Explanation:

The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior. All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties. The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called periods.

A sample compound contains 5.723g Ag, 0.852g S and 1.695g O. Determine its empirical formula.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$Ag_2SO_4$

Explanation:

Formula for the calculation of no. of Mol is as follows:

$mol=\frac{mass\ (g)}{molecular\ mass}$

Molecular mass of Ag = 107.87 g/mol

Amount of Ag = 5.723 g

$mol\ of\ Ag=\frac{5.723\ g}{107.87\ g/mol} =0.05305\ mol$

Molecular mass of S = 32 g/mol

Amount of S = 0.852 g

$mol\ of\ S=\frac{0.852\ g}{32\ g/mol} =0.02657\ mol$

Molecular mass of O = 16 g/mol

Amount of O = 1.695 g

$mol\ of\ O=\frac{1.695\ g}{16\ g/mol} =0.10594\ mol$

In order to get integer value, divide mol by smallest no.

Therefore, divide by 0.02657

$Ag, \frac{0.05305}{0.02657} \approx 2$

$S, \frac{0.02657}{0.02657} \approx 1$

$O, \frac{0.10594}{0.02657} \approx 4$

Therefore, empirical formula of the compound = $Ag_2SO_4$
