Data: molar mass 470 g/mol
Percent composition:
Hg = 85.0%
Cl = 15.0%
Solution:
1) Convert % to molar ratios
A. Base: 100 g
=> Hg = 85.0 g / 200.59 g/mol = 0.4235 mol
Cl = 15.0 g / 35.45 g/mol = 0.4231 mol
B. divide by the higher number and round to whole number
Hg = 0.4325 / 0.4231 = 1.00
Cl = 0.4231 / 0.4231 = 1.00
=> Empirical formula = Hg Cl
2) Find the mass of the empirical formula:
HgCl: 200.59 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 236.04
3) Determine how many times is the empirical mass contained in the molecular mass:
470 g/mol / 236.04 = 1.99 ≈ 2
=> Molecular formula = Hg2 Cl2.
Answers:
Empirical formula HgCl
Molecular Formula Hg2Cl2
Balancing of chemical equation is essential because of the law of conservation of mass, which states that the mass of a system can not be created or removed.
The second equation is balanced
This is because the number of elements of each atom in the product side equal the number of elements of each atom on the reactant side.
The first equation is not balanced
This is because there is 1 molecule of 
on reactant side as compared to 3 molecules of
To balance the equation we add a coefficient of 3 on sulphuric acid (
) and a coefficient of 3 on hydrogen (
)
The spoon should be connected to the negative terminal of the battery. The other electrode should be made of silver.
Answer:
Option A. 6.75 (6.20/85.6)
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Initial volume (V1) = 6.2cm³
Initial concentration (C1) = 6.75M
Final volume (V2) = 85.6cm³
Final concentration (C2) =.?
The final concentration can be obtained by using the dilution formula as show below:
C1V1 = C2V2
6.75 x 6.2 = C2 x 85.6
Divide both side by 85.6
C2 = (6.75 x 6.2) /85.6
C2 = 6.75 (6.2 / 85.6).
