Assume there are 100g of the compound.
Mass of carbon:20.01g
Mass of oxygen:79.99g
Number of mole of carbon:20.01/12=1.6675mol
Number of mole of oxygen:79.99/32=2.4996875mol
Mole ratio between carbon and oxygen:
1.6675/1.6675:2.4996875/1.6675
=1:1.499062969
1x2:1.499062969x2
=2:2.998125937
≈2:3
Hence, the empirical formula:
C2O3

What is the mass of 2.65 millimoles of sulfur?
Bas_tet [7]
Divide this problem in to two steps: 1. Convert millimoles to moles. 2. Convert moles to grams.

1.
2.65 mlmol x 1mol/1000mlmol=.00265mol

2.
.00265mol x 32.065g/1 mol=.0850g S

Let me know if you need more explanation on why I used the conversions that I did.
