3 0

A3B9 represents a molecular formula. The representation of the empirical formula for this compound is AB3. This is so because the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of the atoms present in the molecule. You get AB3 when you divide the subscripts of A3B9, this is 3 and 9, by the greatest common factor, which is 3. 3/3 = 1 and 9/3 = 3, so the subscripts for the empirical formula are 1 and 3, which is what AB3 represents. <span>Answer: AB3.</span>

enyata [817]

The coefficients of the substances give you the ratio of the number of moles.
The 4 before the H2O and the 5 before the HCl tell you that for every 5 moles of HCl created, 4 moles of H2O had to react.

Therefore:
$(3.45mol HCl)(\frac{4 mol H2O}{5 mol HCl})$
can be used to find the moles of H2O that react.

$(3.45mol HCl)(\frac{4 mol H2O}{5 mol HCl}) = 2.76 mol H20$
