The empirical formula for a compound that contains 48.6%C, 8.2% H, and 43.2% S by mass is
.
<h3>What is the empirical formula?</h3>
An empirical formula tells us the relative ratios of different atoms in a compound.
We need to calculate the number of moles
Number of a mole of carbon =
48.6 g X (
) =4.05 mole
Number of a mole of hydrogen =
8.2g X (
) =8.14 mole
Number of moles of sulphur =
43.2g X (
) = 1.35 mole
Dividing each mole using the smallest number that is divided by 1.35 moles.
Carbon=
=3
Oxygen=
=6
Sulfur=
=1

A model represents a place thing or idea. A made is a model as it shows a place and represents the place it’s showing such as a globe
The elements on the left side of the periodic table are positive ions because they all lose electrons to find balance, thus leaving them with a positive charge.
Moles are used conveniently in chemistry especially in stoichiometric calculations involving reactions. The unit of mole is a collective term that holds 6.022×10^23 particles. These particles is a general term for any small units of matter including molecules, atoms and sub-particles. This ratio of 6.022×10^23 particles to 1 mole is known to be the Avogadro's number. Its exact number is actually <span>6.0221409</span>×10^23. We use this constant in our stoichiometric calculation as follows:
15 moles oxygen * (6.022×10^23 molecules/ 1 mole oxygen) = 9.033×10^24 molecules of oxygen
Answer: chemistry is love ❤️ #bae
Explanation: ok just kidding. The dictionary says chemistry is the scientific discipline with elements and compounds of atoms, molecules, and ions
