Answer:
The outermost energy shell of an atom likes to be full with 8 electons
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
Pair 2.50g of O₂ and 2.50g of N₂
The atoms sample with the largest number of moles since the masses are the same would be the one with lowest molar mass according the the equation below:
Number of moles = 
Atomic mass of O = 16g and N = 14g
Molar mass of O₂ = 16 x 2 = 32gmol⁻¹
Molar mass of N₂ = 14 x 2 = 28gmol⁻¹
Number of moles of O₂ =
= 0.078mole
Number of moles of N₂ =
= 0.089mole
We see that N₂ has the largest number of moles
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound
in 100 g of compound
C H O
mass 25.5 g 6.40 g 68.1 g
number of moles 25.5 g/12 g/mol 6.40 g/ 1 g/mol 68.1 g/ 16 g/mol
= 2.13 mol = 6.40 mol = 4.26 mol
divide by least number of moles
2.13/2.13 = 1 6.40/2.13 = 3.0 4.26/2.13 = 2.0
all rounded off
C - 1
H - 3
O - 2
empirical formula - CH₃O₂
