Hey there!
The answer as well as the explanation is in the image attached. Let me know if there's anything you're unable to see.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
194.1903
Explanation:
that is for one mole of K2Cro4
First we have to find moles of C:
Molar mass of CO2:
12*1+16*2 = 44g/mol
(18.8 g CO2) / (44.00964 g CO2/mol) x (1 mol C/ 1 mol CO2) =0.427 mol C
Molar mass of H2O:
2*1+16 = 18g/mol
As there is 2 moles of H in H2O,
So,
<span>(6.75 g H2O) / (18.01532 g H2O/mol) x (2 mol H / 1 mol H2O) = 0.74mol H </span>
<span>Divide both number of moles by the smaller number of moles: </span>
<span>As Smaaler no moles is 0.427:
So,
Dividing both number os moles by 0.427 :
(0.427 mol C) / 0.427 = 1.000 </span>
<span>(0.74 mol H) / 0.427 = 1.733 </span>
<span>To achieve integer coefficients, multiply by 2, then round to the nearest whole numbers to find the empirical formula:
C = 1 * 2 = 2
H = 1.733 * 2 =3.466
So , the empirical formula is C2H3</span>
