Calculate the empirical formula of a compound that has a composition of 5.9% (by mass) hydrogen and 94.1% (by mass) oxygen.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The empirical formula is the simplest form;

Given:

Oxygen O at 94.1% and

H at 5.9%

Assume 100grams.

94% = 0.941 x 100gm. = 94.1 gm x 1mole/16gm. = 5.88 moles of O

5.9% = 0.059 x 100gm. = 5.9gm. X 1moleH/1.002gm. = 5.88 moles of H

There is one mole of O for each mole of H so the empirical formula is $O_1H_1$

and written as OH.
