"There are three rules on determining how many significant figures are in a number: Non-zero digits are always significant. Any zeros between two significant digits are significant. A final zero or trailing zeros in the decimal portion ONLY are significant."

An oxide of aluminum contains 0.545 g of Al and 0.485 g of O. Find the empirical formula
uysha [10]

Answer:

The answer is: <u>Al2O3</u>

Explanation:

The data they give us is:

  • 0.545 gr Al
  • 0.485 gr O.

To find the empirical formula without knowing the grams of the compound, we find it per mole:

  • 0.545 g Al * 1 mol Al / 27 g Al = 0.02 mol Al
  • 0.485 g O * 1 mol O / 16 g O = 0.03 mol O

Then we must divide the results obtained by the lowest result, which in this case is 0.02:

  • 0.02 mol Al / 0.02 = 1  Al
  • 0.03 mol O / 0.02 = 1.5  O

Since both numbers have to give an integer, multiply by 2 until both remain integers:

  • 1Al * 2 = 2Al
  • 1.5O * 2 = 3O

Now the answer is given correctly:

  • Al2O3
