There are MANY subatomic particles in an atom.
But the three most important ones are
The electron which has a negative charge.
The proton having a positive charge.
And the neutron which is neutral or which has no charge at all.
The protons and neutrons club together and form the inner, heavy part of the atom which is positively charges because of the protons known as the nucleus.
And electrons remain farther away in all reality and revolve around the inner positive nucleus.
Trying its best to make the whole atom neutral!
Answer:
Approximately
.
Explanation:
Make use of the molar mass data (
) to calculate the number of moles of molecules in that
of
:
.
Make sure that the equation for this reaction is balanced.
Coefficient of
in this equation:
.
Coefficient of
in this equation:
.
In other words, for every two moles of
that this reaction consumes, two moles of
would be produced.
Equivalently, for every mole of
that this reaction consumes, one mole of
would be produced.
Hence the ratio:
.
Apply this ratio to find the number of moles of
that this reaction would have produced:
.
Answer:
Empirical formula is CH₄
Molecular formula = C₂H₈
Explanation:
Mass of carbon = 37.5 g
Mass of hydrogen = 12.5 g
Molecular weight = 32 g/mol
Molecular formula = ?
Empirical formula = ?
Solution:
Number of gram atoms of C = 37.5 g /12g/mol = 3.125
Number of gram atoms of H = 12.5 g / 1.008 g/mol= 12.4
Atomic ratio:
C : H
3.125/3.125 : 12.4 /3.125
1 : 4
C : H : = 1 : 4
Empirical formula is CH₄
Molecular formula:
Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)
n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass
n = 32 / 16
n = 2
Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)
Molecular formula = 2 ( CH₄)
Molecular formula = C₂H₈
