A decrease in the amount of gas in a container will mean a decrease in pressure.
The mass of an atom is given by the sum of the number of PROTONS and the number of NEUTRONS since ELETRON'S mass is negligible.
The mass is 24+28 = 52.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
I used my passion and skill for learning to do a quick google search :P
To find the empirical formula you would first need to find the moles of each element:
58.8g/ 12.0g = 4.9 mol C
9.9g/ 1.0g = 9.9 mol H
31.4g/ 16.0g = 1.96 O
Then you divide by the smallest number of moles of each:
4.9/1.96 = 2.5
9.9/1.96 = 6
1.96/1.96 = 1
Since there is 2.5, you find the least number that makes each moles a whole number which is 2.
So the empirical formula is C5H12O2.
The correct answer is Potassium Chloride.
