Accuracy of a measured value refers to how close a measurement is to the correct value. The uncertainty in a measurement is an estimate of the amount by which the measurement result may differ from this value. Precision of measured values refers to how close the agreement is between repeated measurements.

A sample of a compound is decomposed in the laboratory and produces 330 g carbon, 69.5 g hydrogen, and 220.2 g oxygen. Calculate

Zarrin [17]

Answer: Empirical formula is $C_2H_5O$

Explanation: We are given the masses of elements present in a sample of compound. To evaluate empirical formula, we will be following some steps.

Step 1 : Converting each of the given masses into their moles by dividing them by Molar masses.

$Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Molar mass of Carbon = 12.0 g/mol

Molar mass of Hydrogen = 1.0 g/mol

Molar mass of Oxygen = 16.0 g/mol

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{330g}{12g/mol}=27.5moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{69.5g}{1g/mol}=69.5moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{220.2g}{16g/mol}=13.76moles$

Step 2: Dividing each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated above and rounding it off to the nearest whole number value

Smallest number of moles = 13.76 moles

$\text{Mole ratio of Carbon}=\frac{27.5moles}{13.76moles}=1.99\approx 2$

$\text{Mole ratio of Hydrogen}=\frac{69.5moles}{13.76moles}=5.05\approx 5$

$\text{Mole ratio of Oxygen}=\frac{13.76moles}{13.76moles}=1$

Step 3: Now, the moles ratio of the elements are represented by the subscripts in the empirical formula

Empirical formula becomes = $C_2H_5O$

The formula ca(no3)2 tells us that one formula unit of this compound is composed of ________ calcium atoms, ________ nitrogen at

ad-work [718]

Answer:- The formula $Ca(NO_3)_2$ tells us that one formula unit of this compound is composed of one calcium atom, two nitrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms.

Explanations:- Subscripts tell us about the number of atoms of the element for which they are used. For example, here the subscript of Ca is one, it means there is one calcium atom in the given one formula unit.

When we have subscripts inside and outside the parenthesis then they are multiplied and the outside subscript is considered for all the atoms present inside the parenthesis.

Here, for the given chemical formula, the subscript of N is 1 and the subscript present outside is 2. So, 1 x 2 = 2 and for oxygen, 3 x 2 = 6

So, we have one calcium atom, two nitrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms for one formula unit of given compound.
