An ionic compound is a compound between a metal and a non metal where the metal (normally from group 1 or 2) transferrs an electron to the non metal ( most commonly from group 6 or 7) . this is so that both atoms have a full outer shell of electrons. the metal gains a positive charge and the non metal a negative charge. they are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction. an example would be sodium chloride (salt) sodium is in group 1 and chlorine in group 7 so sodium transfers one electron :)
Answer: The molecular formula is
Explanation:
We are given:
Mass of
= 0.1605 g
Mass of
= 0.0220 g
mass of
= 0.1425 g
Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.
Moles of C =
Moles of H =
Moles of S =
Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.
For C =
For H =
For S =
The ratio of C : H: S= 3: 5: 1
Hence the empirical formula is
The empirical weight of
= 3(12)+5(1)+1(32)= 73g.
The molecular weight = 146 g/mole
Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.
The molecular formula will be=
