Chemistry

To find them you would have numbers of the elements in percentage or grams then you divide them by their molar mass to get their moles. From there you divide by the smallest number. Round it to two or one sig fig. If you have a number that is for ex. 2.5 you multiply it by 2 to make it whole as well the other whole numbers. Then to find the molecular formula the problem must give you another molar mass and using your empirical formula convert it to its molar mass then you divide them, larger number over smaller number. You should get a number round it to 1 sig fig. Now you use that number and multiply the subscripts on the empirical formula to get the molecular formula.

What is the purpose of adding phenolphthalein to your Erlenmeyer flask prior to starting a titration?
koban [17]

Answer:

a. The phenolphthalein acts as a color changing indicator to signal the endpoint of the reaction.

Explanation:

Phenolphthalein is an organic substance with chemical formula C_{20}H_{14}O_{4}.

It is a substance commonly used in acid-base titrations to indicate the end point in the titration because phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions but turns a purplish-pink color in basic solutions.

In this way it helps visually to notice when the final point of the titration has been reached.

stira [4]

Answer:

First of all, it's KNO₃ not KNO.

Second, KNO₃ is neither an acid nor it is a base, infact, it is a salt and therefore it's neutral.
