Answer:

Empirical formula:

Fe₂O

Subscript of iron in empirical formula is 2.

Explanation:

Empirical formula:

It is the simplest formula  that gives the smallest whole number ratio between the atoms of elements present in a compound.

Given data:

Mass of iron = 87.47 g

Mass of oxygen = 12.53 g

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of iron = 87.47 /55.845 =1.57 grams atoms

Number of gram atoms of oxygen = 12.53 / 16 = 0.78 grams atoms

Atomic ratio:

Fe                   :          O

1.57/0.78        :       0.78/0.78  

     2               :              1                    

Fe : O = 2  :  1

Empirical formula:

Fe₂O

Subscript of iron in empirical formula is 2.

Which nonmetal would an ion of Ca2+ MOST LIKELY ionically bond with in a 1:1 ratio? A) one atom of neon B) one atom of carbon C)
GalinKa [24]
Ca2+ would bond to any element in a 1 to 1 ratio that had an equal and opposite charge.

Neon is a noble gas, and doesn’t form bonds m

Carbon isn’t typically found in ion state, but if it did, it would likely by C4+

Flouring in ionic state is F1-, so you would need 2 flourines to cancel the 2+ charge of Calcium

Then the only option left would be Oxygen which, when in ion form is found be 2-
