A sample of an ionic compound that is often used as a dough conditioner is analyzed and found to contain 4.628 g of potassium, 9

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The empirical formula of the compound is = $KBrO_3$

The name of the compound is potassium bromate.

Explanation:

Mass of potassium = 4.628 g

Moles of potassium = $\frac{4.628 g}{39 g/mol}=0.1187 mol$

Mass of bromine = 9.457 g

Moles of bromine = $\frac{9.457 g}{80 g/mol}=0.1182 mol$

Mass of oxygen = 5.681 g

Moles of oxygen = $\frac{5.681 g}{16 g/mol}0.3551$

For empirical formula of the compound, divide the least number of moles from all the moles of elements present in the compound:

Potassium :

$\frac{0.1187 mol}{0.1182 mol}=1.0$

Bromine;

$\frac{0.1182 mol}{0.1182 mol}=1.0$

Oxygen ;

$\frac{0.3551 mol}{0.1182 mol}=3.0$

The empirical formula of the compound is = $KBrO_3$

The name of the compound is potassium bromate.

9474 millimeters to centimeters using scientific notation showing work

puteri [66]

Answer:

9.474 x 10^2

Explanation:

ok. first you have to get the value in the required unit so 9474mm/(10mm/cm) = 947.4 so scientific notation states that the number must be raised to any power of an integer and the value of the number being raised must be less than than 10 and more than or equal to 1

so it must have one digit in front so.. 947.4 becomes 9.474 and because you move 2 places to the left, ur power is positive 2

and proof 10^2 is 100 so multiply 9.474 by 100 and u will get 947.4 cm which is also 9474 mm
