 <span>First - you need the empirical formula. 

So, assume you have 100 g of the compound. 

If so, you'll have 54.53 gram of C, 9.15 g of H and 36.32 g of O. Find the number of moles of each. 

54.53 g C (1 mole C / 12.01 g C) = 4.540 

9.15 g H (1 mole H / 1.008 g H) = 9.077 

36.32 g O (1 mole O / 15.9994 g O) = 2.270 

Take the smallest number found and divide the others by it to get the empirical formula. 

4.540/2.270 = 2. 
9.077/2.270 = 4. 
2.270/2.270 =1. 

So, that gives you the empirical formula of C2H4O. 

Find the weight of this compound. C = 12, H = 1, O = 16. So, C2H4O is 44 amu. 

132/44 = 3. 

So, 3 (C2 H4 O) = C6H12O3 = molecular formula.</span>

A copper atom has a mass of 1 06 times 10^-22 g and a penny has a mass of 2.5 g. Use this information to answer the questions be
amm1812

Answer:

Mass of 1 mole of copper is 63.83 g.

0.03916 moles of copper atoms have a mass equal to the 2.5 grams of copper penny.

Explanation:

Mass of 1 copper atom,m = 1.06\times 10^{-22} g

1 mole = 6.022\times 10^{23} atoms

Mass of 1 mole of copper :

= 6.022\times 10^{23} atoms\times 1.06\times 10^{-22} g=63.83 g

Mass of 1 mole of copper = 63.83 g

Mass of copper penny = 2.5 g

Atomic mass of copper = 63.83 g/mol

Moles of copper in 2.5 g of copper penny:

\frac{2.5 g}{63.83 g/mol}=0.03916 mol

0.03916 moles of copper atoms have a mass equal to the 2.5 grams of copper penny.
