The molecular formula gives us the total number of atoms of the compound. To do this we are going to count each of the atoms.
We have:
C = 4
H = 8
O = 2
So, the molecular formula will be C4H8O2
The empirical formula is the simplest way to represent a molecule, we simplify taking the denominators of the molecule to its simplest form, as they are all multiplies of two we can divide everything by this number and thus we obtain the empirical formula.
So, the empirical formula will be C2H4O
You're going to divide the mass of chlorine within the compound by the mass of the compound, and then multiply the result by 100 to get the answer
This is an acid – base reaction and this always result a salt and water
in a neutralization reaction. <span>
The salt that is formed will be calcium bromide (calcium
is located in group 2 so calcium bromide has a formula of CaBr2)
so essentially we got:
HBr + Ca(OH)2 ------> CaBr2 + H2O </span>
balancing the elements: <span>
<span>2HBr(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) --------> CaBr2(aq) +
2H2O(l)</span></span>
