A compound made of two elements, iridium (Ir) and oxygen (O), was produced in a lab by heating iridium while exposed to air. The

1) Compund Ir (x) O(y)

2) Mass of iridium = mass of crucible and iridium - mass of crucible = 39.52 g - 38.26 g = 1.26 g

3) Mass of iridium oxide = mass of crucible and iridium oxide - mass of crucible = 39.73g - 38.26g = 1.47g

4) Mass of oxygen = mass of iridum oxide - mass of iridium = 1.47g - 1.26g = 0.21g

5) Convert grams to moles

moles of iridium = mass of iridium / molar mass of iridium = 1.26 g / 192.17 g/mol = 0.00656 moles

moles of oxygen = mass of oxygen / molar mass of oxygen = 0.21 g / 15.999 g/mol = 0.0131

6) Find the proportion of moles

Divide by the least of the number of moles, i.e. 0.00656

Ir: 0.00656 / 0.00656 = 1

O: 0.0131 / 0.00656 = 2

=> Empirical formula = Ir O2 (where 2 is the superscript for O)

Answer: Ir O2
