Mercury Oxide— the chemical formula for that would be Hg2O. :)
The answer would be exothermic reaction!
The answer is
C. condensation
The element that is commonly found in meteorites is oxygen
The empirical formula of the compound is calculated as follows
first calculate the mass of oxygen= 12-(4.09 +3.71)= 5.02g
then calculate the moles of each element, moles = mass/ molar mass
moles of K = 4.09g/39 g/mol(molar mass of K) = 0.105 moles
moles of Cl = 3.71g/35.5 g/mol(molar mass of Cl) = 0.105 moles
moles of O = 5.02g/ 16g/mol(molar mass of O) = 0.314 moles
then calculate e mole ratio by dividing each mole by the smallest number of moles ( 0.105 moles)
K=0.105/0.105= 1
Cl=0.105 /0.105=1
O= 0.314/0.105=3
therefore the empirical formula = KClO3
