Answer:
Hydrocarbon is a Compound that is made up of Carbon and Hydrogen .
Step one calculate the moles of each element
that is moles= % composition/molar mass
molar mass of Ca = 40g/mol, S= 32 g/mol , O= 16 g/mol
moles of Ca = 29.4 /40g/mol=0.735 moles, S= 23.5/32 =0.734 moles, O= 47.1/16= 2.94 moles
calculate the mole ratio by dividing each mole with smallest mole that is 0.734
Ca= 0.735/0.734= 1, S= 0.734/0.734 =1, O = 2.94/ 0.734= 4
therefore the emipical formula = CaSO4
Answer:
.0924 moles of NaCl
Explanation:
So you know you have 5.4 g of NaCl and you need to know how many moles there are in this amount of NaCl
- You'll need to find the atomic mass of the compound NaCl to help you solve for moles
- Sodium (Na) on the periodic table has a mass of 22.99
- Chlorine (Cl) on the periodic table has a mass of 35.45
Add these two together----> 22.99 + 35.45 = 58.44
Now you can calculate for moles
<u>Written-out method:</u>
<u>5.4 grams of NaCl | 1 mole of NaCl </u>
| 58.44 grams NaCl = .0924 moles of NaCl
<u>Plug into calculator method:</u>
(5.4 g of NaCl/ 58.44g NaCl= .0925 moles)
The answer is dissolved in water, because in chemistry, (aq) is shorthand for aqueous solution.
