the empirical formula for this compound
Solution
The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.
The empirical formula also shows the simplest mole ratio of the constituent elements of the compound
mol of element A :
mol of element G :
mol ratio A : G = 0.5 : 0.25 = 2 : 1
Answer:
The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide is 85:42.
2.5559 kg of Zn are in 3.82 kg of ZnS.
Explanation:
a) Mass of zinc sulfide = 254 g
Mass of zinc in a zinc sulfide sample = 170 g
Mass of sulfide in zinc sulfide sample = x
254 g = 170 g+ x
x = 84 g
The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide:
b) Mass of zincsulfide sample = 3.83 kg
The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide is 85:42.
Let the mass of zinc and sulfide be 85x and 42x respectively:
85 x+ 42 x=3.82 kg
x =0.03007 kg
Mass of an zinc= 85x=85 × 0.03007 kg= 2.5559 kg
