Answer:

K₂CO₃    

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of K = 0.104mol

Number of moles of C = 0.052mol

Number of moles of O = 0.156mol

Method

From the given parameters, to calculate the empirical formula of the elements K, C and O, we reduce the given moles to the simplest fraction.

Empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound and it differs from the molecular formula which is the actual formula of a compound.

  • Divide the given moles through by the smallest which is C, 0.052mol.
  • Then approximate values obtained to the nearest whole number of multiply by a factor to give a whole number ratio.
  • This is the empirical formula

Solution

Elements                             K                       C                    O

Number of moles            0.104                0.052            0.156

Dividing by the

smallest                       0.104/0.052     0.052/0.052  0.156/0.052

                                            2                           1                     3

The empirical formula is K₂CO₃

zavuch27 [327]

The tool or instrument which is used to measure an object’s mass is electronic balance

Mass is a fundamental quantity

<h3>What is fundamental quantities?</h3>

Fundamental quantities can be defined as those physical quantities which forms the basic unit of measurement. They are the quantities upon which other quantities and units are derived from.

Mass is measured in kilograms (kg)

Other examples of fundamental quantities apart from mass are as follows:

  • Length
  • Time
  • Amount of substances
  • Luminous intensity
  • Temperature
  • Magnetic flux

So therefore, the tool or instrument which is used to measure an object’s mass is electronic balance
