Answer:
K₂CO₃
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Number of moles of K = 0.104mol
Number of moles of C = 0.052mol
Number of moles of O = 0.156mol
Method
From the given parameters, to calculate the empirical formula of the elements K, C and O, we reduce the given moles to the simplest fraction.
Empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound and it differs from the molecular formula which is the actual formula of a compound.
- Divide the given moles through by the smallest which is C, 0.052mol.
- Then approximate values obtained to the nearest whole number of multiply by a factor to give a whole number ratio.
- This is the empirical formula
Solution
Elements K C O
Number of moles 0.104 0.052 0.156
Dividing by the
smallest 0.104/0.052 0.052/0.052 0.156/0.052
2 1 3
The empirical formula is K₂CO₃
Yes it does, its derived from the greek name for beryl, or beryllo
Answer:
1859.4 g of ZnCrO₄ in 10.25 moles
Explanation:
First of all, we determine the molecular formula of the compound:
Zinc → Zn²⁺ (cation)
Chromate → CrO₄⁻² (anion)
Zinc chromate → ZnCrO₄
Molar mass for the compound is:
Molar mass of Zn + Molar mass of Cr + (Molar mass of O) . 4 = 181.41 g/mol
65.41 g/mol + 52 g/mol + 16 g/mol . 4 = 181.41 g/mol
Let's apply this conversion factor: 10.25 mol . 181.41 g/mol = 1859.4 g
