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
10. You demonstrated the difference in density of the two objects. It is a physical property.
11. First calculate the density for all of them: density = mass/volume
Density:
A. 5/6 g/ml
B. 10/9 g/ml
C. 15/16 g/ml
D. 20/10 g/ml
If the density of the substance is higher than the density of the substance it is put in, then it will sink. So substances B and D will sink in water, as their densities are higher than 1 g/ml.
12. Ammonia weighs less than water does-- for example, the weight of 8 gallons of ammonia will be equivalent to the weight of 5 gallons of water.
Hope this helped!
Basically this is used in calculating the nuclear binding energy by converting the mass defect (calculated first) to energy and if we recall, Einstein's equation E=mc2 is the perfection equation to use because E=mc2 in which E represents units of energy, m represents units of mass, and c 2 is the speed of light squared.
