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
Covalent bond is a type of chemical bond which is formed as a result of sharing of electron pairs among the elements that are involved. The structure of the covalent bond is affected by the electronegativity of the elements involved. The molecules joined by covalent bond range in size from very small to very large polymers. There are different types of structures for covalent substances, these include: macromolecular substances, molecular substances and giant covalent structures. Strong bonds hold individual molecules together but there are negligible forces of attraction among them.
Answer:
The exposed metal rusts is an example of a chemical change because rust is an example of a chemical change in objects for example bicycles, scooters, etc.
mass of PbI₂ = 27.6606 g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Pb(NO₃)₂ + NaI → PbI₂ + NaNO₃
28.0 grams of Pb(NO₃)₂ react with 18.0 grams of NaI
Required
mass of PbI₂
Solution
Balanced equation
Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2NaI → PbI₂ + 2NaNO₃
The principle of a balanced reaction is the number of atoms in the reactants = the number of atoms in the product
mol Pb(NO₃)₂ :
= 28 : 331,2 g/mol
= 0.0845
mol NaI :
= 18 : 149,89 g/mol
= 0.12
Limiting reactant : mol : coefficient
Pb(NO₃)₂ : 0.0845 : 1 = 0.0845
NaI : 0.12 : 2 = 0.06
NaI limiting reactant (smaller ratio)
mol PbI₂ based on NaI
= 1/2 x 0.12 = 0.06
Mass PbI₂ :
= 0.06 x 461,01 g/mol
= 27.6606 g
Since it has 4 electrons, it needs only 4 more to be stable. Therefore, it would share electrons, which is a covalent bond.
Answer: Covalent bond
