The formula for magnesium chlorate is Mg(ClO3)2.
Answer:
Scientific Method.
Explanation:
A scientific method is basically a method or a process when you conduct an experiment. Normally, the process goes like this:
1. You make like a question or something that you want to investigate, it's like the aim of the experiment.
2. You make an experiment and a hypothesis. A hypothesis is basically a guess on how the results of the experiment would turn out. You don't have to be correct for the hypothesis since there is no right or wrong answer.
3. Conduct the experiment. I don't think this needs a detailed explanation since experiments vary from one another.
4. Collect results. The data you collect come in different ways based on your experiment, but it is crucial you get data so that you can answer your question in 1.
5. Make inferences. You can't directly get a conclusion or answer from the results, so inferences are needed.
6. Craft a conclusion or answer. This is the final step when conducting an experiment and the part where you have the answer you needed when you conducted the experiment :)
The empirical formula is K₂O.
The empirical formula is the <em>simplest whole-number ratio</em> of atoms in a compound.
The <em>ratio of atom</em>s is the same as the <em>ratio of moles</em>.
So, our job is to calculate the <em>molar ratio</em> of K to O.
Step 1. Calculate the <em>moles of each element
</em>
Moles of K = 32.1 g K × (1 mol K/(39.10 g K =) = 0.8210 mol K
Moles of O = 6.57 g O × (1 mol O/16.00 g O) = 0.4106 mol 0
Step 2. Calculate the <em>molar ratio of each elemen</em>t
Divide each number by the smallest number of moles and round off to an integer
K:O = 0.8210:0.4106 = 1.999:1 ≈ 2:1
Step 3: Write the <em>empirical formula
</em>
EF = K₂O
