Empirical formula of the compound is the simplest ratio of components making up the compound.
In 100 g there’s 87.1 g of Ag and 12.9 g of S.
Let’s calculate for 100 g of the compound
Ag S
Mass 87.1 g 12.9 g
Moles. 87.1 /107.8 g/mol 12.9/32 g/mol
=0.8 mol =0.4mol
Divide by the least number of moles
0.8/0.4 =2 0.4/0.4=1
Ratio of Ag to S is 2:1
Therefore empirical formula is Ag2S

How many moles of sucrose<br> are in 5.25x1029 sucrose<br> molecules?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

872093.02moles

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of atoms of Sucrose  = 5.25 x 10²⁹atoms

Unknown:

Number of moles  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we must understand that a mole of any substance contains the Avogadro's number of particles.

             6.02 x 10²³ atoms makes up 1 mole of an atom

             5.25 x 10²⁹ atoms will contain = \frac{5.25 x 10^{29} }{6.02 x 10^{23} }  = 872093.02moles
