The way you calculate the empirical formula is to firstly assume 100g. To find each elements moles you take each elements percentage listed, times it by one mole and divide it by its atomic mass. (ex: moles of K =55.3g x 1 mole/39.1g, therefore there is 1.41432225 moles of Potassium) Once you’ve completed this for every element you list each elements symbol beside it’s number of moles and divide by the smallest number because it can only go into its self once. After you’ve done this, you’ve found your empirical formula, which is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. I’ve added an example of a empirical question I completed last semester :)
Answer:
Oxygen's atomic weight is 16.00 amu. 1 mole of oxygen is 6.02 x 1023 atoms of oxygen 1 amu = 1.661 x 10-24g What is the molar mass (g/mole) of oxygen? Molar mass (in grams) is always equal to the atomic weight of the atom! Molar mass (in grams) is always equal to the atomic weight of the atom!
The answer is zero!
let me know if you need help with anything else! :)
Answer:B. The sodium ion has a smaller radius than the atom.
Explanation:
Because size of cation is less than neutral atom
<span>C is the correct answer. Elements in the periodic table are grouped based on having similar properties. For example, the noble gases are all non-reactive and non-metallic. The electronic structure of an atom is the way the electrons are arranged within it, and this affects where they are located in the periodic table. The number of electrons in an element is the same as its group number in the periodic table (with the exception of Group 0).</span>
