What is the empirical formula of a substance that is 53.5% C, 15.5% H, 31.1% N?

For each carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen. You have to divide each percentage by its atomic mass.
C = 53.5/12.0107 = 4.45436
H = 15.5/1.00794 = 15.377899
N= 31.1/14.0067 = 2.220365

Round the number to significant figures
C = 4.45
H =15.4
N =2.22

Divide Each Number by the smallest number out of the three
so N = 2.22/2.22 =1
H = 15.4/2.22= 6.9 =7
C = 4.45/2.22= 2
So the Formula Should Be <span>C2H7N</span>

Anyway, which is a spectator ion involved in the reaction of k2cro4(aq) and ba(no3)2(aq)?
marissa [1.9K]

Nitrate ions \text{NO}_3^{-} and potassium ions \text{K}^{+}.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Potassium dichromate undergoes a double-decomposition reaction with barium nitrate to produce barium dichromate and potassium nitrate. The reaction is possible due to the low solubility of barium dichromate that precipitate out of the solution readily after its production.

Start with the balanced chemical equation for this process:

\text{K}_2\text{CrO}_4 \; (aq) + \text{Ba}(\text{NO}_3)_2 \; (aq) \to \text{Ba}(\text{CrO}_4)_2 \; (s) + 2 \; \text{KNO}_3 \; (aq)

Rewrite the chemical equation as an ionic one; express all soluble salts- those with state symbol (aq)- as their constituting ions while leaving the insoluble (s) intact.

2 \; \text{K}^{+}\; (aq)+ 2\; \text{CrO}_4^{-} \; (aq) + \text{Ba}^{2+} \; (aq) + 2 \; \text{NO}_3^{-} \; (aq) \\ \to \text{Ba}(\text{CrO}_4)_2 \; (s) + 2 \; \text{K}^{+} \; (aq) + 2 \; \text{NO}_3^{-} \; (aq)

\text{K}^{+} and \text{CrO}_4^{-} are found on both sides of the equation by the same quantity. The two ions thus took no part in the net reaction and act as spectator ions.

how much sodium chloride must be added to 100 mL of water so that its concentration is 20 parts per million assume that the dens
OlgaM077 [116]
Answer: 2mg

Part per million is unit that equal to mg/kg of water or simply 10^{-6} . In this case, you asked how much NaCl needed and know the volume of water(100mL), concentration(20ppm or 20 mg/kg) and water density.
Then, the equation would be

concentration = NaCl weight/ water weight
20 x 10^{-6} mg= NaCl weight/ (100ml x 1g/ml)
NaCl weight= 20x 10^{-6} mg/kg x 100g 
NaCl weight= 2000 x 10^{-6} g
NaCl weight= 2x 10^{-3} g = 2mg
