Answer:

Fe₃Si₇

Explanation:

In order to determine the empirical formula, we have to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Determine the percent composition

Fe: 46.01%

Si: 53.99%

Step 2: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

Fe: 46.01/55.85 = 0.8238

Si: 53.99/28.09 = 1.922

Step 3: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one

Fe: 0.8238/0.8238 = 1

Si: 1.922/0.8238 = 2.33

Step 4: Multiply by numbers that make the coefficients whole.

Fe: 1 × 3 = 3

Si: 2.33 × 3 = 7

The empirical formula is Fe₃Si₇.

What is the molar mass of a compound?
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The molar mass of a compound is The mass in grams of 1 mole of the compound (Option A)

Explanation:

Let's take ammonia as an example (NH3)

Mass of N = 14 g

Mass of H = 1 g

Molar mass of ammonia is Mass of N + (Mass of H).3

14 + 3 = 17 g/m

Ammonia is a compound that has 1 mol of N, plus 3 moles of H (see the formula)

The number of atoms in 1 mole of the compound --> This is Avogadro

In each of the following blanks, only enter a numerical value.
tatiyna

Answer:

1) 1,... 2

2) 18

3) n= 3 and I=1

Explanation:

1) when l= 0, its an s-sub-level, and only 1 orbital is possible which can carry only 2-electrons

2) the maximum number of electron is given by 2n^2= 2×3^2= 18

3) in 3p, the coefficient of p is the value of n= 3 and l-value of P is 1

A compound is determined to have the empirical formula C2OH4. If the molar mass of the compound is 132 g/mol, determine the mole
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: The molecular formula will be C_6O_3H_{12}

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical weight of C_2OH_{4} is 12\times 2+16\times 1+1\times 4=44g

Molecular mass of compound is = 132 g

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{132}{44}=3

The molecular formula will be=3\times C_2OH_4=C_6O_3H_{12}
