Mass, if you know what element you are working with.
1) divide each percentage by the relative atomic mass of the element
2) divide all results by the smallest number
3)multiply by a whole number to get the simplest whole number ratio (if necessary)
that is to say:
Na S O
32.37÷23 22.58÷32 45.05÷16
= 1.407 = 0.7056 = 2.816 (to 4 significant figures)
the smallest number here is 0.7056 so:
1.407÷0.7056 0.7056÷0.7056 2.816÷0.7056
=1.99 approx.2 = 1 3.99 approx. 4
here there is no need to carry out step 3 as ratio obtained is already a simplest whole number ratio
so empirical formula is: Na₂SO₄
Your question is incomplete. However, I found a similar problem fromanother website as shown in the attached picture.
To solve this problem, you must know that at STP, the volume for any gas is 22.4 L/mol. So,
Moles O₂: 156.8 mL * 1 L/1000 mL* 1 mol/22.4 L = 0.007 moles
Mass calcium: 0.007 mol O₂ * 2 mol Ca/1 mol O₂ * 40 g/mol Ca =
<em> 0.56 g Ca</em>
Hi, here is a basic summary of what we did in a lab; there were 3 reactions: The procedure: Reaction 1: Solid sodium hydroxide dissolves in water to form an aqueous solution of ions. NaOH(s)-> Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) ΔH1=-34.121kJ Reaction 2: Solid sodium hydroxide reacts with an aqueous solution of HCl to form water and an aqueous solution of sodium chloride. NaOH(s) + H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) -> H2O + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ΔH2=-83.602kJ Reaction 3: An aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide reacts with an aqueous solution of HCl to form water an an aqueous solution of sodium chloride. H+(aq) + OH-(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) -> H2O + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) ΔH3= -50.2kJ The ΔH values were calculated by dividing the heat gained by the number of moles (each reaction had 0.05moles of NaOH) The problem: Net ionic equations for reaction 2 & 3: 2: NaOH(s) + H+(aq) -> H2O + Na+(aq) 3: H+(aq) + OH-(aq) -> H2O i) In reaction 1, ΔH1 represents the heat evolved as solid NaOH dissolves. Look at the net ionic equations for reactions 2 and 3 and make similar statements as to what ΔH2 and ΔH3 represent. ii) Compare ΔH2 with (ΔH1 + ΔH3). Explain in sentences the similarity between these two values by using your answer to #5 above. Attempt at answering: i) Firstly, ΔH2 represents the heat evolved as the hydrogen ion displaces the sodium ion, creating a single displacement reaction. ΔH3 represents the heat evolved as the hydrogen and hydroxide ion form water via a neutralization reaction. ii) ΔH2 is equal to (or supposed to be, this is a source of error while calculating) (ΔH1 + ΔH3). The similarity between these two values is that .. (this is where I get confused!)

Answer:
1. A. The plant leans toward window.
Explanation:
Plants need light to perform photosynthesis and live. Therefore, this means the plant will always lean toward light in order to survive.
