Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up a compound.
The percentage composition of each element has been given
therefore the mass present of each element in 100 g of compound is
B N H
mass 40.28 g 52.20 g 7.53 g
number of moles
40.28 g / 11 g/mol 52.20 g / 14 g/mol 7.53 g / 1 g/mol
= 3.662 mol = 3.729 mol = 7.53 mol
divide the number of moles by the least number of moles, that is 3.662
3.662 / 3.662 3.729 / 3.662 7.53 / 3.662
= 1.000 = 1.018 = 2.056
the ratio of the elements after rounding off to the nearest whole number is
B : N : H = 1 : 1 : 2
therefore empirical formula for the compound is B₁N₁H₂
that can be written as BNH₂
Answer: IONIC EQUATION.
Explanation:
A chemical equation is defined as the form by which a chemical reaction is represented mathematically. These are written in the form of symbols and chemical formulas of reactants and products which are taking part in the chemical reaction. A chemical equation can be written in two forms, these include:
--> MOLECULAR EQUATION: in this type of equations, the compounds are written and represented in a molecular form. This is sometimes referred to as a balanced equation.
--> IONIC EQUATION: This is a type of chemical equation in which the electrolytes in aqueous solution are expressed as dissociated ions. A typical illustrated example is seen in the reaction between AgNO3(aq) and NaCl(aq) :
Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) → AgCl(s) + Na+(aq) + NO3-(aq)
The (aq) written in the above equation signifies they are in aqueous solution.
