What is the empirical formula for a compound that contains 38.77% Cl and 61.23% O?

1 answer:

3 0

W(Cl)=0.3877
w(O)=0.6123
M(Cl)=35.5 g/mol
M(O)=16.0 g/mol

ClₐOₓ
M(ClₐOₓ)=35.5a+16.0x

w(Cl)=35.5a/(35.5a+16.0x)
w(O)=16.0x/(35.5a+16.0x)

solve a system of two equations with two unknowns
35.5a/(35.5a+16.0x)=0.3877
16.0x/(35.5a+16.0x)=0.6123

a=2
x=7

Cl₂O₇ is the empirical formula

What is the acceleration of a 200 gram ice cube if the<br> net force on the ice cube is 2 N?

Law Incorporation [45]

Net force = mass x acceleration so you would plug in the numbers to make it
2n = 200 x a then divide by 200 on both sides
A = 0.01 m/s
