Answer is: <span>c. Fe</span>₃<span>O</span>₄<span>.
</span>ω(Fe) = 72,360%.
ω(O) = 100% - 72,36% = 27,64%.
For example, if we the mass of compound is 100 g:
m(Fe) = 72,36 g.
n(Fe) = m(Fe) ÷ M(Fe).
n(Fe) = 72,36 g ÷ 55,85 g/mol.
n(Fe) = 1,296 mol.
n(O) = 27,64 g ÷ 16 g/mol.
n(O) = 1,727 mol.
n(Fe) : n(O) = 1,296 mol : 1,727 mol.
n(Fe) : n(O) = 1 : 1,33 or 3 : 4.

<span>Option C. The percentages can be taken for mass. So mass of Iron = 72.360% = 72.36g So mass of Oxygen = 100 - 72.360 = 27.694% = 27.65g Number of moles of Iron = mass/ molar mass = 72.36/ 55.854 = 1.29 Number of moles of Oxygen = 27.65/16 = 1 .728 We shall divide by the smallest So we have 1.29/1.29 = 1 while 1.728/1.29 = 1.33 But 1.33 = 4/3. So we multiply by the lowest common number which happens to be a 3. Hence the empirical formula is Fe3O4.</span>

How is a weak acid DIFFERENT from a dilute acid?
telo118 [61]
In a dilute acid solution most if not all of the molecules will split into ions.
For example HCl is a strong acid and 100% of the molecules will split into
H+ & Cl-

in a weak acid solution only a portion of the molecules will turn into ions because the ionization percentage isn't as large. Which will essentially leave a high percentage of un-reacted molecules
