Carbon monoxide (CO) is the name
To
determine the empirical formula of the compound given, we need to determine the ratio of each element in the compound. To do that we assume to have 100 grams sample
of the compound with the given composition. Then, we calculate for the number
of moles of each element. We do as follows:<span>
mass moles
C 56.79 4.73
H 6.56 6.50
O 28.37 1.77
N 8.28 0.59
Dividing the number of moles of each element with
the smallest value, we will have the empirical formula:
</span> moles ratio
C 4.73 / 0.59 8
H 6.50 / 0.59 11
O 1.77 / 0.59 3
N 0.59 / 0.59 1<span>
</span><span>
The empirical formula would be C8H11O3N.</span>
Its number four.Hope that helps feel free to ask me questions:)

Both of you are overlooking a pretty big component of the question...the Group I cation isn't being dissociated into water. We're testing the solubility of the cation when mixed with HCl. And this IS a legitimate question, seeing as our lab manual is the one asking.
<span>By the way, the answer you're looking for is "Because Group I cations have insoluble chlorides". </span>
<span>"In order...to distinguish cation Group I, one adds HCl to a sample. If a Group I cation is present in the sample, a precipitate will form." </span>
