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

A chemical reaction in which bonds are created is usually associated with ________.
Nikolay [14]

A  reaction in which bonds are created is usually associated with the Release of energy.

What are the various types of bonds?

There are three sorts of bonds:

1. Electrovalent or  electrovalent bond

2.  chemical bond

3.  dative bond

Electrovalent or electrovalent bond are formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

Covalent bonds are formed when the atoms during a  molecule share an equal number of electrons.

A dative bond is one in which both electrons in a shared pair come from the same atom.

Now, atoms tend to stabilize once they form chemical bonds, releasing energy within the process. Energy is released because there's a higher level of stability associated with a low energy level.

Hence, a  reaction in which bonds are created is usually associated with the release of energy.

For the reaction o(g) + o2(g) → o3(g) δh o = −107.2 kj/mol given that the bond enthalpy in o2(g) is 498.7 kj/mol, calculate the
Aneli [31]
The reaction;
O(g) +O2(g)→O3(g), ΔH = sum of bond enthalpy of reactants-sum of food enthalpy of products.
ΔH = ( bond enthalpy of O(g)+bond enthalpy of O2 (g) - bond enthalpy of O3(g)
-107.2 kJ/mol = O+487.7kJ/mol =O+487.7 kJ/mol +487.7kJ/mol =594.9 kJ/mol
Bond enthalpy (BE) of O3(g) is equals to 2× bond enthalpy of O3(g) because, O3(g) has two types of bonds from its lewis structure (0-0=0).
∴2BE of O3(g) = 594.9kJ/mol
Average bond enthalpy = 594.9kJ/mol/2
=297.45kJ/mol
∴ Averange bond enthalpy of O3(g) is 297.45kJ/mol.
