The empirical formula of the compound is calculated as follows
first calculate the mass of oxygen= 12-(4.09 +3.71)= 5.02g
then calculate the moles of each element, moles = mass/ molar mass
moles of K = 4.09g/39 g/mol(molar mass of K) = 0.105 moles
moles of Cl = 3.71g/35.5 g/mol(molar mass of Cl) = 0.105 moles
moles of O = 5.02g/ 16g/mol(molar mass of O) = 0.314 moles
then calculate e mole ratio by dividing each mole by the smallest number of moles ( 0.105 moles)
K=0.105/0.105= 1
Cl=0.105 /0.105=1
O= 0.314/0.105=3
therefore the empirical formula = KClO3
Answer:
you tilt the cylinder at a slight angle so that the metal slides down the sides, rather than drops all it`s weight to the bottom
Answer:
Is there a diagram that you can post
Hey there!
We know that a chemical reaction is balanced when there is the same amount of each element on both sides of the equation.
According to the law of conservation of mass, matter cannot be created or destroyed, so we must have the same amount of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
We count the amount of each element on each side, and the products should have the same number as the reactants.
Hope this helps!
