K2O. So the other 10 must be on the O2

That should do it.
