Which of the following best describes an empirical formula?

Chemistry

Monica [59]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Option C :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio

Explanation:

Empirical Formula:

Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

Tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

For Example

      C₂H₆O₂ Consist of  Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O)

Now

Look at the ratio of these three atoms in the compound

                         C : H : O

                         2 : 6 : 2

Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

                          C : H : O

                         2/2 : 6/2 : 2/2

                             1 : 3 : 1

So for the empirical formula the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:3:1

So the empirical formula will be

                     Empirical formula of C₂H₆O₂ = CH₃O

So, Option C is correct :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio

Determine the moles of NH3 that can form from 70.0 grams N2.
Darina [25.2K]

Hey there!

5 moles will be produced.

N₂ has a molar mass of 28.014 g/mol.

Convert 70g to mol:

70 ÷ 28.014 = 2.5

In N₂ there are 2 nitrogen atoms. In NH₃ there is 1 nitrogen atom.

So, there will be twice as many moles of NH₃ because every one molecule of N₂ will produce two molecules of NH₃.

2.5 x 2 = 5 moles

Hope this helps!

H2O2 is a polyatomic ion<br> ?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

If you are meaning O2^2- ion, well, don’t forget that ions have a charge, that has to be specified when referring to them. It is a polyatomic ion just because it consists of more than one atom, irrespective of the fact that these atoms are of the same element or not. It was given that name because at the early times chemistry was founded as a science, it was found that with respect to other oxygenated substances, peroxides contained more oxygen than expected: Latin prefix per- gives the terms it is attached to the meaning of being increased, enhanced, and similar.
